So keep in mind, all of this predates any of my controversies around disparaging React content and Moist Critical and all that jazz.
I really care what a person is showing it for, but a person who finds sincere joy in something, who wants to share it with the world, is just entrancing.
My least favorite content creators are those whose work contains very little actual creativity on their part, like react channels for example.
Imagine spending 100 hours on a video to have a guy rip every frame of it without a single edit to their YouTube channel by reacting to it for 10 minutes.
I suspect each of us has a different line we draw about what should or should not be acceptable.
But I hope we can all agree that YouTubers whose content primarily consists of uploading the entirety of someone else's work with maybe a few pauses are terrible.
If you could change anything about YouTube, what would it be? I'd like if somehow the aforementioned React channels didn't exist.
React channels are able to produce videos far faster than anyone else as they can create a video with 100 hours of quality in a fraction of the time as they don't have to spend that time themselves.
This creates a scenario where if you want to compete with them, you have to join them to a greater or lesser extent.
Every time a react channel has their video shown on YouTube, that's one less impression that would have otherwise been shown to someone who actually put time and creativity into their video.
I don't think they will go away because, as mentioned before, we all have differing ideas as to what sort of reacting is or is not acceptable.
I think if YouTube tried to stop them, they'd be more likely to throw the baby out with the bathwater, but that doesn't mean I have to like the channels.
It's crazy how this so massively predates all of my public statements and it's just mirroring them so well.
