I consume a lot of YouTube. Like a lot a lot. All kinds of YouTube, on all kinds of devices. Long form essays, machinist channels, gaming tournaments, tech channels. I always have a video going at some point or another, if only to have some background noise while I’m working on something else. My side monitor at work has the YouTube logo burned in.

I used to pay for Spotify, and figured I could skip the hassle of dealing with Adblock on devices that don’t really allow for much liberty and still get music by YouTube music for roughly the same price.
