Had this running in the background during my work day to keep me awake via general despair but always great long form content.

I guess we should never say never (like maybe generative AI will be able to make all sorts of videos in a couple years but let's not think too much about that :P), but I'm glad to reduce my intake of easily generated content like street interviews, gaming streams (which I was never into anyway), or like "20 locations you're NEVER allowed to go" listicle videos, and to increase my intake of stuff like "watch me renovate this dilapidated house over 40 weeks", "I traveled from San Francisco to Seattle using only public transit: Day 1", "here's the life story of this person whose grave I found in a forgotten cemetery in the middle of the woods in rhode island", etc. I love a really longform video where I'm like "there's no way to get AI to make this for you"
(video examples are from Tia Weston, AdamDoesNotExist, and Dime Store Adventures, respectively!)

And other things the YT altgorithm does in middle of the night to snatch you from the jaws of ad-blocked sleep. Everything I know about urban sprawl, buccal fat removal, Sergei Ponomarenko, ulexite, Microsoft interview logic puzzle questions, Klein bottles, Constantinople, IKEA’s 2024 catalogue (10 best new products), the core-ification of everything, the mysteries of the Wallace Line, and deep-sea sharks I learned in a borderline fugue state between the hours of 2 and 4 am, under a strange spell of free association… a spiraling descent into hypnosis by way of information overload… flashes of sound and image that felt like distant cousins of the Ludovico technique… and low key… i will almost certainly go back for more

this is probably my favorite acc on youtube and the video essays are really good for people who need short bursts of extreme mental stimulation. intensity is high but the barrier to entry is low - there are video essays about everything from 18th century philosophy to nickelodeon’s victorious!!!! linking my fav one to recommend people which is about spirited away

currently being a bit more financially responsible and finding that the only way for me to stay on top of things is to know my daily budget and actually write it down and see the numbers with my own eyes, because numbers don't mean shit to me otherwise
