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.

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

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

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.

Do you think its a quantity vesus quality? Idk because I've seen a long of quality info at times but it doesn't fit into the framework and isn't easily digested therefore gets no traction.
On a lighter note I thought Arsenal gear as a plot tool was r-slurred, but then the NSA dragnet came out and now it's not as r-slurred, especially w/AI now adays

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.

Is "arcane rare knowledge" really being hidden away behind Groomercord? I've always assumed they're full of r-slurs, so it's not like we're missing anything.

Unfortunately. A lot of software's troubleshooting forums or setup are now hidden in groomercord servers.

So we're moving back to IRC, essentially. Oh well.
