Andrew Keen wrote a book on this in 2007 called The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet Is Killing Our Culture.

I didn't agree with him on the copyright stuff (I loved Napster, pirate bay, sharing etc), but he was right on most of his points.


I block all youtube channels with that stupid checkbox next to it from my search results. you can do the same by adding this ublock origin filter:

youtube.com##ytd-search :is(ytd-video-renderer, ytd-channel-renderer):has(.badge-style-type-verified)


While I mostly agree, especially that I've scrolled past this video's clickbait thumbnail and title before, I suggest using this tool: letsblock.it/filters/youtube-channel

Instead of blanket filtering verified accounts, I spent a few minutes one day plugging in all the obnoxious channels that show up on YT's homepage when signed out.


Why?


Yeah but I've never seen an objective review of the OS by anybody. Everyone's too busy kissing his schizophrenic ass. They're afraid of being dogpiled for telling the truth. I want the truth.

Is the OS impressive or not? It looks like CRAP to me. Nobody seriously uses it yet everyone says it's awesome.

I'm sick of people LYING for this guy because he's dead - just tell the truth you scum society. It BLOWS, doesn't it?


Be the change you want to see in the world! Write that objective review.

I think it's was very good for a single person project. He posted a few good technical comments here. I'd have upvoted many of them, but they usually had some racist rant at the end, so I didn't.

(And some random world soup. I could have ignored that part.)

I think I upvoted one of his comments that has no racist rant, but only some cursing about the CIA. I'm not sure the accusations were true, but the CIA has done a lot of nasty stuff.


Hey look at that, his full audiobook.

Fuck these stupid, commercial websites. Stop giving them money god damnit. They need to die.


I just linked it to the guy. It's definitely online. epub, pdf, and audiobook.
