Several times a day, every day. I hate the ones that sucker you in, somehow. I follow the link fully expecting an article, and it's just a video embedded in some site.
But, also the articles that tease the point. It could be two paragraphs, but the writer is apparently paid by the word, so you need to skim two-thirds of the article to get there.
Just as annoying as the fact i have to watch a fucking 15 minute youtube garbage video with obnoxious musc just to get a tutorial that could have been written into 3 sentences.
Dude never would I ever have dreamed I'd yearn for the days of 2 minute videos with notepad being used to communicate but here we are.
BANDICAM AND NOTE PAD YEEEEE BUDDY
That's what the "most rewatched" graph on the scrubber is for.
And if it's an X link I take a little detour to block the poster as well.
I'm glad I'm not the only one!
Unpopular opinion I know, but I don't hate YouTube.
I don't either, but the chances of me being interested in watching the video being posted are close to zero.
There are dozens of us. Dozens!
There are some information that are best transmitted via video, some through audio, and others by text.
Yes. And peertube is still a work in progress.
But even among the proprietary video platforms, YouTube is the worst, lately.
YouTube used to be the only one with any kind of stream resilience, but that's long solved.
I prefer to stick to anything that doesn't now spend billions to make the experience worse, at least.
Me anytime someone links a gamers nexus entry.
Holy shit is GN boring. Without fail he'll make me fall asleep whilst he repeats his points over and over. And some of his "journalism" is so rough I just want to shake him and make him go back to school.
Repeating the same single points over and over does make your case and sure you might be right on some stuff using this technique but it doesn't make you right on other things.
