YouTube Likes

There was a time when I would click the thumbs up button on videos made by people I'm subscribed to on YouTube when the video started. That's not the case anymore.

My mouse still hovers over to the thumb buttons but I don't click. I watch the video and sometimes halfway through I'll click the thumbs up button. Sometimes I wait until the very end. Sometimes I don't click at all.

It's not that I dislike the videos I've been watching lately, but many of them are not worth the three-ish minutes it takes to watch them. Many of them are of a lower quality than what I watched a year ago. Two years ago. Vloggers get better cameras and lighting. They learn to edit better. But in a lot of cases the content quality goes down.

I don't click the thumbs down button, though. Instead I'm waiting for the videos to be better again. I'm waiting for minutes better spent.
