Yes I love watching Big Clive Dot Com take apart and explain various electronic devices even though I only have a rudimentary understanding of such things https://youtu.be/0o0emBQfeL0?si=KwMyJdDlPblD6Jf7

There is a multiseason "narrowboat" show i got vortexed into.

Did not fathom britains insanely complex and large canal system, what narrowboats were, but im in. Endless slow moving footage. The intricacies of the etiquette, the local canal maintenance differences, sounds, amenities, culture, ah

This sounds like a great video niche to get sucked into!

The “watch me renovate this French chateau/Portuguese farm/Italian stone hut “ videos suck me in. Fun to watch but way too much work for me!

Exactly, like fascinating but also I would never commit to that!

My version of this, though I've also gone down the cruise ship route, is house framing with the incredibly talented and charming Larry Haun:

I do this sort of thing all the time, just one element that adds up to my atrocious time management skills

saintsoftness.bsky.social•2 days ago

It’s part of my sleep routine now… this feels bad?

fliglman.bsky.social•2 days ago

sounds better than my version where it's part of my watching videos instead of going to sleep routine

saintsoftness.bsky.social•2 days ago

Well I may um also do this

Oh hell yeah. Stealth camping. Oh there's a bunch of bushes in the middle of a big roundabout, lemme spend a night in there.

How and why are you being served these things? Or are you searching them out?

saintsoftness.bsky.social•2 days ago

(a supposedly fun thing I'll probably watch again?)

Motorcycles. Something I won't allow myself to buy

I’ve been watching real estate videos for million dollar flats in London and NYC. They all are 1/10th the size of my house and 10 times the price, and there’s no way I could ever move to either place.

yes. it having nothing to do with me is a huge part of the appeal

A cruise is kinda my nightmare epidemiologically /environmentally/ travel style wise (I like to wander around cities on my own schedule and not be trapped in tiny rooms!). But I love the cruise videos ?

Mountain climbing. I find it fascinating from afar (especially now that the GoPro exists to make you feel like you're right there on the mountain ), but between my fear of heights and the costs, I can confidently say I'd never actually do it.

For me it's very extreme camping videos, like -40 in the Canadian backwoods, with no dialogue, just the sounds of sawing wood, fire crackling etc.

saintsoftness.bsky.social•2 days ago

Have you seen the show Naked and Afraid?

garethwatkins.bsky.social•2 days ago

Possibly every episode.
