So I ask - Do you ever feel isolated or alone because of your interests vs. what is pushed in the popular main stream?

Not in any negative sense, but I'm pretty individualistic by nature. I do realize that what I like and will even tolerate is outside of most people's range.

Yet that content that explodes is the guy doing the commentary saying "bruh that paint job fire doe! Fuck I crashed bruh loloolol! bruh I drive like a boomer dooo!". I can't make this up.

When I browse for interesting/funny things on youtube, a tremendous amount of time I end up closiing the video immediately because the guy ends up pissing me off in under a second. Usually with some "zany" greeting or the like.

"Reaction videos" are a blight on humanity too.

Edit: I'll add, for all the horseshit on youtube, there's some great stuff.

Townsends is a good example. He has a 'gimmick' I guess, but he's tremendously soft-spoken and interesting, and seems to honestly enjoy not just "making content for youtube" but doing the very thing he likes, which happens to be figuring out what someone in the 1800s ate a bar or the like.

The Coding Train is run by a guy who I thought was a flat out flaming homosexual (he is not, even if he's a leftist SJW sort), and - while he definitely has a, uh, quirky personality, it's mostly an expression of his apparent legitimate love for what he covers.

I suppose the thing to keep in mind is a lot of people are idiots or children and so long as both are numerous, count on shit content being made.
