Does anyone else abruptly stop watching shows/streamers/etc you previously enjoyed because you're suddenly bored with them?
Principal investigator at an undeserving midwestern university. I am ill-tempered and well-endowed. Beware.

🤔 I usually convince myself that they've affronted me in some way. Now I'm not sure if they actually did anything wrong, or if I'm someone who needs a well-constructed narrative to convince myself to stop doing something.
In some of my cases, they've put me off in some way, but more often than not I reach a saturation point and just lose interest...
“that's what we're going to talk about today!”
though i did then find sabine hossenfelder's diverse pop-synth music, there wasn't much of it and most recently nearly three years ago. her usual science videos' presentation style hasn't changed much but the topics have been feeling very trite. then she lost me with a very flat critique of gender politics and some awful titles like “i don't believe in free will”. even though there's still alot of cosmology and physics to learn from, i just feel i've seen enough.
I started to get into her, very briefly, but that particular video made me think 'do you have any idea what you're talking about?' and then one starts to wonder about the veracity of the material one isn't personally acquainted with...
quite, it was one thinly veiled vehicle for one statistic which had her livid. she also seemed self deprecating in the neurodivergence video, which ended with "your autism spectrum symptoms are high .. i think that's wrong, i'm really just rude. or german. but then i repeat myself". though while double checking that i found a 'trans athletes in women's sports' vid i hadn't noticed, and it's suprisingly reasonably phrased considering the thin pile of papers it's built on. i think it's been a tough year on sabine that's taken her down to 'elon and the longtermers' and 'chatbots understand part of what they say' and 'these guys believe they're the future of humanity' path, which makes me hesitant to watch about bird flu or electric cars. disclaimer: i'm rather slow understanding these topics, but can be persistent!
