I'm literally unable to use YouTube. All the videos seem to be just copies of other people's videos, generally bland, extremely self-focused, essentially boiling down to people wanting to hear own voice and see own face when editing with little substance to enjoy. Good content is etremely rare and hard to come by, drops every few months at best. I cannot do it.

I tried Netflix, but it's just crap. I even was told I cannot watch some shows on ad plan, so I watched it ad-free on the 7 seas online. But I don't want to seek out shows. There's very little interesting stuff being released anymore. They ignore making products for groups in favour of making products for everyone, which results in products for no one. I cannot cope with that.

Lemmy doesn't pump out enough. I found myself seeking out videos on YT only to read their comments.

I play video games, but I won't lie, I'm tired. I bought a new game (Darktide), but it feels very repetetive. I have a few games installed, but I'm tired of them. I don't have the money to buy more.

I cannot go out, because I'm sick. How tf do modern people enternain themselves at home now? I remember when YT had tons of interesting content. It keeps recommending to me stuff which I've already seen or low quality vanity projects. It's nothing I'm interested in.

I'm so desperate I'm now asking you how you pass time. I hope someone may help.

    Find a hobby you can continue after you're allowed outside again.

    Like tech? Start tinkering with things. Find cool projects and see if you can create on your own; if/when you get stuck, start reading online and figure it out.

    Watch stand up comedy. Makes you feel good to laugh, and can pass the time easily inside.

    Start reading a book like the other guy said. Again, good for your brain and can even learn something from it.

    Seems like you really just need to find yourself a new hobby and stick with it, otherwise you'll still be bored after you're sick.
