It's like I can feel myself detach from whatever topic I'm listening to as I expect it to be a lead up for Raid Shadow Legends.

It's like I'm gonna disengage from serious things because I'm just waiting to see how they are going to ask for money.

I get it's to keep engagement, but it's doing the opposite. I don't want you to slip between conversation into a commercial like that's not creepy as fuck. It's like the Truman show, but nobody's even watching you. I dunno, it's not fun out here.

    IDK if Veritasium was always ass or if its a more recently thing, but it feels like a decent chunk of their recent stuff is either berdly-actually reddit garbage or thinly veiled ads. That video about the speed of light in a copper wire lives in my head

        The basic premise is "if you have a lightbulb and a switch separated by a light-second long wire, how long does it take the lightbulb to light up?" The real answer is obviously one second, but if the lightbulb is near the switch, it will receive a very small amount of charge from the electromagnetic field of the wire as soon as you turn it on, so technically it'll receive like 1% of the power immediately and 99% once the electricity makes it down the wire.
