Youtube is Shopping TV of the 80s

Think about it. A massive chunk of YouTube content is “Includes Paid Promotion”. These are product reviews, often with a direct link to a store.

How does this differ from Shopping TV from the 80s or the 90s?

YouTube is not full of creators. It is full of telemarketers.
