Worse. YouTube peaked around 2010s 100%. There's a lot of great content to find now, but you have to go digging.
Gaming is at an all time low, peoples standards have fallen off a cliff, games are made like shit. I think this is also because of how big and mainstream it is now too. There's so much money and manipulation in it.
I think the best of youtube has been pretty consistent, it's just that there's exponentially more crap (and the algorithm wants you watching crap).
For games, I do agree that most AAA games are not very good, but we are in a golden age of indie gaming. There are so many amazing games being released constantly it's overwhelming.
Yeah, but there being more crap, means its less at its peak imo. You used to go on and just have good content mostly, now theres so much clickbait and garbage to sift through, which while the good content is still there, not being able to find it means YouTube is lesser because of it.
And absolutely, indies are the way to go, there's a lot of low effort shit still posted to Steam every year, but the gems are in there. Big AA, AAA games are just money farmers now and they are also often buggy and unpolished even if the base game is good. All the additional purchases and shit ughhh, gaming fell off. There's no game I am looking forward to anymore, I'm just waiting to be pleasantly surprised by some random new indie game that will drop.
That's ridiculous.
