I find that I have to see who published a video before clicking on it. Too much crap using others work, voices and reputations.

Google owns YouTube. Is anyone surprised by this development? Another tech monopoly willingly ditching veracity for the buck.

and constantly uploading more and more slop.

They're harmful, not just making videos from real creatives harder to find, denying worthwhile content deserved attention, but often dumbing down viewers with information that's incorrect.
