It seems that the end game of corporate controlled social media is for corporate interests to control what you read or watch.

Happened with the feed of Facebook. originally was a true social network where you scrolled through what your family and friends posted. Now it is a algorithm designed to maximize attention and sell influence,

Happened with YouTube. Used to be really pro independent user … now the search functionality is barebones giving you maybe one or two results… the rest promoted content.

TikTok just straight up controls what you consume from the get go

Reddit wants to join in the same model. Heavily corporate moderated content masquerading as “use content.

Sadly I am not too hopeful for a new platform. Any true open forum upvote downvote platform will be torpedoed before it can get going …

There is definitely something wrong with discovery UX on youtube. I have many interests, but each of my devices has converged down to one topic based on usage. I don't know how to explore new topics, it's like I can only flip between my recommendation algorithm or global trending.
