Indeed. Although as with anything, moderation is key. Not too much, or too little. Listening to 4 hours a day of Tiktok or Youtube boneheads, probably isn't all that good for the average person.

(I'm not referring to intellectual videos, but instead just "some random person" that has amassed 10M followers because they .. well I don't know what they do, except market themselves well. Then start blathering on about literally the dumbest blather ever.

For example, taking medical advice from some guy living in a van, or taking scientific advice from some dude who doesn't even understand ... anything.

Populism to the extreme. Lookit me, I'm purdy, ergo my opinion on everything supersedes everyone.)

Well, why should I listen to a random person commenting on HN? ;D

Having watched a lot of educational and scientific videos, I'm beginning to think there are diminishing returns, and they can be just as addictive and non-valuable.

Filling the day with any video's seems to have downsides.

I mean, then take ops advice one more step

>moderation is key. Not too much, or too little

Watching videos all day, even 'good' videos isn't moderation. Your physical body, therefore your mind suffers from lack of exercise.

Hard agree. I have really tried to make sure I spend most of my time reading high quality material these days. I realised my brain being saturated with a lot of drivel was actually having a notable impact on me. Much more than I expected.
