is it annoying that they’re pushing this new feature? yes. however, when i just keep on scrolling, i guess the algorithm just craps out and gives me a video of a guy doing sketch comedy that he filmed on an old android phone that has 2 likes. it makes me miss that era of the internet where monetization was never a concern and people felt they could share themselves unapologetically

I loathe short-form videos (tik-tok, IG reels, etc.). Every time I'm lured into watching one, I feel like I'm stuck in an episode of black mirror or starring in a clockwork orange. I can feel my attention span getting chiseled away with every vacuous second - and don't even get me started on the endless echo of copies and references.
Okay, I'm done with my old person rant now.

Several years ago I changed my preferences across all my google accounts to diminish the effects of anything being recommended to me by algorithms. I thought it would be good for me, I’d have to search things out instead of having them force fed. I was wrong, I forgot how to do all of that and now I just wind up on the trending page several times a day. It’s really depressing but I also find it interesting. I know a lot about Mr Beast now. It’s not exactly news, or even generally useful most of the time, but it’s something. I watch drama videos about “creators” I have never heard of before, tons of “we’re having a baby” videos and “we broke up” videos. It’s horrible and I hate it, but I also feel closer to what humans are like nowadays.

i stopped doing it because i was so unmotivated. now i feel like im at a place where thats a possibility to do again in a sporadic way
and while im trying to reduce/eliminate my use of google as a whole, i feel more justified to use it because its like 10% of their business and so many people make their money with it through their own ventures and content

i get why people only think of movies as a social event, but seeing a movie in a theater alone is the most freeing and therapeutic thing that i do in my day to day life.
gone are the moments of trying to pick something that you think a group of people would like. gone is the anxiety of always thinking about what your friend is thinking of the movie as it’s going on. it’s just you and the movie. i love it

i’m tired to hiding my love for the perfect fast food sandwich. it’s the filet o fish. they make it fresh every time. it’s 4 subpar ingredients on their own, but assemble them together and you have a delicious sandwich.
