I've been considering quitting YouTube outright and replacing it with random anime. Part of me thinks this is a smart move, the other part feels like it's dumb. Either side is deeply autistic in its reasoning. I don't like how random YouTube is, getting home from work and suddenly you're watching an hour long video on the history of telegraph poles, followed by some random jazz fusion albums, followed by fast paced snippets from some loser's wacky stream. I had no idea this stuff would make up my evening and take up my free time, it gives me a fucking headache just having all of this disconcordant information forced into my head. Then you try a Watch Later list and that gets bigger and bigger and it's this utter chore looking back at you. I don't care if watching yet another romcom seasonal is immature, at least I know what I'm getting into each time and there's an illusion of "progress" involved where you can move on when it's all over. I'm not even taking the holier than thou route of picking up a manly hobby that'll totally fix my problems and have me knee deep in clunge, I just want to escape the void of content creation and be in control again. Am I the only one who feels this way?
