    Why are got guys watching ads?

    Seriously, I don’t get it.

    You don’t have to watch ads on YouTube. Not on your TV, not on your phone.

    I’m using NouTube on Android via fdroid. It has YouTube and YouTube Music together in one app and automatically skips both ads and sponsorship segments. Basically free premium, at least on Android.

    People. What. The. Fuck?

    Why does everyone freak out about the adds and not the level of brainrot this is. Like how do you actually function in your daily life if you can’t stop watching content for a 5min shower? I have ADHD but I feel like I am amateur attention span issues and this is competitive ranked grand master attention span issues

    Yes I am judging and maybe even shaming you.

    Okay not shaming you because doing so is negative and I genuinely hope you get better if you have attention span issue. Smooches on you

      So I dont watch stuff in the shower but I do kinda HAVE to watch something to go to sleep. If I dont I cannot go to sleep or I sleep pretty bad because I kinda just go into a weird depressive mental state. I know its not good and it does need to be fixed. Im just currently NOT in a situation where I can get help on it so I use it to hold it as a temporary workaround for now. I do imagine other people have a worse version of this.

      I mean, I do it, but I also spend at least 2-4 hours outside a day without any input from my phone. It’s more like, “I’m watching an interesting video, but I also need to take a shower, no reason to not do both.”

    I get listening to music in the shower, although I don’t. Watching videos while taking a shower? Maybe while taking a bath.

    But, really, you can’t step away from media for a few minutes a day for some peace and quiet?

    Suffering through being alone with your thoughts is the first step toward better mental health. Your issues don’t go away if you ignore them, they just get worse. You know this, so make an effort for yourself.

    Getchu one of these.

    For those who play YouTube or other videos in the shower, it is really nice. Make sure it fits your case though. My wife doesn’t use ours because her otter box monstrosity wont let the cover shut.

      Or just get a water resistant phone. Though I would suggest caution when it’s soapy water because that affects the surface tension of the water, which could mean some can slip past the seals that normally keep water out.

      Though I have a water resistant phone but have never brought it into the shower with me. It was more of a case of not wanting to be worried about my phone in any kind of a situation involving water. Like going in to one of those 3D movie attractions with moving seats that sprayed water, I was concerned about whether I should be concerned about my phone getting wet. Turned out to be just tiny amounts of water and nothing to be concerned about even if I had my phone out, but after that I wanted to remove that worry from the list entirely.

        Heat and steam can also be a factor in a water breach. A phone that can be fully submerged into a pool of water may or may not stand up well to steam at its seams, particularly where those seams have different materials with different expansion rates due to heat, like glass and aluminum. Small gaps may open, even if invisible to the eye, and steam can seap in. It may not even be a problem immediately but get worse later when the steam cools and condensates.

          Yeah, though at least pressure doesn’t really factor in, which I think is where most cases of steam breaching a water seal comes in to play. But if gases can be exchanged, steam is way higher humidity than air normally and can condense inside.

          My guess would be the odds of a soap or steam breach on a water resistant phone is very low, but if you bring your phone in for every shower, you might be tempting those odds.

      Or if you’re a poor high school student like I was, chuck it in a ziploc and set it on the caddy.
