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!)

It seems I find a bunch of new videos I want to share every month so let me break it down for you here --It all started with this guy who has parking his car in his ultra tiny apartment down to an exact science and this guy landing a paper airplane onto the tram.Moving on from there, I watched some guy get a 1928 Model A running again, which led me down a path of āAbandoned ____, will it run?ā-YouTube. Everything from old planes to cars and trucks. After a few SteveMREās inspired by Leiaās recs, I found a new favorite nook of YouTube - DeWayne from Dry Creek Wranglinā School. Heās just an older āwranglerā living out in Texas, making YouTube videos on his iPhone XR a subscriber recommended. Sometimes heās chattin with a cigar, going over the rules of wearing cowboy hats, while other times heās teaching you how to buy a horse. I donāt need any of the advice he gives in my daily life, but I just cant get enough of his drawl as he goes on passionately about saddle rifles, trail etiquette, and his ātime clockā on life. His is the only YouTube channel Iāve actually clicked the bell to let me know when thereās a new video to queue up.

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, IKEAās 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 associationā¦ a spiraling descent into hypnosis by way of information overloadā¦ flashes of sound and image that felt like distant cousins of the Ludovico techniqueā¦ and low keyā¦ i will almost certainly go back for more
