YouTube has kind of become my learning resource lately so my time has gone up a fair bit recently.
- One of my goals for 2023 is to learn a new programming language (Go) and become more proficient in one I know a little about (Python). In addition to reading materials, YouTube coding sessions have really helped to visualize not just the language but tools and aesthetics surrounding them.
- I’m an armchair urbanist and watching videos made by creators like @notjustbikes@notjustbikes.com and @nerd4cities@mstdn.social gives me life. In fact I don’t watch a lot of “mainstream” TV because I’m a documentary and factoid nerd and content like this is 80% of my playlists.
- YouTube is also the biggest repository of Lofi music on the internet and it’s the background sound of my existence at the moment, so you’re bound to hear it piped into whatever space I’m occupying while reading, sipping coffee, working and sometimes sleeping. YouTube is how it streams in most cases…
TLDR; I would be SOL if YouTube and Google started spazzing out like Twitter is right now… 🙄
