As someone who has long disabled youtube search history/recommendations (and shorts disabled with an extension) I was pretty shocked that only 4-5% of his views come from the subscription feed. The irony too is that this video of his is saturated with stock footage to break up the monotony (which he usually never does so it's more of a dunk on his dumber viewers) instead of just one longshot of him staring into the camera the whole time which he has done other videos about. Though part of this is possibly related to his use of a teleprompter and multiple takes to make better videos without obvious jump cuts but I suspect he's just high level attempting to dumb shit down to reach the lowest common denominators.
Related watching:
Overall these hot takes highlight the problem with doom scrolling as well as the overall decreased attention spans of people and the enshittification of all medias and movies which really started to gain momentum imo around 2000-2010.
Lets use the most common vehicle, movies. Movies used routinely to hold long shots but still held your attention.
Old Alfred Hitchpeepee movies are a good example of this which included slow long takes which were planned out in meticulous detail. Here's one of my favorite scenes showing this at it's best from North by Northwest (1959) :
If you haven't seen North by Northwest I don't blame you, but it's basically the original Bourne Identity except if that was a good movie without shitty shaky cam.
Not only was N by NW good, it was planned meticulously . I know this because I've seen Bigpeepee's storyboards for the movie.
Ironically, these storyboards are NOT EVEN really accessible online anymore and even trying to FIND them with AI fricking breaks the AI lmfao:
In addition, the AI links to shit artwork by a fricking r-slur zoomer who REMADE STORYBOARDS FOR HITCHPEEPEE WITHOUT FRICKING REALISING THEY ALREADY EXISTED
https://palmettostopines.com/page/2/
The irony.
This pissed me off so much that I went through the trouble to compile the real story boards, unfortunately it's so difficult to find this shit online anymore because of shit algorythms, I had to manually piece it together from a collection of High and low quality sources due to dead links and shit just so you can compare the actual talent making film used to have:
To round it off, here is a peak example heralding the one of the earliest clear examples of enshittification of movies. I always go back to is this trash one called Domino (2005) from the apex of Keira Knightley's career as a shitty proana actress. The entire movie is literally nothing but jumpcuts that are 99% sub 2-second shots.
Example, Just count the seconds between each cut:
The film bombed because it was shit and also unwatchable, but now the idea that you must be bombarded every second with SUB 1-SECOND CUTS is the eye way of the future, and driven 24/7 by algorithms and dopamine.
TLDR:
Reject algorithms
Embrace thinking
- Algorithm based feeds are r-slurred blackholes that result in feedback loop degradation/model collapse of your brain

I am not surprised. Consider this - if you regularly watch his videos, the YT algorithm will almost certainly shove his video near the top of your feed.
If I'm watching on desktop or TV, I'd say around 80% of the time, I watch videos that are in my sub box from either home page or side recommendations on a video. So I am among those people not watching from the subbox mostly, but if the video didn't show up on my home page, I'd watch it from subbox. That said, I have masterfully trained my algorithm to mostly show me thing I wanted to watch anyway

The best thing to do is to actually turn off your watch history. Then youtube has only your liked videos to go off of and in my opinion does a lot better job of showing more varied and related content than just pulling from your watch history. Also BlockTube is heavily recommended, helps cut down on channels and videos that you don't want Youtube to recommend without giving them extra data.

The irony of your post is the exact opposite issue, when there is an overflow of information and lack of clarity.
On the real though, I do agree that it's gotten pretty bad with how utterly useless web users have gotten. The internet is far too used by absolute r-slurs who didn't grow up with it and have no handle on how things work. It's honestly depressing since the space used to be full of enthusiasts with a lot of information for their relative niche. Nowadays all the information is being hidden behind groomercord channels and shitty quora/reddit threads.
Also his rant about the algorithm really does invoke the MGS2 AI conversation.

It's like the AI in-game says there's just such an ungodly amount of information that it's a sea of digital noise. No one person can parse through it reasonably anymore. It requires AI to create context. Otherwise it's completely unreasonable to expect a human to extract the useful information from such a mess. I think it's an issue of learned helplessness and too little too late. I don't think there's a scenario where things return to how it once was. Once everyone decided that the internet is where they can back themselves up into, the flow of information became too great to dissemintate.

Alright I have a complaint about this video. Most of his complaints seem to stem from internet etiquette and the social rules that we have in the real world that we take online not being a thing. The thing is, the internet is an open platform. I don't see how you can expect others to adhere to some "etiquette" without actual rules or mechanisms to enforce it. It just sounds like you're asking for more jannying. If you post in public you are signaling that this is an open discussion. If you do NOT want people to talk to you in your "semi-private" conversations as he says, that's what DMs are for.

And that's why I find this video frustrating. He's falling to the same problems that he's complaining about, it kinda proves his point but not in the way I assumed he thought it did.

If you got carbon monoxide in your blood stuck to your bloodcels it will change the shape of the hemoglobin the same as if oxygen was except CO has a 200 times greater affinity for hemoglobin binding thus blocks oxygen from coming in through your lungs, so if you were suffering from CO poisoning you would indeed show saturations in excess of 90-99%
chronic smokers have this in a smoldering form where you have to actually look at all the gasses dissolved in their blood to get an accurate picture of how well perfused they are because smoking causes baseline carbon monoxide poisoning but not to a deadly degree but just enough to frick up all the metrics.

This is a schizo/neurodivergent post.
"Fast cuts" "MTV-editing" was a trend in narrative film from like 20 years (interesting that the named examples are Domino and Bourne Identity, both from the same era of filmmaking) that is wildly out of fashion now, regardless of what's happening on Youtube. There's really no common trend between what video essayist cute twinks on YT are doing and actual film production because they're totally different mediums. If you can't find a feature film in 2025 with a sufficiently slow enough editing style for you it's because you're only watching the sloppest of slop. There's still like 200 new movies coming out every six months and capeshit is not representative of the majority of film just because it makes money (and honestly it seems like it's no longer really doing that anymore).
