Oh, I'm not really young, and I do like long form stuff, but less in the form of video content. Either reading, audio books, or podcasts are generally my longform type entertainment. I so occasionally watch 10-30 minute videos, but again most of my intake like that, especially informational instead of just comedy, is in the form of either podcast or straight text.
I work IT and I don't like video demonstrations, but instead prefer web pages that explain and give either images or text examples.
Some people like to see the food, and judging how it is far more popular than the reviews you've mentioned, I would say your opinion is probably in the minority. I don't say this as a fan; in fact I'm not really interested in streaming or review videos for the most part, but that puts me in a minority too.
Even content creators I like, like for instance ProZD or CalebCity, I love their short form videos, but I don't watch ProZD's review videos nor Caleb's streams.
As long as there are consumers, a product will sell, even if we aren't interested ourselves or think it's dumb.
Depends on what you like. I'm not really into WWII docus, though I fully acknowledge the necessity to know about it.
I tend to prefer fantasy (including science fantasy) type stuff, with or without major antagonists, and I think a major part of that is I can see real life tragedies every day. I dislike rape in storytelling as well.
Now that's my personal desires, but it doesn't mean I think people who do like real life drama type stuff are weird or anything. There are probably benefits they feel from it.
I also have no desire for bad or downer endings. Bittersweet I can like and be fine with, and sure, some happy endings are too "sweet" or unrealistic, bur I still prefer those ro "everyone dies and it was ultimately pointless" endings.
Did you read the subreddit, or you just don't like this kind of humor? Because I don't think this kinda humor is below Lemmy or anything.
Heat is also (thermal) radiation. So is light, radio waves, microwaves, etc. However, the radiation from a fire or the other stuff I mentioned isn't ionizing, so unless the heat itself does damage it won't do cellular damage.
You also give off thermal radiation, but so does anything higher temp than absolute zero.
Some of the chemicals do show up a bit in blood, but there's no evidence it's toxic iirc.
Yeah, it's specifically fine a new outgroup to blame if they've eliminated the previous one. They have allies or convenience, but they wouldn't keep them if it didn't benefit themselves somehow.
I dunno... communities sounds suspiciously close to communism...
Are we not doing phrasing anymore?
Look at these rich people with other rooms they can be in!
Jokes aside, if want to play on my computer, and I do, room it is. I could play switch or steam deck downstairs, but that's a shared space and my roommate uses it too.
For most of my scrolling and feed I use lemmy. I have discord for friends and workmates. Reddit I never comment, scroll, or even login to, but some extremely specific searches will still have some usable info on Reddit, especially for work (IT, mostly non Linux environments) or for very niche subjects.
I don't use other forms of social media, unless you count random youtube videos. Though I don't go through that using the algorithm much either, unless it recommends videos from the same 8 or so creators I'll let it, or it's short animal videos.
You do realize the tone of your question comes off as intentionally aggressive and inflammatory, right? It's akin to saying "so why do you beat your wife/children/significant other?" to people you don't know.
I'm black (well, a mutt) and I hate the systematic abuses done to any minority or anyone at all really, but I don't have any black lives matter flags, decals, etc despite my agreement with the movement. It's kinda disingenuous to ascribe something you've seen a few do to a whole group or movement.
