Ivalice_VKP 08/27/17 11:30:17 AM #1:	Does anyone feel this way? I have over 100 channels that I'm subbed to and it's hard to keep up with everything. I try to watch a few videos on lunch break and a few hours when I get home from work, but I have to end up watching them at 1.5 or 2.0 speed and some are still easy to listen to that way and it gets me through the videos faster. I remember ten years ago, I could watch a few videos and be done for a couple of weeks. I feel like I'm sacrificing so much just to get through my subscription feed and it's become like a damn second job (without the pay haha). I'm at the point where after a few days, I end up forgetting what in the hell I just watched. --- Currently Playing: Waiting On: Shenmue III <cite>Ivalice_VKP posted [p:885534001] in Watching Y...

LeetCheet 08/27/17 4:27:45 PM #4:	I felt the same a couple of months ago(I still kinda do but not as much at least). I then decided to unsubscribe a bunch of channels because some of them upload so much crap I don't want to see. I think all the crap that clogged up my sub feed was part of the reason why YouTube felt so overwhelming for me. Even though I unsubbed a bunch of channels, I still don't have enough time and energy to watch everything I'd like to see.

Snuggletoof 08/27/17 8:56:58 PM #13:	For the most part, not really. I have several shitposters that upload really short videos that I can check out for a quick laugh, a few others that upload average length videos semi-frequently, and the rest are specialized channels that I don't feel pressured to watch every video unless I'm particularly interested. The only channel that does overwhelm me is Northernlion. I'd like to keep up with his Binding of Isaac videos, but he uploads daily and each video is 30 - 40 minutes, sometimes pushing an hour long. If I get too busy or put off watching for a little while, the backlog builds up quickly. Especially now with the new save file, I'd really like to keep watching them in order.
