YouTube will now direct you to the right first-aid videos during an emergency | Searching YouTube for advice on CPR, heart attacks, or other critical health emergencies will now highlight authorita…::A YouTube shelf of first-aid advice for acute health emergencies from legit sources is now set up to provide advice on topics like heart attack, CPR, choking, or stroke.
Before our Top 5 most important CPR steps, a quick word from our sponsor, BetterHealth.
Times are hard, and you might be sad. BetterHealth is here for you, with overpriced and underqualified ‘therapists’ whose job it is to sit down and talk to very sad people about why and how they are sad, for hours upon hours, for little pay. Whats even better is there is basically no chance that this will occur to you, that basically our service is just a call center staffed by underpaid and overworked employees or contractors, because you are a sad person who uses therapy from a phone app, as you are likely too jaded to actually talk to anyone face to face and too exhausted to do any critical thinking. Sign up today and dont forget, or maybe dont remember to cancel the automatic subscription we willnsign you up for. And dont worry, theres no way for you to verify the actual integrity, track record, or any possible malpractice claims against our therapists because, well, only paranoid people check such things, and only truly crazy people cannot be helped by our dedicated call center slaves. Better Health. For your Health!
ALRIGHT YOUTUBERS its time for CPR step 1:
Don’t waste any time in ensuring the victim’s airway is not obstructed…
Step 2: compressions. Don’t forget to push that like button like the chest of the victim!
Step 3: Breath into the mouth, just like everyone breathing life into that comment section!
Also exactly what I would expect from a YouTube video with 8 billion views on this topic at this point, bravo!
Remember to join my Patron, YouTube Membership to get exclusive perks. Also, I have a Kofi for those who want to support me!
Meanwhile the video shows animation made by AI, looking like the Will Smith eating spaghetti ones.
Before we really begin here are the 10 most dangerous anti-patterns in first aid. Number 3 will shock you with a defibrillator.
Fucking gold, perfect.
Make sure you like and subscribe if you saved a life today.
You forgot about a background about CPR, it’s uses then proceed a whole essay about its history, then eventually reaching to the main point but explained in the most vague way possible. It’s also probably narrated by an AI.
Hey guys! It’s me EverydayCPRTips back again with an exciting video on how to perform life saving CPR. Before we get started, don’t forget to compress that like button and breathe some love into that bell so you can be notified anytime I release a new video. Leave a comment below if you’d like to see any other life saving techniques!
If only there could’ve been a way to know if a video is helpful and worthwhile or not at a glance…
I mean could we sort the results by likes/dislikes? I don’t remember that being a thing but maybe I am misremembering. Like usually it was “relevancy” whatever is that or views.
So yeah you could ignore from the result the ones with a lot of disliked but I don’t think we had other than that.
Of course they could have implemented that as well.
Remember that Youtube works specifically on engagement, which is why everyone gets thrown down the right-wing rabbit hole automatically. They disabled the downvote because it meant less ad revenue for Google since there were videos that people weren’t watching.
Dislikes are no longer publicly visible, unless you use an extension (which would use mostly crowdsourced or interpolated data). There are extensions that show the likes/dislikes before clicking the video, but you cannot sort by it.
I know I meant when they were visible. That I don’t think sorting by it was a thing.
A long time ago when they used the 1-5 star system, I think it was
Oh yeah the star system I forgot about that.
Yeah, because thumbs up and down has never ever led to shitty content.
Highlighting actual experts is a far better system.
We should have some faith in our official institution but were all human. If anything being an expert can make people more prone to serious mistakes because of bias.
Its in everyone interested for the public to speak up fast if official information is wrong or dangerous.
The downvote thing is an old issue though. I actually see many other problems but believe it will still end up a net plus.
My main concern is who choses the expert? Will it be a local one? in the users own language? Or will YouTube hire their own experts to make these videos themselves.
What do they do if doctors cant agree on a best method but multiple methods have videos online?

So like, were you actually living in an isolated Afghanistan cave in the first year (fuck even now) of COVID?

Or, you know, you could do both :o
lol yet here you are participating in a system that you apparently think is shitty lol
Am I asking you for medical advice? Strange. I thought I was reading 90% shit posts.
And here I am reading troll posts. Too bad.
But will it still play an ad before the video?
- 2 unskippable pre rolls that advertise drugs to treat the causes of the emergency condition
- 5 minute long explanation of the creator’s life story
- 1 minute long subscription beg
- 2 extended sponsor breaks with awkward segues
- first 30 seconds of content
- patient is dead
SMASH LIKE AND SUBSCRIBE AND HIT THE BELL
Better install Sponsorblock
As a person with YouTube Premium I am angered that I still need to install 3rd party extension to block this shit. These should be skipped automatically, since content creators get more money from Premium viewers anyway.

I’m laughing out loud imagining someone trying to give CPR and having to watch two Crest commercials and an ad for the new F150
Put yourself in the dark mind of an unethical marketer:
“Sure, the Ford F-150 may be pricey, but you may be coming into an inheritance soon. Your loved one would want you to have the best. Come down to your local Ford dealer and check out the new F-150 Lariat.”
And if you’re on Firefox, will it still add that forced 5-second delay while loading the page?
Yeah one of those 30 minutes ads there used to be (not sure any more I have premium & ad block).
Imagine having an adblocker, and still paying for premium for whatever reason.
Music. App wise and all that I prefer Spotify but YouTube Music has everything, officially and not officially by somebody uploaded a video, plus you can upload your own mp3 files if something is missing.
Also in the beginning of the subscription I had a work provided iPhone so it was nice to not see ads there.
I don’t have premium anymore, but back when I did, I got it to better support the channels I watched since I believe they got more revenue from the views of subscribers than people watching the ads.
Which you can watch after 5 ads /s
why /s?
It’s kind of funny how the enshittification of YouTube (and Google searches) is so bad, and so widely recognized, that YouTube giving the results you asked for—IF you’re having a medical emergency—is considered newsworthy.
Also consider how long YouTube has been around and under the control of Google. And this is just happening. Why wasn’t this done 10 years ago…
Ad free, right?
RIGHT?!
Is there any better place for hospital/coffin ads?
“ tilt the head, to ensure the air way is open. Before we get to compressions, it’s a good time to remind you that this CPR video is sponsored by RAID: shadow legends…“
I’m not sure how I feel about the authorities being alerted. What if someone is kinda bored and is looking for videos for educational use.
Edit: ok I read the headline wrong. Oops
I may be reading it wrong but this is just not what the article says.
By “highlight authoritative sources” they mean display credible videos made by the authorities at the very top of the search results.
And within the article you’ll read that one of the first instructions given in said videos is to call an emergency service, and not that youtube is going to do it for you
Where does it say that? The article only mentions authoritative videos, which means they have been made or approved by authorities, not that watching the videos will interact with them in any way.
slow clap
Baby steps towards a return of curated truthful content? Nah, just CYA so they don’t get sued.
Nothing 911 could tell you on the phone and would be faster…
Visual video reference. 911 could also tell me how to change my oil but a video is a lot easier
i mean yeah for sure, take your time in an emergency and watch the video first
Guess it’s better than making me sit through an ad first, but is this really that big of news otherwise?
What? The free market doesn’t just work?
