Thanks for saving me those 10 minutes! :-DD

I should start a go-fundme where y'all could donate, say, 45 seconds or something.

And here I was hoping for actually EXPLOSIVE chips. Bah!

communist countries, their #1 export is propaganda. china has a massive corruption problem in their semiconductor industry.
Chen Jin claiming a 200MIPS DSP when in fact it was a Freescale DSP56800 part with the numbers rubbed off.
China Integrated Circuit Industry Investment Fund over $50B poured in by the State. They have produced nothing decent so far.
The ongoing "Big Fund" scandal, arrests of fund top executives Ding Wenwu, investment firm Sino IC Capital; around 4 people seem to have been on corruption charges and disappeared. Unigroup went bankrupt.
It's too bad you can't throw a pile of money at a technology and still not have successfully copied it.

Reply #3, the other thing is to ignore videos which lack a detailed text description, if they won't say in text in detail what the video is about it isn't likelyto be about anything worth seeing. If the text description is lacking or nothing but sponsorship links thatis a bad sign.

FWIW, I think the ratio is actually better than that. And it gets better if you give the algorithm feedback. It won’t eliminate the crap, but it will reduce it.
The thing that bothers me about YouTube more now is the grotesque advertising behavior (both the amount and things like holding off on midreel ads until you interact with it, like pausing or rewinding). I get enough value out of YouTube (I watch more stuff on it than on Netflix) to justify paying for Premium, but at this point I refuse, because I feel like that would be giving in to a bully. 🤣 So instead I spend the money on merch from really good channels.
What I am absolutely certain about is that, particularly for documentary and educational content, the best of YouTube is better than practically anything network TV has ever made. (Even more so now that the network “educational” channels have all devolved into purveyors of garbage reality TV… I mean, if 20 years ago you’d told me that the History Channel would be carrying “Swamp People”, I’d have thought you were pulling my leg…) YouTube would do well to bring back the “dislike” display, so that one can easily identify low quality content before investing much time.

I begrudge my time more than I begrudge small amounts of money. The strength and weakness of yootoob is that anybody can upload their stuff - and all too many people do. That just as true for blogs etc, but as plainname notes, speed reading is much faster.
