I miss the way YouTube used to be. People were so ruthless in the comments that you could watch a horrible video and still get a great laugh out of the comments. A complete stranger you’ve never met could make your day but now it’s all censored. I remember the comments on Rebecca Black’s Friday music video was an endless goldmine of cruel and hilarious comments. There was one comment I’ll never forget: “guys it’s not that bad once the blood in your ears dry up and you can’t hear the song anymore.” 😂

One day we will have a YouTube client on nostr and no one will be able to censor it. I look forward to the laughs 🫡

Is Rumble any better in that regard? It’s really amazing to me that younger folks in the US, and indeed entire once-great nations in Western Europe have embraced censorship wholeheartedly.

It’s the same problem. They can take down or censor you but as of today, they claim they don’t do that. That could easily change or the government could step in and force them to censor. On nostr, you can’t do that.

Remember when they took away the ability to see how many dislikes a video will get

That was one of the best features. The YouTube experience got so much worse after that. Now you have to waste your time watching the video to find out that it’s bad.

The comments section isn’t what it used to be… this generation will grow up to be a bunch of pussies who can’t handle rejection and criticism… won’t do them any good in the long run

I don’t know if I totally agree with that. Gen z kids are kind of assholes haha YouTube got neutered but they have TikTok and it’s pretty brutal 😂
