People do that shit with YouTube too.

Me: "I'm looking for resources on this technology."

Them: "Here watch this 1 hour YouTube video from a random influencer who you can trust. Just ignore his ads to buy crypto."

    Or stuff like

    Me- mentions in passing that I have a chronic illness

    Them- watch this 2 hour rambling video about a completely different condition and you'll be cured

    Me- no, that would be like telling a paraplegic to watch a video about diabetes and then they'll no longer be paralyzed

    Them- I was just trying to help, you just want to be in pain for the pity party

    Yes! Why is it like this? I hate when people tell me to watch some video essay on a disorder - like why the fuck am I listening to some random person on youtube with no credibility??

    Me: "I've gotten so bad at retaining focus when watching a video that it's sometimes difficult to even finish songs"

    Them: "this 3 hour lecture by Professor Bland and this 5 hour Fortnite stream session from Immortal Wombat have some good tips!"
