Well that’s one way to go to bed on time :)

I can't sleep without something playing in the background.. Curse this habbit.

I discovered a particularly good genre for that:

Zero narration mechanical manufacturing videos. E.g. from some Japanese paperclip/thumbtack factory:

I'm already, seriously, looking forward to the post-mortem. It kind of sucks when things break, but it is also really interesting to hear the gritty details. Hopefully they don't disappoint? Odds that is AI related?

Same here... Having been on both sides of it, I much rather prefer reading about a post-mortem than writing one

You can search and watch videos directly with no issue, but main feed and suggestions on the side of videos are not appearing. Really goes to show how much I depend on the algorithmic recommendations, I have no idea what to watch having to search manually. Usually my feed always has something that piques my interest. edit: back up

Search on YouTube has been broken for at least 4 to 5 years.

Some time back it used to find stuff. Now its just recommends shorts.

yt-dlp pulling down a handful of videos and playing them locally could help if using workstation or laptop then re-up them to phone if using a phone.
