Man I remember one of my friends got a flat panel about a decade ago and he is a huge movie buff, tons of old horror and sci fi VHS and DVDs. He would invite me to watch movies and it just always boggled my mind how fucking shitty and unwatchable the movies were.
It was years later when I realized it was that smooth motion garbage. I really do not understand how people can put up with how trash that feature is
Consisting your friend is a huge movie buff I’m surprised it didn’t bother the heck out of him, film fans usually turn that crap off as soon as they turn on the TV. Supposedly it’s because sports, soap operas and a lot of low budget TV are shot & broadcast at higher frame rate than film - so when you watch a film with the frame rate artificially increased your brain goes ‘I am watching low budget soap trash’ subconsciously. I think people are just used to film looking a certain way and anything that makes it appear quite different is too distracting for them to relax into the fantasy.
Write an article.
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.
Is there a community like /r/lostredditors for Lemmy lol

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.
Opposites, you and I are.
Also I’m sure you can do that with AI or view the transcript somehow already.
Here is the AI article nobody asked for:
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.
The biggest problem for me is the absolute crap interfaces for most tech. No logic in the design.no ability to look at an interface and be able to just understand what you need to do. Now it’s spend an hour doing Google searches and trying to figure it out.
There is a logic to the design: most apps are designed to be used for as long as possible instead of getting what you want done.
I just watched this yesterday!
Drew made some very good points while still being understandable enough to those that aren’t as up to par with what is going wrong in the world. Really well done video, and so was his gambling dilemma video!
Thanks for sharing!
It totally is.
I have fun with technology every single day.
Yesterday I spent a good part of the evening scrapping a site to serve myself an API of it’s contents and dockerizing the app.
BTW if you try to put a service under docker with exposed ports remember to change localhost to 0.0.0.0
