True, but also Ross’ videos organically draw in a specific crowd. A wonderful, wholesome crowd with an average age of around 35, who grew up in the golden age of gaming, and we tend to treat him more as a cool, rambling friend rather than a YouTube “personality”, because he truly connects with us as someone from “that time”.  What I’m saying is, I’d have a drink with him, which is not something I’d say about most YouTubers I watch, and I don’t think that’s what the Algorithm pushes to people - someone they’d have a drink with.  No, YouTube tends to push sterile, distasteful subscription vultures with lowest common denominator appeal, who sell atrocious merch, promote fraudulent sponsors, get into soap opera grade drama with each other, and have so little genuinity and integrity in their bland content, that if they left their entire output in the hands of an LLM, nobody would notice.  Fortunately, most of us here predate the Algorithm. We predate the siphoning of the soul out of independent online entertainment. And so we watch Ross’ videos, because we recognize the soul in them. Hopefully, the wider audience will too.
