Kinda creepy. Inauthentic at best.
I’ve noticed they’ve managed to make the recommendation algorithm even worse, somehow. I liked it when it would recommend things a bit like what the thing actually playing was. I discovered lots of amazing music that way (music which I now cannot fucking find, because I used ‘putting the thing that recommended it on’ to locate said tunes). Now it just gives me a random mishmash of stuff I’ve listened to recently, which is no good if I want some nice Jazz to cook to, and it tells me I might like to listen to Speed Metal or Townes Van Zandt, depending what kind of Drunk Youtube I did the night before. Fuckers.

Yes. It’s quite an experience. Just watching this video is more like watching a movie for me, however. No dice.
Sounds like me.

The eyes. Die Augen.
That was the nicest bit of human contact I’ve had all afternoon. It felt like she really understands me.

That’s a good point. I’m autistic and it is difficult for me to read expressions. I’m good enough at it, but it took several decades and a lot of uncomfortable social exposure to get to that point.

Yeah, constant eye-contact would be pretty intense. I think it depends a lot on the circumstances but it’s something I noticed myself doing a little while ago and have been trying to improve. The problem with making no eye-contact is I appear to not be interested in the person I’m talking to.
I’m going to buy her a car.

It is. Around midnight, my flatmate’s girlfriend and I started a staring contest. “First who looks away, loses”. At two hours, we called it a draw. Because neither of us could stand the snot and tears that started to develop as a result.
That might be a slightly different thing. Constant eye contact is “intense” and a lot of people are put off by it.
There was a Japanese eye-contact DVD in the news about ten years ago.
Nope.avi to any eye contact. I hate it. Nope nope nope nope. *hides*
