I’m cleaning my “Watch Later” playlist on YouTube, and I was surprised by the fact that I’m removing 95% of the videos on it. I look at a lot of it and it’s just… Trash, churned out not because it’s a thing that should exist but because it’s written by somebody who wants to be successful as a creative. I’m talking cooking videos, low-effort video essays, Age of Empires casts, and so on.

Was I the kind of person who liked this sort of thing at some point? I’m glad I’ve grown, sure, but… Euuuch.
