“No, you can’t ride your bike indoors, moron.”

Now is not the time to use that.

Hi

Have some dog ASMR

San Francisco's new overpass park: https://weather.com/news/trending/video/new-san-francisco-park-lies-above-busy-highway-tunnel

Can someone explain why “YouTuber blandly reads Reddit posts” is a channel format that’s both popular and monetized?

Oh yeah. And then proceed to offer like 30 seconds of commentary as if they actually have something to say.

that's even worse than the TTS reads /r/askreddit

at least with that it could be somewhat interesting to listen to

Simple sells I guess lol

If you can hit that 5 second attention span that we're used to now haha

You're good to go

5 is overestimating. I’d say the average is more like 2.25.

True. I'll admit I'm subscribed to at least one of those kind of channels

True to Golden, I meant

TikTok is proof of this, unfortunately

Man even I can't deny I get stuck in thr YouTube short rabbit hole before bed

It's just soo.. Quick and easy

Eh, it's harmless- whatever gets folks that serotonin, I guess

True

But firetruck it when I get shown horror shit before bed

"this case makes me sick"
Shows a murder case and pictures

Like yes I'm very interested in that but not at 1am

Valid point; I just wish long form entertainment got appreciation

God dude for some reason I ONLY want to watch that shit at night lol I don't even know why.

Haha legit

There's plenty of it out there that's successful; like talking YT, video essays, and the like. Just gotta look for it

It’s like TV. I see the value in short that don’t waste your time, I just find a good movie to be way more enjoyable.

Or a good single player game over something like Fall Guys.

Yep yep

You gotta hunt for it but there's so much content out there that you're bound to find your niche

Yeah so much that it’s overwhelming
