Ok, can I just complain about what has just clicked to me that it's actually a full on trend with youtube thumbnails?

Fucking sick of the pointing arrow with "winner?" every fucking time there's anything that involves any kind of competition these days

Saw it a little, thought it was dumb, but it's becoming more and more and more common and... and I'm not even that mad at the people who do it cause I get it, but fuck I'm sick of it and fuck I'm kinda sick of... of if it's working the people who have shiny brain and click cause oh! must find out, or if it's not working the youtube algorithm for I guess making it seem like it work

Actually I suppose I just am fucking tired of the whole culture that leads to it in the first place of fucking gotta have jingling keys at all time, gotta fucking consume, always need something to consume

Fuck man, I'm almost glad that some days like the past couple I've just kind of sat around in malaise, bored out of my mind while not being able get myself to do anything I wanted or find anything that was entertaining... but like, fuck, I think I'd rather get like that sometimes but know how to just sit through it than have to have new content every second of every day or else

(And this isn't a straw man and this isn't railing against the youth or something, I know a dude that's like that who is a bit older than I am)

"Winner?", man, just fucking pitch me what's happening and I'll watch it or not

#also youtube has a totally fucked view of what I like these days #no; I don't care for that franchise; I'm watching someone I like watching play something from it #no; I don't just want to watch random people in this genre; I've go specific people I really like #no; I kinda fucking hate that game; I just like watching some specific people do weird shit in it #and that's all my fucking dash is and it sucks; sometimes they even mix two of these buckets and it's like... that's just no but twice #unrelated but I really do need to blow my brains out already #that's just more of the same depression from the past two days; but it also would mean I didn't have to deal with this #there's just so many places society has gotten so fucking stupid; and honestly I blame older people at least as much as the youth #everyone's such a fucking consumer whore; specifically around shit like 'content'#also my chronic cough has been acting up #don't ask me what causes it; I can't even get an infection cured in a concrete verifiable place #you think I'll ever be able to get the to help me figure out why I have this cough that just kinda happens sometimes #or something like why I still smell sinus kinds of smells a lot of the time despite having had antibiotics (for the lingering infection)#but the cough is annoying cause it's been compulsive #if it wasn't a think I'm just used to I'd be worried I'd caught covid or something but it feels like the chronic cough #like... the way I cough with it; it doesn't feel like coughs from when I'm sick #...I don't know; I think this is the first time I've ever actually mentioned it anywhere outside my own head
