People should learn to live without YT, instead of making an existential drama about it (about its ads, really).
This is the way. Let those content creators sucking up your time be the background noise they were always meant to be.
25 years in IT and I didnt need youtube.
BUT, I prefer learning by reading, not videos.
I'm sorry you got stuck with that. I too worked evenings and weekens. But I left. They ended up hiring three people to replace me.
I took a risk and exited IT. I now manage technical teams and projects in the dental industry.
I understand the usefulness of good video content, I was simply responding to the fact that this IT guy chooses to read rather than watch.
And your rant highlights a very common theme in corporations today. And not everyone has the freedom or the option to slide out from under it.
As for boomers, fuck 'em. I don't look down on the younger generations. I see smart young people trying wade through the crap us boomers left behind. And trying to navigate a shitty corporate world.
I hope opportunity knocks for you.
This is insane. My career started three years ago. I'm Gen-Z. Never used YouTube for learning. We get it dude you like videos, most don't and don't learn that way. Videos are mostly for ads and grifting
