6. A lot of obsolete, untruthful, dangerous information on the internet

Reich wings videos disguised as financial brilliance. And a lot of reposted stuff. They clip a new intro onto someone else's old video to get a new date and make ad clicks. It's all about money.

I do have my favorites. Car repair videos can be good, especially if relevant DIY. eBay vids can be hype in rose-colored glasses. I made $876 in 24 hours from Walmart and Thrift Store finds! Juices those ad clicks. It's all about money.

I read somewhere that one of the more prominent mechanics claimed to make more than $55,000 a month from YouTube advertising clicks. So you can see why the hype. The more outrageous, the more eyeballs, the more money. It's all about money.

Liberal points of view still underrepresented on YouTube. We don't know how to monetize. We'd rather win elections than be rich. But you need money to win elections, so we have work to do. It's all about money.
