    …and YouTube is one of the major reasons. The web’s not a fucking TV and if you’re using it as a TV you’ll get stupid even faster than from watching actual TV.

      Wouldn’t that depend on what you’re watching?

      You can watch reality TV on YouTube, or traditional television.

      You can watch educational content and documentaries on YouTube, or traditional television.

      Hell you can watch some traditional TV shows on YouTube or traditional television.

      YouTube is just a platform for hosting content. Now they may have a “better” algorithm compared to traditional television, but that doesn’t really change much.

        Well, have a look what content is getting the most views. I had no idea someone could be that stupid.

          Well, have a look what TV show is getting the highest ratings. I had no idea someone could be that stupid.

          I’ve heard this argument for like 30 years. Everything old is new again.
