There was a time when people worked jobs and made videos to share something interesting. Sure it wasn’t broadcast quality, but it was a person sharing something to the world. Now people are just feeding the algorithm and their pocket because apparently there’s no other way. I get times are different, but it doesn’t make it right.
The video and information is very interesting nonetheless. CRTs also had a nice warm feeling, literally, because of that sweet radiation.
These people still exist, they are just harder to find
Big "nobody wants to work" energy
This.
I used to make Blender videos back in the day. I loved when people liked what I did or wanted to learn. Charging money for it would destroy the magic and make it a job and eventually I would make garbage like this to maximise the profit.
I deleted my YouTube account when I realised what it was becoming. I had no idea it would actually get much, much, much worse than I could ever imagine.
CRT screens did not blast you with radiation, the glass blocked it from hitting you.
