A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

And new creators take their place, if you're only seeing shit on YouTube it's because you're only subscribed to shit.
To be fair, a lot of the good ones have moved over to, or always has been on, Nebula. (I'm not getting paid for pitching Nebula, just saying.)
In essence, you're both right, to some degree, but not completely.
Tell me you're out of touch without telling me you're out of touch. Most of the good creators only upload once in a blue moon nowadays. The search feature is completely useless. Dislikes have been removed, so you can't easily filter garbage anymore. Shorts, a toxic form of content, is getting pushed down users' throats. Their UI is getting worse all the time...
I have no trouble finding good content and if you don't use the official app or use it in your browser you can just disable shorts. It's also not like dislikes ever actually filtered content lmao. You never saw videos with crazy dislike ratios back in the day? Engagement votes are engagement, whether they're positive or negative.
Have you considered that your definition of "good content" might be shit?
