When did YouTube turn into QVC for millennials and zoomers?

Everytime i use YouTube on a new device or browser its always the same people on the front page.

Facts.

In my office, I cast YouTube from my phone to a Chromecast. When I exit a video, it just takes me to the generic YouTube app homepage, without being logged in.

Damn near everything is reaction videos. Either Mr Beast, or SSSniperWolf. What's crazy is that it makes it clear that they use the same couple of thumbnails for the dumb YouTube Face on all their videos.

all I know is raid: shadow legends gotta have a billion dollar advertising budget
That game actually threw a heavy stack at a few streamers to play it. A streamer called fightincowboy joked during an Elden Ring stream that if Raid thew him $20k, he'd do livestreams of it.

Guess what happened? They straight up gave him the big bag and sponsored him.

When YouTube became a job it was all over. These days most of the people in the same space can't even differentiate their videos. They all come out at the same time for some embargoed product and the YouTuber says the stock company talking points. They can't say too much or they'll damage their relationship with what ever brand gives them their free products they say they weren't paid to review yet get to keep.

This is just so blatant with car reviews.

Like comment and subscribe. I haven't even watched yet you out here suggesting shyt.

But yeah OP, you're right I find tech reviews mostly awful.
Tech reviews are terrible but those random ads promoting new businesses are bad too. Feel like disconnecting like the car from the center years back did. Just stay off the internet.

When youtube kept changing monetization and the algorithms. More importantly when corporations got real copyright/infringement happy
