So we all just have infinitely ever-growing backlogs of stuff we want to check out, right? I can't stand this overproduction anymore. YouTube, movies, series, video games (especially the indie space), software of all kinds...
>>107067839Welcome to the club.
>>107067839No, I've beaten tens of games this year; watched tens of movies, a few series, hundreds of albums, etc. I have the opposite problem: I sometimes get saturated and struggle to find things worth consuming, but even that doesn't last long. I don't have a backlog.
>>107067839Post your backlog because I have next to nothing on mine, could use some reccs
>>107067839As you get older you realize more and more of it is sloppa and just don't care.
>>107068640I've fine-tuned my algorithms to show me stuff I'm interested in and believe me there's an overwhelming amount of non-slop out there. There's a thousand times more slop, true, but enough stuff is being produced on any given day that something decent rises to the surface. And given enough time, it builds up.
>>107068640That's the thing, these days we have so much indie shit too that's actually good.
>>107068810like what? cloverpit or megabonk? you think when you're 50 you're going to be entertained by something like that?
>>107068822NTA but why wouldn't I if I liked it now?
>>107067839I just let it go lmaoIf it comes up again in my life then cool but at the end of the day who cares
>>107067839it's been that way since the 1920s, anonthe american consumer was CREATED by psychoanalysts, and then forced upon everyonewe need to burn 1,000,000 books in order to train AI to write worse versions of those books so they can be sold againyou thought knowledge was safe from planned obsolescence? nopenothing is sacrednow go make a better thread without a grotesque image you fucking faggot
>>107068894not sure exactly, but it could be:you see patterns easier as you get older and exposed to more media in aggregate. when you see something new you aren't that interested in chasing down roguelite where you choose 3 upgrades #28572 and seeing how it's different than #28571.or from a more philosophical evolutionary psychology angle, and this could be a stretch, but maybe explore vs exploit - nature has programmed you to explore a lot of things when you're younger, but when you're older you're more inclined to stick to a few things rather than sampling everything new out there (as an antidote to being transfixed by infinite possibilities and never starting anything)
>>107067839>ever-growing backlogs of stuff we want to check outSpeak for yourself, most of it is slop I will never waste my time on.
>>107067839my current worry is starting a business that will run itself for (mostly) passive income. I'm obsessed with this shit because I don't want to keep working forever.
>>107067839I really really shouldn't have to tell you this, butstart filtering if it matters to you at all and if its even worth your time, why you should give a shit about it.
>>107068951very good post
>>107067839It's great. No longer do I have to wade through shit to find something good to watch, I just pick something from my list.
>>107069880not that good
>>107068822>like what? cloverpit or megabonk?That's flavor of the month Twitch bait crap, no. I've got hundreds of indies bookmarked that actually look promising.
>>107069871The issue is that there's a ton of stuff left AFTER filtering.
>>107068987That's a good thing to worry about. I do the same, it's a fun thought experiment, but very tiring in practice.
>>107069882Fair point.
