Also, I always watch in private and I use a downloader tool to make my own copies

So I think the answer for me is no, but I definitely think I use it very differently than most people who watch YouTube. I don’t watch new things on YT, I don’t follower any YouTubers, it’s basically a repository for MST3K for me, old music videos, and then I will pull movie clips/scans of old films from it for my academic work. I don’t know who the baby gronk rizz king is or whatever, but I’ve found a lot of stuff on YouTube that I probably would not have found elsewhere (other than sometimes Internet Archive)

how long ago was this?

 

I am old enough to have witnessed the golden age of The Simpsons as it was happening, and I know that, even then, people thought it was past its prime. I was among the many who tut-tutted that it was trash beginning in the early 2000s, but… I was getting over being sick a week or so ago, and I gave myself an experiment that bore surprising results. I knew there were a couple episodes I liked in the early teen seasons (or at least, ones that stuck in my head and made me chuckle), so how far could I go through The Simpsons before I find a season with NO good episodes? I skipped ToH episodes just so I have more new stuff for spooky season, but I’m in the mid 20s seasons and I’m surprised at how much I’m enjoying these episodes. I skip around based on synopsis, so I’m not watching all of them, but I feel like this show is much better than I thought it was at that point in its life. Just wanted to share this somewhere.

Thatcher was the only person uglier in person than their puppet in this video.

This isn't my actual answer, but I tried doing that treadmill dance and immediately busted my ass

This feels like a cheat answer, but as someone who has played for 25 years and organized events for 15, I’m likely much more knowledgeable about the rules of Magic: the Gathering than the “average person”. Not sure that I am necessarily exponentially better than the average player, but maybe I am now that so many people play digitally and don’t need to know the rules as much.
