Agreed. Automotive repair is a big exception to my video tutorial hatred. It just makes more sense as it's something being worked on in 3 dimensions. It would probably work well for home improvement stuff as well.

I watch a ton of YouTube. I love it for entertainment and some news. I absolutely hate YouTube for tutorials or guides though. If I'm trying to figure out how to fix a computer issue, I just want to read about it and have screenshots I can look at. I don't want to have to constantly pause a damn video or scroll back and forth to find info.

As far as tiktok style videos go I just hate everything about them. I hate the auto play, I hate the vertical aspect ratio, I hate the stupid auto voiceovers, I hate the dumb floating captions and comments overlay, I hate the lack of volume adjustment or the ability to pause and rewind or seek. I hate the types of brainrot content that people make to work the algorithm. I hate that the format has infested YouTube and IG with no real way to be rid of it.

My problem with tiktok/reels/shorts is not that they aren't federated. It's the entire format/concept I hate.

Playing tennis.

In jr high I had some friends who played football say my other friends and I on the tennis team were gay for playing tennis.

I had to point out to them that the tennis team was co-ed and we regularly made out with our female teammates on the long bus rides to tournaments.

While those on the football team were constantly manhandling each other, showering together and slapping each other on the ass to say "good game." But the tennis team are the gay ones?

They got mad, but dropped it.

Oh yeah, I have noticed that the virtual desktop switching on windows 11 sucks. It's extra shitty if you set a different wallpaper for each one.

When teams is just doing chat things, it's fine. But the fact that it's the only program that doesn't remember which monitor it is supposed to be on, and never remembers the show on all desktop settings, drives me insane. Not to mention that it seems to restart itself multiple time per day and makes me fix its location each time.

MC Frontalot.

These AI corps really are determined to unnecessarily ham fist "AI" into everything, whether it makes sense or not.

When you have a new shiny hammer, everything looks like a nail.

I could never get into 3D "dungeon crawler" games that entirely take place in dungeons. I like open worlds where I can discover dungeons and caves to explore.

I think It's the maze like endless aspect of dungeon crawlers that I dislike. I need breaks to see the virtual sky.

Or you could just lean into your mental health issues and try TempleOS.

I was once on a Greyhound bus where a guy was loudly talking on his phone, but not on speaker. The issue was he was just repeatedly saying:

"Listen....... Listen..... Listen.... Listen... Lemme tell you.... Listen... Listen .... Listen lemme.... Lemme tell you .. listen"

For half an hour.

Finally a hero yelled out: "Listen! Lemme tell you to shut the fuck up!"

He said "lemme call you back later" hung up and shrunk down on his seat as the whole bus clapped.

I can't be the only person who instinctively trusts a product/brand less the more I see ads for it.

The biggest example is alcohol brands. It's almost guaranteed that the more advertising a brand does, the more middle-low quality is. (There will always be the ultra-cheap option with no marketing of course.)

It's mind boggling to me that in this modern interconnected era that this isn't obvious to everybody.
