I think almost everything on YT is consumption porn of some sort. It's short clips/vids with the relevant subjects equivalent of porno moaning - food influencers groaning about the cheese pull or the crumb shot, mechanics hooting about performance car parts, gun guys jizzing their pants over the newest elephant gun that shoots a caliber larger than a Foster's beer oil can.

It's all maximized for oohs and aaaahs, everything has to be slick AF, and ready to be ogled appropriately. YouTube is a net negative for us as humans. The positives are well outweighed by the downsides.

At least I found out why when I grew up the Girl Scout cookies tasted better. It turns out where I live currently has the regional monopoly of the bad cookie producer and not the good one

such an arc of the development of youtube content in the microcosm of one man. i remember when the channel was a few months old and it was just a guy in his kitchen taking a crack at nonsense foods dreamed up by hollywood writers.
