There’s The Fine Bros, who make videos of old people reacting to new things, and young people reacting to old things.

I vastly prefer the impossible physics thumbnails, with tsunamis the size of bridge towers, or passenger jets at unlikely angles.
It only took about 20 years, but the internet has become almost as boring as outside.

I guess I’d rather watch a raving, bouncing talking head than one that even at 2x speed is still a snoozer.
And having not watched much TV for the past 35 years ( I live under a bucket), I am constantly amazed at the over-expressiveness of actors, pundits, talking heads, presenters, and even anchors on TV.
EVERYTHING IS IN CAPS!!! AND EVERYTHING NEEDS EYEBROW GYMNASTICS, ARM WAVING AND BOUNCING!!
IT IS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITING!!!
YouTube is just the same.
