Hey friends, Vedant here. So, we all love YouTube, right? It’s an incredible platform that's given us everything from cat videos to deep-dive educational content. But there’s a sneaky little problem with YouTube that no one really talks about, and honestly, even I’ve fallen into this trap. You see, beneath the endless hours of entertainment and education, YouTube’s algorithm is designed to keep us hooked, often at the expense of our time and mental well-being. It's a bit like falling down a rabbit hole where the line between productive learning and mindless consumption blurs. In this video, we'll dive into the nitty-gritty of how YouTube's recommendation system can hijack our attention, the pressures creators face to chase trends, and how this impacts both viewers and content creators. I'll also share some personal insights and tips on how to make YouTube work for you, rather than the other way around. Thank you for reading this far. Please follow my instagram to give me an ego boost: (joke) https://www.instagram.com/vedanttishere/
