    Yeah, no kidding. Google’s been getting lazy with its search results. The first dozen hits on most Google searches are either YouTube or Reddit results.

      The YouTube videos that should have been a post or an article shoved down your throat are aggravating.

        Oh so it’s not only me. 15 minutes of video, 3 ads, to get some information that I cannot copy paste with distractions and entertainment, when all I was looking for was the equivalent of half A4 page of text.

        I don’t blame the creators, to be clear, but I blame who created the economical conditions that made this happen.
