This was from back in the day when I thought that YouTube was useless because it was just a bunch of young idiots filming themselves being idiots (which it mostly was). It took another six years before I finally started watching YouTube beyond the occasional animal viral video that made the news, and another year after that before I actually started subscribing to any channels. Then things really “popped off” as the kids would say, and I ended up subscribing to over 1,500 channels (I don’t know for sure since YouTube’s export function breaks past 1,000), and spending literally all day watching 40+ hours of 100-200 videos per day (at 2×-4× speed). I’ve been trying to cull my subscriptions and watch less in the past year.
