I hope the glasses break on their face. But:
The two customers were, in fact, recording Hinkle, and the entire exchange was turned into content for social media.
…Can people not see this is the root problem?
These asswipes make a living being asswipes because Google, Meta, or Tiktok pay them to. Thats the root incentive. Most wouldnt risk all that trouble unless it was their living.
In other words, I dont want the moral of the story to be “this wouldnt happen without Meta glasses.” The platform subsidizing those glasses is the ultimate problem.
I see a lot of honest YouTubers who break their backs putting together quality educational hobby content and over time I have followed some as their numbers climb and it turns into more of a full time thing for them.
And then I see these brainrot morons pulling down 1000x the numbers and it’s just crushing. I guess people would rather eat shit than vegetables.

It’s not entirely their choice. The algorithm decides what’s presented.
I don’t understand this argument. Yes the algorithm is pretty bad and pushes a lot of random trash content but YouTube has always offered a way to get away from the algorithm, and even now today they haven’t broken it. Just subscribe to the channels you’re interested in and don’t go on the home page. End of problem
It does so based on their inputs though. That doesn’t mean people are entirely in charge, but I think it’s wrong to say they have no involvement and just receive whatever the silicon genie dictates.
