Unusual things you watch on YouTube

[Dance Witch Abortion]

I have been watching YouTube a lot more in recent weeks and have realised I have a bit of a fascination with Turkish barber massages, chiropractor back cracking and, erm, people having the hard skin peeled off their feet... all very therapeutic especially before bed!

Live train videos in Norway.

Live train videos in Norway.

Why specifically Norway?

That's where the trains are.

I was into Japanese apartment tour videos for a while, which led me to small space architecture/design videos (Never Too Small is a good place to start if you fancy going down that particular rabbit hole).

My young nephew has a train obsession, it’s a very male thing isn’t it. He can happily sit and just watch an hour of trains chugging away.

It's from the drivers point of view. It's just lots of pretty snowy scenes.

How very cute. I like that they’re quite short videos too.

I also enjoy obnoxious tours of expensive houses.

Oh that’s a bit different.

Honestly YouTube has just amplified how as humans we just really enjoy the seemingly mundane. There really is a niche for absolutely everybody.

I also got into old Supernanny clips last year. I absolutely adore this girl, Megan, who corrects Supernanny’s speech and later on attacks her.

I watched way too many US election YouTube commentators in the run up to November that they make about 90% of my recommendations now.

Oh yes the less commentary the better! The massage videos I like just have traffic in the background going past the barbers and the natural noise of the environment. Quite soothing weirdly.

The recommendations can definitely be a blessing and a curse!

IKR.

They still come up. They're super boring post Trump. But I still click.

I dig murder. Any recommendations?

That reminds me, I went through a phase of doing a Wikipedia deep-dive on murderers, found out so much more about the Wests.

It’s not Youtube but I can go to different places in the world on Google Maps and explore for hours.

Omg same! I keep getting the ‘Let’s Talk Elections’ one. I’m all for a bit of political analysis but it really is to early to care about the 2022 midterms.

I’ve never seen any about there! I’ve been really fascinated by South America lately

A lot of the videos end up being quite scant on details, but they're good for before bed when you're not really listening anyway.

But not the 2021 Virginia gubernatorial race!

Yeah, I follow him. A few of the popular left wing commentators. I just don't care about internal US politics, when there's no devil involved.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

@Tisch Do you watch Jago Hazard? He really makes me laugh.

 

[rhythmbandit]

Pokèsins, and Cinemasins. Hours and hours of fun.

I feel like this wasn’t meant to be in response to my post maybe?

It’s not Youtube but I can go to different places in the world on Google Maps and explore for hours.

Yes me too! I love looking at really obscure and remote places. Tiny villages on the north coast of Russia or buried in the middle of Kazakhstan.

He's quite jolly and sarcastic and an absolute geek when it comes to London stations.

There's another train guy, who's quite weathered and veers way too into trainspotting for my liking.
