A rant about the unnatural selection of knitting YouTube (the algorithm)

Today I'm sharing some frustrations I've been having with knitting content, social media algorithms, and online creator culture in general. I want to get it all out at once so we can go back to my regularly scheduled (generally) positive crafty videos. This isn't a criticism of viewers or individual creators. Instead, it's a discussion about the incentives that platforms create and the kinds of content they tend to reward. ❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊❊ Thank you to everyone who has joined me on Patreon. I have been absolutely blown away by how kind and creative everybody is! I hope you never step on a lego and your sweaters never pill.
