    I used to spend my lunches watching videos on reddit’s /r/videos and for yeeeeeeeears they would just post videos of influencers talking about how they’re getting fucked by youtube. I rarely go to YouTube, I rarely use most social media I just wanted to waste my 5 to 10 minutes of eating a sandwich and watching a silly video or something, But I suddenly was very knowledgeable about all the stupid YouTube drama and it felt to me like the solution was to go somewhere else, in fact I got so fucking annoyed by these constant removed about a garbage website that I stopped this lunch tradition entirely (But not before posting a long rant like an old man yelling at a cloud). However if there was an exodus that would also be admitting that these influencers would have to basically start over or hope their followers would follow them. They’re tied to their income I guess. I find it pretty despicable but I think that’s the reason. These people make a wild amount of money and it’s hard to walk away from it out of principle (for them, cause they scared lil b-holes).
