Woke up this week to about 15 really abusive replies from about 3 different account. All over something I’ve described as a personal experience. I’ve been called a “liar” and “a c***” just for describing that.
I went to block and realised I cannot. Team Youtube say this feature has been removed. What is it with these websites going Twitter/Reddit and actively making their site not just worse but harmful?
Because it leads to more of what they euphemistically call engagement. Angry and obsessed people are great for engagement.
They do not care about you just that the line keeps going up.
Nobody is watching the ads. They’re all too busy abusing the hell out of each other.
youtube does not care if you watch the adds. They get paid to serve the adds. More engagement, more adds served.
