My new love of a daily rant. Today it’s People broadcasting their inane lives on YouTube. Why the need? I don’t care and I find it self absorbed at best.
My kids watch that shit and I’m like why do you wanna sit around watching some guy making stupid noises and waffling about his protein intake. I am deffo old.
Why is everything a fucking video with commentary? I don't need a 30 minute podcast full of chit chat about their stupid lives. Give me s good article with facts that i can skim in 5 minutes!

I believe that YouTube pays video creators better than other websites do textual content creators.
Okay, I'm 50+ and hate talk radio, general chit chat vlogging stuff.
But I now listen to two guys talk about anime because I got into it during lockdowns. No one my age wants to watch/ talk about it. I feel very "hello, fellow kids" if I try to find current fans.
So I listen to these guys discuss the things I've been thinking about. The story, the artwork, whatever. It scratches that itch and I'm not bothering anyone.
They sometimes discuss their lives. But it's mainly anime chit-chat. And I can skip ahead on the ones I don't watch.
I don’t dislike discussion, support, tutorials etc. it’s the boring ones who are famous for just recording their day, or the ones that do nothing but shout. Oh the the ones that repeat old mysteries etc and put the stupid suspenseful voices on.
I sound extra old. I just can’t stand grifters.
I dont know what they are watching, but some Youtubers are authentic and genuine, something they we dont see at all in other controlled mediums.
Some people makes videos to get support for some issue, others to give support for some issue. I like those genuine Youtubers who talk about their emotions and society.
Sounds like your kid are into weight training and thats not such a bad thing. Its good for confidence to build a strong body and gets them away from scrolling on phones for a while.
They are but the amount of repeat content and pure boring waffle is astounding. It’s the boring life stuff. My kids are as bad for watching. Get out and live your life. Not listen to self absorbed airhead who are hero’s in their own heads.
