And again, use the "not interested" option on individual vids and channels. It's not perfect, but it does make a difference.

TrekYards made me giggle when I noticed their episode reviews were longer than the damn episode......Do they get more money if the video is longer and YT can slice in more ads?
TrekYards just gets carried away with their analyses sometimes. I think the length of their reviews is something that just kind of happened.
I never listened to a Midnight's Edge podcast until recently, when they interviewed Nick Meyer. That first time was good enough for me. I don't think I need to hear anything from them again.

That was actually the closest ME has ever gotten to an unbiased episode.
It's not like many "real jobs" add that much value to the world anyway.
If they can find a way to make a decent living in today's economy, more power to 'em I say. Especially via Patreon or GoFundMe, thier audeinces are paying directly what they feel the content is worth. God bless them
These "outrage" videos are simply people playing to a particular crowd. No different than actors in a TV show.
In the end it's just people with differing opinions. Don't agree, just don't watch. Simple.
Sounds like something that got cut from Star Trek V. That would be interesting to see.
I just don't log in. I just use it to watch stuff I fancy with no recommendations, no messages, can't post comments, can't upload.
It's good...
I recently watched a part of one of these DSC hater vids where the "host" stupidly admitted that bashing DSC got them more views. Although he probably meant this as a dig at DSC, to me it meant that their other video content was probably even more worthless and lame than their DSC vids.
This wasn't Midnight's Edge. The host dude had long hair, short beard and mustache, and dressed like an old style hippie. He had one of those typical "radio" voices. He just flat out admitted to his bias and likely didn't realize it.
What he and Edge and the rest may not realize is that, ironically, their vids contribute to the measurement of DSC's overall "popularity", as estimated by groups like Parrot Analysis.
So I say, keep on keeping on, guys.
Pretty much. The longer the videos the more ads that can be placed. Though I have to wonder if their videos lately have been demonetized a lot. They used a LOT stills and images in their Discovery videos. Lately though they've noticed there is money to be made by catering to the same crowd ME and DC does. It's part of why they switched to doing live streams. When they reinforced those negative feelings in real time they get more money it seems and it becomes a cycle. They're worse now compared to how they were several months ago.
This is why I agree with KennyB that it should stay a hobby.
Trek's Info Wars
Making money off someone else's IP..........just seem like leeches.
Doomcock, Midnights Edge, Trekyards et al, they're all on a spectrum of shit.
Fantasy rumour mills fed by the lunatic fringe who would benefit more from care in the community than the frantic clicks from the fans who nerdgasm at every post proclaiming the end of Trek.
I am not a fan in case it isn't clear.

It suddenly occurs to me that any of us could do similar to Doomcook or Midnight's Bread and make some YouTube $$$. We wouldn't even have to really hate Discovery, just say what haters want to hear - which we've all heard enough of to know by rote.
Now I'm wondering if they really do hate Discovery, or if they're geniuses manipulating idiots into clicks

Yeah, it's hard to go wrong just letting someone with an informed opinion talk on camera. How'd these douches score that?
