My rant on Youtube and other big platforms

Well, it is not something new that current social media and software in general sucks to say the least. I don’t care about new features and other stuff I did not asked for. There are so many issues I have no clue where to start.

How is that whenever youtube does something, we expect nothing, yet somehow youtube finds the way to disappoint us anyway?

Alright, let me start. Youtube shove shorts instead of regular videos on my main page, despite I never watch them. I ignore it and I try to hide it whenever I can. Youtube automatically translates videos from languages I know (such as english). This was returning issue and I could not turn that „feature” off. Regardless of annoyed public, braindead decisionmakers kept that feature for months before it faded into oblivion. But regardless of that, there are still some videos automatically translated by AI. Why do I want that? Why can’t I turn that off? Why youtube shoves me features I did not asked for? Also somehow my complaint valuated google support rules. Too bad I don’t know what rule exactly I violated, but anything that vaguely points at direction that might or might not contain violent content such as criticism and admiting that everything about youtube SUCKS is just too much for the circle of shared masturbation called google.

Now about the community standards.

Have anyone thought to him/herself that youtubes community standards reflects you? Your thinking? Like – as the cartoon creator I stumbled on hidden comments, because algorhytm censored them for me. I didn’t even know they exist. They were hidden from all. No warning, just person who wrote not even vulgar comment with his word hidden by a algorhytm. Now think to yourself – how many comments are hidden like that? Not even spam comments, not even ads or anything. Just regular comments hidden because they were… What exactly? Why they were hidden? What did the autors do? Nobody knows.

Now think about forbidden words. Youtube silences everything related topics of violence or death. There are videos where weapons or alcohol are blurred. What kind of community or culture is that? Why we can’t talk about things that are not nice? What kind of people would that bred? Nothing worth of discussion, nothing worth of second thought. One big waste of time, effort and ability to think for yourself.

Before I forget, how can once every blue moon youtube can screw one feature to the point of unusability?

Recently because of some two-step security or something I could not upload new videos to my 2nd channel. I get it, I’m exposed. I don’t care, let me upload video. But no! I can’t just refresh this upload page. This two step security will be there again. I can’t dismiss it. I can’t close it. I can’t skip it. I can do nothing, but do that regardless of my free will. What sort of stupid incompetent !@%^&$#!& is this? There are people who are paid for this, while others are fired because of AI reasons. My god.

Alright, now let me rant Instagram and Facebook. Even though there is little left for me to rant.

It’s not surprise Facebook is utter slop. Site where you’re supposed to see your friends posts is now full of garbage and AI slop. It hurts. Whenever I visit this forbidden waste dumb I see same and same people uploading variations of same maps altered by AI. It’s not smart. It’s not informative. It’s not funny. It’s not. But for some reason I have to see this every time. Do I really have to block the autor to not see their posts? For some reason Instagram does not have this issue. Posts there are actually funny and on point. But for whatever reason Facebook thinks I’m interested in matters like my friend posting comment on completely random irrelevant post. My other friend having birthday yesterday. My friends being interested in events I can’t even see, because it redirects me to the completely irrelevant site, where I can’t see what kind of events are they interested in exactly. I can write entire rant on how badly Facebook is designed, but does it matter? Does anyone cares? Is there anyone for the disscusion? For the rant you can’t rant on reddit or any lame forum? Who knows…

In case of Instagram there is less to rant on. I like Instagram. Algorhytm gives me good and funny stuff. I’m rarely disappointed. Every comment is displayed. There are dumb images in every comment. I can’t rant how much I want and people will like my comments. Very satisfying. But for the love of god… Why are settings so horribly designed? Why is that every time I want to change something in settings, I have to look up to the internet to find some posts from years ago pointing to the settings no longer existing? Why do I have to look up to the internet to find seemingly easy answer just to found out it was changed and it’s no longer the case? Why does it happen everywhere? Why does the good old working customer support now is just another AI slop? Why I can’t contact support regularly and report common issue? And why does the customization is dead? I can rant on that matter for ages and probably will do. I hate what happened over the decades to the old internet. And it’s dead I tell you. Alright, enough on that.

