Setting it to 1.75 speed generally works pretty well for me.
Also, you should know that the second-from-top comment is someone letting him know that her period is synced with his video uploads since 2022. That alone should make it worth a visit.
TL;DR Everything sucks now because companies control it all, and they DGAF about you. To me, the root issue is that people peacefully put up with this bullshit.

Technology Isn’t Fun Anymore
In an era dominated by rapid technological advancements, it’s alarming to reflect on how our once-celebrated innovations now often feel like burdens rather than conveniences. This sentiment was poignantly echoed in a recent video that delved into the frustrations and unexpected positives of modern technology.
The video begins with a stark contrast between fiber internet and its predecessor. In 2018, uploading a mere 15-minute YouTube video took an excruciating two hours, rendering the household’s internet unusable for any other device during this time. Today, boasting speeds of up to two gigabytes per second without intermittent outages, fiber internet feels like a luxury we take for granted—a stark reminder of how technology can swiftly evolve.
However, not all technological intrusions are benign. The video humorously recounts an incident involving AT&T’s installation of fiber optics, which resulted in flooding half the neighborhood, knocking down power lines, and leaving live wires dangerously exposed. In exchange for this chaos, they offered a mere $1 credit, underscoring how some companies prioritize profit over consumer satisfaction.
Amidst these technological mishaps, there are islands of innovation that still bring joy. The Nespresso machine stands out as a gem in the realm of coffee technology, offering the convenience of a Keurig without compromising on taste. Its sustainable pod recycling program adds another layer of appeal, making it more than just a gadget but a responsible choice.
Electric razors also made the list, praised for their efficiency and longevity. Unlike traditional shaving methods, electric razors eliminate the need for frequent blade changes, proving to be both cost-effective and convenient. The added versatility of being able to use them on sensitive areas like the groin further underscores their value.
The video concludes with a humorous jab at subscription perks, revealing that YouTube rewards new subscribers with $100—a sum withdrawn as cash and used to combat Florida’s harsh winters. This quip serves as a poignant reminder of how even technological advancements come with unexpected costs.
In essence, while technology has undoubtedly transformed our lives, it’s essential to recognize the balance between progress and quality of life. The video highlights that amidst the chaos and occasional frustrations, there are still innovations worth celebrating. Fiber internet, Nespresso machines, and electric razors exemplify the potential for technology to improve daily experiences, despite its challenges.
As we navigate this digital age, let us cherish the moments when technology genuinely enhances our lives, rather than complicating them further.

Thanks saved me a click on a video that didn’t really have much to say. OP on this thread was right.

You are on /c/videos. Maybe try another community if you don’t like the content in its current form?

But complaining in another community about this community means /c/videos wouldn’t see the complaint.
