00:00 My channel is going to be changing, here is why.
00:07 The world is getting worse.
00:47 The current version of Youtube is contributing to making the world worse.
01:30 I have watched Youtube change from a platform of informing, into a platform of draining.
02:08 Youtube is wasting your time.
02:52 Why is this a bad thing?
03:45 We are increasingly being surrounded by systems and products that are actively making your life worse, and draining you of your ability to support yourself.
04:11 So what does this mean for my channel?
05:04 If a system isn't sustainable, it is inevitably going to die. That isn't a possibility, it is a mathematical guarantee.
06:20 You need to start taking every second of every day more seriously, and spending more time learning. This isn't an option, this is an absolute necessity.
07:12 I am going to start bringing more of that spirit of education and practical training into my content, and into everything I do.
08:01 I am moving away from video games that are essentially just paid online casinos. The current state of the games industry is almost completely predatory, and is harmful to both myself and the people I showcase the games to.
09:01 The current state of Youtube (and other social media platforms) will collapse if they continue on the trajectory that they are currently on.
11:11 So what kind of content am I going to be creating?
12:10 I believe this is also a big reason why many "entertainment" channels are dying, and many education channels are starting to grow.
13:12 What does this mean for Operation: Harsh Doorstop?
13:45 I intend to use Operation: Harsh Doorstop for what it was built for, a free tool to help teach more people about the fundamentals of software and game development.
14:29 Here is a list of content creators who I believe represent this positive direction of valuable and educational content
19:57 Things are going to change. Not because people are going to decide to make a change, but because anyone who doesn't change isn't going to survive.
21:15 Going forward, my content is going to reflect that. I want to start building a community of people who are survivors, interested in learning, and improving the world around them.
