I wouldn’t consider myself someone who spends a lot of time on YouTube. I’ll watch the occasional linked video, perhaps some movie trailers, or a music video. Every so often (that is more and more recently with all the extra time on my hands), I will go down a YouTube rabbit hole watching videos of […]
