Average YouTube influencer for me.

It's gotten even worse in the past year. Most of them sound like they're parroting AI summaries of blog posts and sprinkling stupid ass cutaway gags to memes. Like rather than actually consuming the entire body of context around a subject and having an informed take, they're just giving shallow thoughts and trying to monetize.

Any YouTuber whose whole angle is to spicy commentary on current events in tech/programming is definitely part of the trash heap.

Problem here is you're watching "influencers."
