Unfortunately the addictability and social acceptability are mutually exclusive. I can't think of anything that's both. Maybe coffee.

Reading, maybe. People don't read actual literature as much as they used to.

A long video would also be better for you, yes, instead of being designed to catch your attention and keep giving you dopamine hits.

There is consensus that Media Bias/Fact Check is generally unreliable, as it is self-published. Editors have questioned the methodology of the site's ratings.

Thanks, I needed a good laugh this morning. Glad to see there's more than just MBFC anointing themselves.

Yes, but that's not specifically illegal in the US.

Hmm, I wonder if the server install trick would fix my issue with upgrading to 24H2. On my desktop system, when it reboots for upgrades, it bluescreens saying it can't find the storage device. I'm guessing it's something to do with the RAID driver.

Edit: nope lol

In giant companies, there's a lot of wasted time and money.

It's because it gives a nice dopamine hit. Just like a still-image meme but more so because it's video.

Agreed, except youtube is great for any guides on stuff like vehicle maintenance. Want to know how to do something on your car? It's almost guaranteed there's a youtube video walking you through the whole process.

If you think the meaning is "funny joke, upvotes to the left", no, it never meant that.

Same way regular software does.
