Oh no, I will have to do something useful with my time instead of watching 100 videos after each other. WHAT WILL I DO

figuring out who you are isn’t specifically career related. it’s whoever you are. the focus here is doing/being authentic. authenticity isn’t a passive activity.

What comments like this fail to understand is that people sometimes like to do nothing with their free time.
YouTube became as popular as it is because it fulfilled a necessity, for good or bad

there are other options available for entertainment, like tubi and pluto.

You know, not all of us watch bullshit on YouTube. There is good science and engineering content on there.

If you’re primarily interested in the science and engineering content, nebula is a wonderful platform where membership fees directly support content creators.
