'Be the change you want to see in the world'?

Or just 'decide if you want dumb clicks or reasoned interested'.

I hate what you describe about YouTube. To me the worst offender is a chap who used to go by 'Stephen the Robot', but I think he changed the channel name, his actual content is excellent, but I have to sit holding the remote, so that I can skip all his repulsive self-reactions and crash-zooms on his face. It's such a shame, he's working on an awesome project, it's really interesting, (open source scratch built pick and place machine) but the delivery seems to be designed for 'tweenagers' on TikTok. (For context, I'm in my 20s, hardly old and grouchy. I actually might not be older than him even, unsure.)

The key is to get the dumb clicks (to pay the bills), while not going so far as to disenfranchise the core audience.
