struthless’ video about suicide was absolutely amazing.
I think I’ll mention “★☆SPARKLE ON RAVEN: The Life of DrillGirl☆★ Ep 1: The Perfect Perfect School Year”. It’s from a few years ago, but I first saw it this year, and that’s all that matters for the purposes of this question, right? I could certainly mention a number of other YT videos I saw this year, that were made this year; but for the most part YouTube just feels like overly short or overly long disposable one-time slop, right? By contrast, Sparkle on Raven and other “fanime” I saw this year are things I’ve actively returned to, shown others, referenced, and reflected on, so their impact on me has lasted for more than just one week.
That is such a hard question. Youtube is my throwaway repacement type of watch. The thing in the background while I do other things. I mean there are creators who I always like their fare and catching colbert and the occasional snl and last week tonight is nice. Im sure there have been some that at the time I was like. omg. this is hilarious, and I go call my wife over. Thing is its sorta flash in the pants and then I forget.
I did not watch any youtube videos in 2025.
Respect. I am so disappointed with what YouTube has become. Everything feels so hyper-optimized for clicks now and there are way too many ads.
I discovered Jet Lag: The Game this year. I particularly like Tag Eur It 3 and AU$TRALIA games. They are also availalbe on Nebula.
