Is it me or is the auto play of everything monumentally irritating?
No, I don’t want to see your random shitty follow up.

It isn’t you (or at least not just you). I’d extend it to dumb IT stuff which thinks that it knows best or that it’s just being helpful. Example: every time I connect my phone to my PC the latter stops the useful things that it was doing and instead starts to launch a programme to download pictures. It is veeeeeery slooooooow at this and I abort it anyway as soon as it will let me. Doubtless there will be some way to switch it off. But that’s not how I want to spend the limited time I have left on this earth - dealing with unhelpful and unwanted interruptions.

Once in a while, between bouts of recommending me videos with 3 views that have nothing even tangentially related to anything I’ve ever viewed, the YouTube algorithm coughs up a happy mistake.
Back in the long long ago times, back before the internet times, we had something in North America called Comminity Access television. These were non-commercial TV stations that served a single city or small group of towns. They acted as a sort of community bulletin board, mostly scrolling text announcements, coverage of city council meetings, call in shows with the Mayor, that kind of thing. But they also allowed the public access to a fully equipped studio and technical people to make their own shows. Mostly funny because it was so amateurish, but once in a while you would flip on the TV late at night with a head full of acid and find something like this . . .

Community TV was a thing in Straya too. Much the same deal; travelogues, religious nutters, freaks, handymen, and the occasional performance artist (ALWAYS nude).
Terrible and riveting in equal measure.

LOL, even back then I wouldn’t have watched all of that 
But yeah, there’s some little gems in the bit I watched.
Survivalist/Prepper thing has always been around in the US and Canada, but in the 80s was when it really got up some steam. Then it was fear of nuclear war with the Soviets and commies/pinko enablers in general. The premise today would be anti government, anti “globalist”, lizard people battling conspiracy loons

We’ve had a smattering of them here for as long as I’ve been aware of such things existing - cold-war leftovers mostly, but as you say, with batshit conspiro-lunacy so widespread nowadays, they’re no doubt burgeoning again…

Boot Bar, Whistler 2003, White Rhino playing the finest Canadian reggae…
I was very, very drunk. I probably still have the CD somewhere. Cannot find them on Discogs.

Whistler in 2003. There definitely would have been some white dreads at that gig
