I'm starting to get sick of YouTube everything

Amateur Radio · 1 year ago

Just a brief rant:

I’m seriously getting tired of looking for some information about a rig, antenna, etc and being directed to nothing but YouTube videos. It seems everyone wants to be a famous influencer.

Just look at the main QRZ.com page. It’s all links to YouTube videos.

Sometimes videos help but it’s become absurd - especially when it takes less time to read the information than watch some video. Oh, if you’re making some stupid face and pointing at something, I doubt I will ever watch the video.

It boosts some engagement variable for algorithm -which, I’m told, improves some score and placement.
