My point in my comment was about how YouTube is expensive to run and that the more people who refuse to generate revenue for it (I feel dirty writing that and strongly disagree with it, by my feelings have no effect on reality,) then it has to make shittier and shittier decisions to generate that revenue.

I 100% agree that YouTube should pay their creators more and protect them from bullshit copyright, but that would just compound the issue of the cost of running the site.

What is this entitled attitude everyone has where they believe they should be handed things for free? It completely unsustainable and childish. Corporations do not do things for free, they can't. They exist solely to generate revenue and if they can't, they die. I generally hate corporations on principle, but again my feelings don't change reality.

You'll care as more and more people have to quit YouTube or make progressively more shit content to appease the algorithm. It also makes it harder and harder for new people to start on YouTube.

Basically everything within capitalism fucks over someone that's just business as usual 8n out society. Usually to a much worse degree, think the children who likely made your clothes for next to nothing. I'm all for tearing down the system, but there's not a whole lot as an individual that I can do.

I'm aware of that. But you're insane if you think that in even 100 years from now manners and politeness/respect will be gone. Basically ever generation for literal centuries have had similar opinions about the manners of the youth, and guess what; manners and respect have stayed pretty much the same. Sure the way it's expressed may be different from centuries ago but people are still generally polite to others in most scenarios.

And as an aside I used boomers as an example because it's usually the older generation that hold such opinions. But that's probably a bad assumption here considering the average boomer has probably moved on from fart humour.

You obviously don't get out much. >90% of people have perfectly fine manners and respect in the real world, it only the terminally online who would think this. Or boomers I guess.

Well, we certainly didn't leave that signature sense of superiority behind.

That's more of a corruption issue isn't it? If your country was the opposite leaning politically, the same corrupt politicians would still do their best increase their wealth and power at the expense of anyone else. It's not something unique to the left or the right, or any political stance. Power corrupts, and as you gain more power, thus increasing the chance for corruption, the easier it is to gain more power. Ad infinitum.
