Google executives acknowledged this month they need to do a better job surfacing user-generated content after the recent Reddit blackouts.

    Yeah that will be the thing I miss the most when looking for stuff as I try to rely less on reddit.

    I get so tired of trying find information via blogs or YouTube. Most of them are:

    “So you may have an issue doing this thing or you want to learn more about this thing so we are going to tell you about this thing. Blah blah blah as they go on telling you in different ways about how they are going to tell you and other reasons why you want to hear what they are about to tell you.”

    Mostly seems to be a way to make you scroll down and be bombarded with ads (if you do not use an ad block)

    Soo frustrating and waste of my time.

      At 10-11 minutes they get a second ad roll, so 99% of videos are about this length.

      It’s almost a certainty that a 2:30 video has more information than an 11:01 video.
