YouTube is Becoming a Real Problem / myLot

I think I may need AA or their 12-step program at least. I find myself watching more and more on YouTube. I started watching the ex-Scientology folk and have gotten to watch about 4 almost daily. Then I found a gal that was affiliated with SPTV and she is on really late. I also watch some abandoned storage unit buyers and they also go to rummage sales and flea markets. I am watching three of those. And, of course, there are the vintage movie channels that I have come across and keep adding to my subs list. Ghee's! That's about 10 channels I watch. And YouTube has something on most any subject matter you can think of to watch. I hate to say daily but, yeah, some days I watch them all. It's like I want to check in with them daily and see how they are doing and what's going on. And I have about six other apps I watch stuff on periodically. I do like watching TV. I usually watch from about 7-8p. until 3-5a.

It seems that you are becoming an addict. I have several addictions online, including my coming to mylot every day for some hours.

I can see where you might see that as a problem. I do most of my watching on Youtube. So, I can understand.

I was being rather facetious but it is a bit of one. I am a long-time TV addict.

Seems like you are so much on Youtube for particular videos/shows I would only say don't get addicted

I am solidly hooked on In the Heat of the Night. That show is my current addiction.

Better give yourself some timeout from all the screen time. Your eyes need to rest too.

YouTube can be addicting, Lately, I am into the old game show Password Plus I like seeing the old actors and I love to train my brain and see if I can solve the puzzles, When I want something intriguing I watch 48 hours and see who killed who and why and if the crime was solved, So from there on I go, I also have a very long Favorite list of songs in both Latvian and English,

I enjoy watching those old game shows too. I also enjoyed that show when Alan Ludden was the host and he and Betty White were falling in love. They were so cute. I like Dateline. I have certain songs I enjoy too.

You can really spend a lot of time on YouTube once you get started. There's so much to watch. Have a good day.

Yes, and I keep getting more things in my feed and have to go check them out. I'm too curious for my own good it seems.

If you watch TV for hours, I stare at my computer/laptop monitor for hours. As a result, my level of nearsightedness increased.

I know how that can be. I try to be careful and keep the lighting good for my eyes.

Make sure you are not addicted to youtube. It is easy to get addicted. Plus, it is much better to limit the hours on youtube and do few things productive instead of being laid-back. I am working on this approach as it helps me to meet my goals instead of being cribbing about them. Enjoy the time!

Oh, I enjoy the laid-back lifestyle myself. I used to have goals but not so much anymore. I'm 72 and just enjoying my time.
