YouTube is a wonderful resource of knowledge. It’s the only US big-tech social media site I derive joy from, and it seems to be a net positive for me. My “Watch Later” playlist sits at roughly 2,000 videos. In my attempt to work through that list, I am incentivizing watching video after video. But consumption without action is not helpful. I hereby challenge myself to watch a YouTube video only if I take notes afterward. This also reduces the likelihood of watching another and yet another YouTube video, in the worst case sucking you into doomscrolling YouTube Shorts.
