watching un-ai-able youtube videos

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!)

Several channels

off the menu: exploring food history and origins
storied: made by PBS but has lots of interesting videos on monsters, mythology and linguistics
tierzoo: educational videos about animals in the context of gaming
answer in progress: answering questions you've thought about (or haven't and now you need to know the answer)

- YouTube

i actually really love the ted-ed vids, they're pretty educational and the designs are always great. A few other favorites of mine are aperture, fern, and hoog.

Being a snob about certain things

it’s called being discerning and it’s a dying art….

Scrolling through your own posts

so true and so right… see also looking through your notes app, going through your camera roll, and re reading your own diary.
