I haven't made more videos because of my living conditions (cramped environment, constant noise outside, system source problems, and more bullshit), but I want to make more (old school stuff, because for the most part I hate the "professional" way of doing anything (though there are exceptions, some high-effort videos made in a more "professional way are very good, but those are different, because again, high-effort, the people making them put a shitload of effort into them, it's not just disposable consoomer trash), videos were way better in the 2000s and even very early 2010s), and they won't be on YouTube. It's just not worth it.

You may not know this, but you actually have to dox yourself to post videos longer than 15 minutes long (unless they changed that). You have to send them a picture of a credit card, or maybe a driver's license, to remove that limitation. So, either you dox yourself, or you have to split videos into multiple parts like it's the 2000s again (but only in the bad ways).

There's no real reason to use YouTube at this point. I'd rather just use Odysee. Not like I have delusions of popularity anyway, that generally doesn't happen anymore unless you are a normalfag and make trash and have no self-respect.

Though of course, to be clear, there are people that still make videos I like. Weird and crazy anime and game videos, including gigantic analysis videos, videos about hardware, videos of random nobodies that I happen to like rambling about random things. There's still a lot of good stuff, there's just a much lower ceiling when it comes to how popular it can get, and it's much harder to find because YouTube is not going to want you to see the guy that gets 100 views per video, it's going to want you to see LinusSoyTips and fucking CNN.

Here is a good video, by the way, just as a treat and as an example and evidence of good things:

To me there's not really that much of a lack of good stuff. Especially when I watch videos so many times (and go back to old videos so much). There are hour long videos that I have rewatched (technically mostly relistened, after the first time, unless visuals really matter, but the video can always be to the side) close to 10 times. It's just how I am, I guess. People get tired of things much more easily than I do. I tend to enjoy a lot of things more, as I do them more times. When I can get so much enjoyment out of single videos, quantity becomes less of a concern, though I'm sure that there are tons of obscure channels that get no views out there, that contain things I would like.

The reality is... there are two different internets, used by completely different types of people and in different ways, but also, even within YouTube itself, there are some people that are more on our side of the internet than the mainstream side. And there are people that really don't give a fuck about making YouTube their "career", and those are the good ones a lot of the time.
