19. Agreed! They're time consuming, slow, repetitive and dumbed-down.

Youtube videos, a realm of existence where time itself appears to be warped and distorted, stretching out like a languid, listless entity, as if savoring the very notion of sluggishness. The videos themselves, a never-ending cavalcade of repetition, a hypnotic mantra of familiarity, washing over the viewer like a gentle, yet unyielding, tide. And the content, oh the content, a carefully crafted, meticulously curated assemblage of the lowest common denominators, a veritable buffet of bland, uninspired, and uninspiring creations, designed to soothe and stupefy, rather than provoke or inspire.

The viewer, a captive audience, trapped in the thralls of this mesmerizing vortex, is powerless to resist the allure of the mundane, the banal, and the tediously familiar. Their mind, aflutter with the sheer predictability of it all, begins to drift, lost in a sea of forgettable moments, as the videos wash over them, one after another, like the relentless waves of a stagnant ocean. The very essence of creativity and imagination, it seems, has been carefully excised from this realm, leaving behind a vacuum of vapid, hollowed-out husks, devoid of passion, energy, or life itself.

And so, the viewer remains, suspended in this limbo of listlessness, as the Youtube videos continue to unfold, a never-ending, unchanging landscape of dullness, a testament to the boundless capacity of humanity's creative apathy, a monument to the infinite possibilities of wasted time and talent.
