Relaxing side of YouTube

[thejuice]

You know how YouTube seems to recommend toxic content?

How about a YouTube thread for relaxing content?

Nice thread idea. There is a lot of cool stuff on YouTube, besides people competing to show you how much they understand life.

There was a whole genre called slow-tv some years ago, I think it started in Norway (@Forest Cat do you remember more?)

I have been on that boat, the Victoria. It's a great trip, you travel through several locks, as seen in the video. Telemark is a beautiful place in the summer.

Slow-TV is great. I have watched it, it's riveting. It started years ago with a 12 hour long live broadcast of wood burning in a fireplace. People watched that and discussed it at length. People were waiting for new logs to be added to the fire and discussed the best/correct way to chop wood, all things wood and fire related was thoroughly discussed. And this grew and we had a 137 hour long live broadcast of a ship sailing slowly up the coast. Half the country was watching it. There are several different slow-tv shows. The key to it is that nothing happens. It's very quiet and uneventful.

You are lucky, I wish it was me, I fell in love with that boat and trip the first time I saw that piece, I really want to take that trip on MS Victoria one day.

I have seen a few others from NRK like a train ride through Norway, so beautiful

I had a job where I needed a TV running most of the time, so it was great content for that screen, I just needed something running that wasn't too distracting to me

My dad would love that!

I heard life in the distant past was quite uneventful. Now it can be constant stimulation.

It's why I periodically purge my YouTube settings to reset all the garbage I don't want to see where their so-called algorithm goes to hell in a handbasket.

Forcing me each time to discipline myself a little more by choosing not to randomly select "clickbait" designed to get my attention via baser instincts. An admittedly slow process, but it does seem to improve a bit with each purge of so much that I don't want to see to begin with.

That said, I'll always have time to watch "Save A Fox's" Finnegan Fox. What a character!

Crazy as ever, but not as wild as you'd think.
