You Tube used to be a good source for original news...

11. For me, the sharp decline started about 6 months ago

I used to access a pretty good stream of videos on everything from quantum physics to refutations of Trumponomics. Now it’s 40% AI slop; rightwingers for another 20%; sports, which I have no interest in whatsoever, for another 20%; shorts from the Sopranos and Breaking Bad for another 15%; leaving 5% for things I’m interested in watching. Not once have I watched a Joe Rogan video, so why does he appear so regularly in my stream?

I dimly recall being asked if YouTube can keep track of what I watch. I said no. After that, the decline hit full force.
