Exactly, there is a huge amount of quality content on Youtube. No need to demonize everyone because of shit like this. I honestly never even see ridiculous recommendations like these, so it really depends on what you watch and how you curate your feed.
“Content creators” is in quotes because the person you’re responding to isn’t talking about everyone who posts content to Youtube, they’re referring to a specific culture derived from a subset of that group who will cravenly create any sort of material regardless of how much physical or societal harm can come from it. Examples: this plane-crashing psychopath, people creating “pranks” that hurt others or get kids to kill themselves, literally all and any alt-right media, etc.
The problem is that they all think they’re important celebs. Content creator means noting more than you make videos for a website, but people get an ego about it and think they’re celebrities
Maybe I’m misunderstanding, but surely you aren’t grouping this guy with the likes of Veritasium, Smarter Every Day, Steve Mould, or Cody’s Lab (just to name a few)? “Content creators” is a pretty broad brush.
Edit: I think I understand now. The quotes are air quotes; you don’t mean all content creators, but ones that create garbage content, like reaction videos, malicious pranks on strangers, etc., and call themselves “content creators”, right? If that’s what you meant, then sorry for my initial assumption!
For anyone looking for good YT channels, here are some more of my favorite actual content creators: Simone Giertz, Steve Wallis, Matthias Wandel, and Vice Grip Garage.
“Content creators” are legitimately one of the single worst things to have happened.
Eh, there is a ton of content creators who make cool stuff and don’t endanger other people.
