  • I feel like there’s an additional intent there. Short bursts of dopamine in quick succession are a pretty addicting drug, and thus making people more distracted and sedated, and if they don’t have ADHD, they may get the same focus troubles people with ADHD have.

    If you must consume those, I strongly advise to at least redirect to places autoplay or replay isn’t triggered. In Youtube’s case, there are browser plugins for redirecting, yt-dlp, mobile and PC players, etc.

    And expanding a bit, since it’s not a problem exclusive to Google…

    For TikTok and Odysee, I don’t consume their short-format videos so can’t comment on those. And for Loops, part of the fediverse, watching externally, e.g. on Mastodon, should give the video in a plain form, without the addicting features.


















  • Any recommendations for animes on Crunchyroll?

    Thinking about cancelling my Crunchyroll subscription, and wondering if there’s any to still justify subscribing to.

    Some rambling explaining:

    Most animes I find there are either same-y or bland, either on story, pacing and/or animation, when it’s also not an isekai.

    Even One Piece feels to be going generic, since animation is starting to feel standardized with others and it seems to be using from the same audio libraries (I am tired of that electricity/crackling sound), and watching the first few seasons making the quality drop even more glaring to me.

    Also it’s streaming with no DRM-free option to add value even to the blander ones, and the subscribers’ store isn’t available to my region either.

    Some of nice finds I had over recent years were With You And The Rain and My Dress-Up Darling, which are over, Suzume which is a movie so not much to extend, Frieren and MHA Vigilantes which both were enjoyable but neither got new seasons yet, and Demon Slayer which I already read the manga out of impatience.
