The announcement that he was the highest-paid YouTuber was literally the first time I had heard of him as a YouTuber. I had occasionally heard reference to his name on some other social media platforms, but never in any context that made me curious enough to find out what was going on.

I'm not a huge YouTube user. But I'm not a complete neophyte. I probably only go on about once a week. I've been on the site for... 14 YEARS?!

WHAT THE HELL?!

Anyway. YouTube is well known for keeping people in very, very specific bubbles. Those bubbles are so strong, you will have a very hard time to get out of them even if you don't want to be in them!

Still trying to figure out how to get YouTube to stop suggesting videos of people streaming their crappy Call of Duty sessions. I don't want to watch any game streaming, let alone CoD, and YouTube keeps sending me videos of people acting like they're gods when really they were just lucky this one time, or obscuring what really happened, or straight up cheating. It's maddening. Downvotes do nothing. Editing my history does nothing. I'm stuck in this incredibly stupid bubble.
