Ever heard of an algorithm the guys put up on that?
Memes are really low qual these days unless if it's original content which surely YouTube is tryna delete so their users don't have a mind. And the creators of the unfunny memes get unrealistic subs and likes/dislikes from just that one video. Plot twist: they're the bots who comment on every trending vid and spam annoying repeated comments like:
"Who's watching/listening in 20XX (that's on almost every song even before YouTube began)"
"This was in your recommended/You searched for this"
"The (X) dislikes are from _____"
"Edit: Wow, I didn't think I'd get so many likes"
"(Reddit moments/unfunny spaced out meme setups)"
"If you (X) you're a (Y)"
(Or any other annoying repeated spam comment(s) among those
And thank God we have thumbnail mockery as a meme right now, because now everybody is willing to do anything mindlessly, especially clickbait; or to risk their lives for just one video to get a ton of likes and subs, pretty much an overrated version of our upvote beggar problems and the same thing TikTok tends to do with little children. In short "socialist Illuminati bandwagon" is where our society as whole is at as of now.
YouTube isn't what it used to be, now they're a bunch of mindless slaves to the government forcing you to think for them and others but not yourself, producing even more slaves, even out of the young. There's nothing good on there compared to what it used to be. Your social life was and is still basically and illusion your whole life. There's no humanity or morale in anything that crosses your path for as long as you exist.
But you can still use YouTube, it's not that I'm against you, but I'm against what they're pulling.
