Recently I’ve only been looking at my Youtube Subscription feed for stuff to watch rather than browsing through their main page. It helps remove all the dreck from the feed, and then I can choose if I care about any of the things that my subscriptions have posted. It’s been saving me a lot of time.
But really, the best thing about Youtube is the liked folder (Spotify’s also works very well, I also use IMDB’s watchlist for a similar purpose).
I don’t “like” every video that I find enjoyable, I only like the stuff that really punches me in the gut.
So, after ‘X’ amount of years, my liked folder has turned into this wonderful suppository of things that are meaningful to me, and I can scroll through it and sort out the history of my thinking. It’s pretty cool.
Anyway, I was scrolling through this past week and came across a number of videos from The Royal Ocean Film Society’s channel and remembered how great they are.
He hasn’t been posting as much recently, but the catalog is worth it. Many are video essays, which I am typically wary of, but these are really well done. The graphic design and editing are very impressive in each episode. Well worth checking out.
