I guess when you can’t dispute the facts it’s time for the ad hominem.

I can present the facts or I can troll for clicks using the facts, its a choice
Every single YouTuber is “trolling for clicks”.
Is this your first time using the platform?

That’s unfortunate. YouTube is like my TV now. Watch it more than anything else. Lots of interesting things out there. Also a lot of things I learned from it.

The only thing I use it for is to see how something comes apart like a lawn tractor or compressor and I don't mind giving them clicks for that as it is money for me but the rest is a tough format for me. It has little passive entertainment value like cable TV bundles. Same "stuff" over and over again.

I’m impressed at how well the cheesy free movies align with my tastes.
Saved thousands of dollars paying someone , instead watch DIY YT videos.

Disagree. There is some really good YouTube content. My kid loves it for Blippi and Peppa Pig. I use it for some of good vlogs like Carpetbagger and Super Enthused. Both do great vlogs around different parts of the US.

This is a bit of a tangent, but I agree that YouTube is like most of the Internet these days in that there's lots of great stuff and lots of noise that you can fairly easily steer through. I actually pay the subscription fee as I also probably watch it more than any of the streaming services, so I view the time saved watching ads as worth it.
The type of video linked to above is the sort of stuff that you either have to look for or will come your way if you seek out those corners of the site.

Yes, I went to a Greek Island a couple of weeks ago and it was very useful for choosing which to visit! Just as an aside, taking the ferry to Heraklion in Crete to catch a flight home, I did spy one of the Disney ships docked off Santorini.

There is some great stuff on YouTube, stuff that would never find an audience otherwise - Red Letter Media, for instance - but it’s also a cesspool that can drag people down and radicalize them, particularly if they aren’t particularly good at evaluating and critically engaging with sources. Most folks aren’t. Or if they sort of want to be radicalized.
You also have to be kind of looking for that stuff
Today I watched train travel through India.
I will not be doing that.

Making fun of trans people should be against the rule but I guess the mods are ok with this on their threads. smh.

You can make fun of me to even things out.

Not making fun, serious question.

I agree with you in theory...I want to see Disney fixed, not just burnt to the ground because oh I'm so mad and frustrated and I hate Iger. I know some Disney critics can be very abrasive and I get how that can be a huge turn off for Disney fans. I even get how some can view that kind of viciously anti-Disney rhetoric as toxic. But I also think pining for Disney to be fixed is an exercise in futility. Call me when they start making some changes, but until then I won't hold my breath, for fear of suffocating. None of my (our) core problems with the Disney parks are likely to be fixed soon...or even at all. So I personally have divorced from my Disney fandom. And I strongly urge others not to hold out hope for things to get better any time soon.
