Guy's never heard of Youtube smuglord

There's an infinite amount of channels doing videos on every imaginable hyperspecific niche interest now, you will never run out

Just sit down and let the algorithm smooth your brain. blob-no-thoughts

What's this? A guy comparing how the design and anatomy of the various species in the Oddworld franchise has changed across games in 25+ years? Well I know how I'm spending my next half hour

search for something on youtube

five results vagely related to what you were searching for

youtube: okay we're done with that. now here are videos you've seen eighty times before that have nothing to do with what you searched for
