This happens to me fairly often, along with already thumbs’d up youtube videos.
And you find an old comment you wrote, and it feels like someone else wrote it because surely you don’t talk like that!
YouTube is a massive offender IMO.
I browse YT more than I probably should, and the number of times I’ve seen the same video recommended, sometimes even the same day, is far too high. I have watched and rewatched videos again and again because YT puts them into the auto-play crap, and I forgot to turn that off and feel asleep on the couch while it was playing something unrelated.
YT also seems to get aggro about making sure I watch some videos. Like, there’s some creators that put out some really good stuff usually, but when they put out a video I genuinely don’t care about the subject of, then I avoid that video. But it’s always in my recommended videos, and usually first in line on any auto-play on YT for weeks. It’s like, I’ve passed over this video 50 times, but you think I’m suddenly going to find interest in this topic on the 51st time you show me that the video exists?
The algorithm is stupid.
I swear its gotten worse lately with re-recommending already watched videos
Ah yes, I love reading stuff and piping the infornation straight to the void.
cat /dev/random > /dev/null
A pipe would be: cat /dev/random | tee /dev/null
At least there’s one huge benefit of forgetting stories so you can watch the same movie, read the same book, read the same comic pretty often.
In exchange your life sucks in every way. lol
I’m at the point where I prefer to rewatch shows or movies, and reread books, rather than try something new. The closest I can think to describe it is like slipping into a warm bath. Very cosy.
Lately, I’ve been working though my film library picking a film from each letter of the alphabet. It encourages me to watch something new, or at least something I may not have seen in the last decade - because it could be a while before I loop back around, so I don’t want to throw away the letter!
