I’m sorry, do you have a TLDR for your comment? ;)
Am kidding of course. I appreciate your examples and I do understand some have legitimate issues with long format media. However I was speaking in quite broad brushstrokes and still feel the general tenor of attention spans have gotten shorter and shorter. TikTok is but one example. Twitter is another. There are certainly more examples, but I won’t belabor the point. We’ve come a long way from the bards having to memorize entire stories. I do appreciate your comment.
38 minutes is too long? What a world we have when folks cannot pay attention longer than a tiktok vid. Perhaps that isn’t you, but I cringe that we have to think about that. No offense intended.
TC is a treasure, btw. Go back and view some of his other content. Not too long ago I watched his dishwasher video as I had just installed a new one. I learned quite a lot and I assumed I knew most things about them. He also explains things so thoroughly that my mother was able to follow along and appreciate the information. His demeanor helps as well. Love the guy. Thanks for the post!
You can do it! Just futz around with Lemmy on your phone whilst casually watching. Then you can say you did it. That’s how I handled it. I barely remember the shitshow now.
A couple of years ago I tried talking to him about branching out with his information sources. It obviously did not work. Nothing that president Musk and his lackey trump are doing would appear to affect him (yet) so there’s zero empathy for anyone who is.
I’d love to shake him loose from this, but I don’t really know how. I don’t have much skill in breaking cult worship.
On the scale of who is fucking up the world more, I’d have to award the trophy to Leon. Certainly fuck Nestle, but won’t someone please rid us of this meddlesome billionaire?
Well, I did the same. After a year or so, I checked back in and I think he toned it down (unless I am missing any rant vids that might happen). I still like some of what he does as long as he keeps politics out so I got very selective. I will still watch tool teardown vids or something, but I don't watch any of his fireside chats as I now know his worldview is skewed in the wrong direction.
Despite that, he is still a very knowledgeable guy so I try and glean what I can that has actual value. That value now is certainly LESS than prior to him unveiling his conservative thoughts.
Indeed. Instead they will cost us dearly.