Google is easy pick to rant on. Usually 5 matches on search are sponsored stuff. Unrelated to the matter. Much often than not I found seemingly correct link just to found out some irrelated search on other site which has not the answer or the product I’m looking for. Why I can’t talk about this? I’ve been tricked and my time was wasted. I hate when this happened. It’s useless. It’s not helping. It’s not profiting anyone. Why to do this? I fucking hate this economy. I almost want to invent new words to call this. Now on google images. I can’t search correct images. I can’t extend search. Graphics display is limited to few options, compared to the old infinite search. Not only that, but now you can’t even properly display image. You can’t display image, but rather you’ll be redirected to the site. Well, with that amount of trickery and straight up deception, google is on the straight path to find itself replaced by any competitor which will do anything google is no longer capable of doing.

I would like to rant on the google customer support and any other customer support overall, but I think it’s a good idea to write separate post for that.

Alright, that’s all I believe.

How I manifested my perfect apartment

Back then in 2019, before covid was a thing, I wanted to move out of my mother’s apartment. I live in Wrocław, Poland. All I had was a desire to discover life and some luck. I had no proper education. I had no interest in such things. I was happy doing some dumb things repetitive things and talking to people. 

During summer 2019 I have changed my lifestyle from basement nolife to partybeast. I desired to go out and meet people and they came to me naturally. Like they felt my genuine desire. My social skills grew significantly. Unfortunately lots of people didn’t liked my new habits, but it seems they didn’t know me enough. You may raise a wolf, but you can’t tame the inner beast. Desire for freedom always wins.

So, about the apartment I wanted… I had a job at amazon during that time. I was smart enough to not spend all my money at once and to maintain good relations with people. Even if I disliked them, I was so curious I let myself get to know them. 

I told a few of them I want to move out. I had one friend who wanted to move as well, but it wasn’t meant to happen. Rumor spread around friend groups and one reached me out telling me he’s changing apartments and if I want to be his roommate. I agreed. My only demand was to live close to the Amazon bus stop (where I was working), so I wont waste too much time traveling and to have a typical student-styled locum. I never had that student phase. Besides the fact that I was known as a stereotypical student. 

When I got the information about the apartment they wanted to rent, I was quite disenchanted. It was located 1 bus stop next to one I hopped in to get to work. It meant 48 instead of 52 minutes of ride. Not gonna mention, it was the neighborhood next to mine, so location-wise it was unbeneficial. But the worst insult was the interior design. I despise the modern looking white interior. It’s so soulless and artificial. And of course there is no working desk, because why does anyone want a desk, when you can have a small table to break by placing legs too fast? 

Yeah. I wanted to have a typical student apartment next to the fastest amazon route. Well, guess what? My soon-to-be roommate’s friend was just leaving their apartment. By coincidence it was next to this stop and it had the exact style I wanted. Old wooden furniture. Cozy, colourful interior design. Walls decorated by leftover materials, which lots of people would consider as cheap or as waste, but I found it amusing. And best of all, no neighbours. 

Yes, my desire for a partying lifestyle came to happen. We have guests almost every week. My roommates knew all my friends. I could host all sorts of card game nights without feeling weird by hosting them in my family home. 

Unfortunately this came to an end a couple months later. But I was satisfied. 

To summarise this, if you want to make your desired lifestyle and housing happen, you have to be sure and live to that. Before that I almost manifested different types of housing. Almost unbelievable to have in my area. 

You have to live your life and aim for what you please. Remember, everything is possible, you have to live it and breathe it. Be it. But not get lost. I wasn’t actively thinking about getting a certain apartment. Wishing so to say. I just smartly took it after I spread rumors and prepared ground. Remember, manifesting works on many levels. Be realistic and create your ground. Potential so to say. it won’t happen from thin air. Though it may look like. But don’t think about it. Just be smart about that.

And for the last. you must be grounded in your life. Know yourself and what you’re good at and bad at. Life on earth is life on earth. What happens on earth, happens via earthly deeds. To manifest something earthly, such as your housing, it must be within the timeline you aim. Your internal map of life. Of fate you choose. Otherwise, it will shift and you will be spread between desire you’re trying to hold and string of fate, you’re pulling. Be smart, not stupid.

Yeah, that’s all I have to say. Feel free to contact me if you have questions about manifesting. I’d love to answer them and talk more about it.

Have a great day o/
