   youtube is filled with videos proclaiming everything I've been doing that made the bulk of my income over the last 14 years is a hype scam bubble. its basically lasted longer and been more profitable than anything normal I've done and allowed me to escape debt and soul crushing working conditions. in addition to that I'm now an expert in some of these things and the computer science is real and they're fucking retarded youtubers

     @newt their ideas are retarded but yes making videos that reinforce mainstream thought while pretending to be "against the grain" are quite profitable too.

     @sun what's their watch count? If it's at least in hundreds of thousands, they aren't so retarded.

     @newt I don't actually know the economics of being a youtuber these days but if you're in the USA and not making a couple hundred thou a year you're probably struggling to buy health insurance on the open market since you don't have an employer

     @sun throwing out a few of vids that gather 200k-300k views each every month will land you somewhere in that area. Depends on the subject and the target audience.

     @sun it's not that it's a bubble it's more like an organism that is resistant to radiation yet still serves no ecological role

     @ten my interpretation is that crypto is a bunch of the bad things about money, because it turned out that the good and useful things were far more difficult to bootstrap than expected.

     @radmin @anemone it is more about the youtubers (and websites). There is constantly new things happening and they just shit on it. I get being against hype and against the way that the crappiest version of everything persists though.

     @anemone@ebiverse.social @sun@shitposter.world Maybe it's about the tech industry in general. There's a lot of bait videos about how the tech industry is doomed and that you shouldn't have a career there. Usually, they will have everything in uppercase with a shocked/angry head and whatever the fuck.
     
     Imo, that's why I never let the algorithm decide for me what I'll watch. I'm not going to take in a word from people who only care about wasting your time for money :neocat_drake_dislike:
