Unboxing videos are useful when you want to know what a product comes with but the specs don't list it. I'm thinking laptops and audio devices and poo poo mainly. Like, yeah, if the laptop lacks a dedicated HDMI port does it come with a micro-HDMI to HDMI adapter? The manufacturer doesn't say, guess I'll find someone who opened it up. That's about the only use case. That and sometimes people who just have podcasts or chat about whatever with the audio laid over opening a box but that's more "I needed a not blank screen" than unboxing video I guess.

Unboxing videos are useful when you are in a box and can't find your way out.

I know that I watch the same charts for new CPU releases or GPU releases. Maybe there’s more there that you’re not seeing? Maybe? Hopefully?

There’s also probably value in seeing how different pens write differently.

Sometimes I watch youtube videos of people sitting around talking about bad movies. I have to remind myself that these peopel are not my friends and there is not real social relationship. Its hard sometimes. But real friends will never ask you for money in order to see photos of their butthole. And here on SA people will show you one very special butt hole.

Whoa now, when I was talking about "kids who grow up on unboxing videos" I meant like, the kids who literally sit and watch 10+ hours of toy unboxing videos a day. Toy unboxing videos are a huge, huge thing with kids. Or at least they were a few years ago. There was a 7 year old that in 2018 had made $22 million by posting videos of him unboxing toys. I get that there are uses for adult ones like see what comes in the package or whatever but there are kids who just watch toy unboxing. all day long.

I went onto my facebook for the first time in a long long time. I saw some post by an old work colleague from like 20 years ago. I clicked on it. I saw he was a coiner. I unfriended him. This is the way.

I thought he was dead. The guys name is Kirk Johnson but the death reports from 9years ago seem to be jokes. I hope he’s alive and well and enjoying life with oversized things shoved up his rear end.

Oh god. about a decade ago I got involved with someone like that. He did computer effects. I wanted to make a video. So we struck a deal. I would buy the video gear like camera and lens, he d process the video, and when we were done he d keep the gear. The fucker likes to watch youtube videos about gimbals and magic lantern firmware, He had a huge boner for some scene in children of men, he d post on his social media all day about a "project" involving real actors he knew from his time doing computer effects. But nothing gets done.

Yuuup. A couple months ago I was watching some woodworking videos and one had a pretty clever way to bang together a work bench. We needed a new table so I decided to give it a shot and just actually finish it rather than leaving it bare wood. All the youtube videos that purported to show exactly how to do this technique were missing multiple key parts, once I started actually doing it. I basically ended up reading a bunch of carpentry stuff on actual webpages and doing some learning by  But gently caress me running, youtube as a place to learn poo poo is dire. I should have known better, too. I've got a couple other hobbies that have youtube poo poo on them and inevitably I end up spotting huge holes in them. poo poo, I've got one small video that's literally just me showing how to take the cover off a thing. I posted it for a random forum because someone wanted to know. It's gotten thousands of hits (which is massive compared to my usual dozens) and as far as I can tell it's because literally every other video about it skips over how to remove the cover.

I found an NFT in the gutter. I will transfer full ownership to you for $400 in Amazon gift cards. I will touch up the original artwork to make a cleaner image, delivered in both PDF and JPEG. This will be yours. Payment first.

This situation will not last. Hashrate must fall or price must rise. I'll let you figure out which is more likely based upon the historical data we have available.
