    I feel like an alien in these comments.

    I… “subscribe” to YouTubers. But I watch videos à la carte, only if the subject seems interesting.

    I don’t follow them.

    I sympathize when they open up about personal stuff mid-video, but that aside I have zero interest in their lives/feed. Why should I? I don’t have a relationship with them.

    So I never had the chance to drop any because I don’t follow them in the first place.


    …Is this a neurodivergence thing?

    I feel like it is.

      no. I’m neurotypical and I have very low interest in parasocial relationships.

      Videos are there for me to watch while I eat my lunch. I have about 5 youtubers I follow and when one isn’t worth watching I just add someone else to the mix.

        I mean, whatever “hip” is, I am the farthest thing from that.

        I was thinking it was part of my… more antisocial tendencies.
