Do you still watch YouTube? Who do you follow? (lemmy.eco.br)

It seems that everything turned into scams, aggressive self marketing and just click bait irrelevant content. I liked finance videos, but every creator sounds like "the world will end soon" or "my secret method to make 1 million per week day trading stocks/forex/crypto."

Content aimed at culture (movies/series) also behave the same way, throwing a bit of politics into the mix. Always the same incendiary click bait title spewing a bunch of nonsense that has nothing the story, setting characters or other topics relevant to the piece.

Is there anything that can be saved on that platform? It has gotten so bad that I'm start to think that Tiktok and Twitter both have better content than YouTube. At least in those platforms you can find a random dude writing an essay in a series of 20 tweets on why an increase of mantis is related to the global surge of ballpoint pen prices.

I really wish there was a save comment feature because I’m subscribed to about half of those and I need to check the other half out.

At least in sync there is the option to save comments and it works. You can afterwards find the comments in your profile. Not sure if it's a sync or a Lemmy feature though.

Edit: just checked and it's actually a Lemmy feature. You can just long press a comment and hit the star to save it.
