I dreamed last night about finding a playlist of 55 or so videos published by some probably 30-something white guy from the suburban USA around 2011. The playlist was titled something like “various rants”, but really these videos weren’t “rants” at all, they were 5~12 minute videos of this guy just being overwhelmingly and infectiously positive rambling about all his frivolous hobbies, mainly anime, video games, and Nerf guns. He seemed autistic if I’m being honest.

Now on the one hand, it feels kind of pathetic to be dreaming about wasting an hour or two on watching old YouTube reviews, 'cause that’s like three layers of unreality… But on the other hand, I kind of wish this YouTuber was real. So if you know any old YouTubers matching this description, please send them to me.

    Well shit, now I’m crying.

    vibe killer

    The recommended video that popped up immediately after this was “Actors Who Stood Up To Woke Hollywood” with a thumbnail of Chris Pratt on some talk show with the text “f*ck your pronouns”. Jesus Christ, YouTube, read the room!
