The latest Nick Crawley video for instance if anybody wants to try.

Edit: Wait it’s happening on the latest Penguin0 video too. So confused.

Edit: It’s happening on all videos. Dopamine overload for me. Watching YouTube and browsing Lemmy.

Edit: Wondering if it cause I have a VPN connected to Miami. Not used a VPN for a while, but started last week.

    I really don’t get how people enjoy consuming two sources of information at once. Every time I try to watch something while doing something else, I get frustrated at how I’m unable to properly focus on one thing.

        Idk, there are several things pointing towards me having ADHD, but I haven’t looked for a diagnosis. For some reason it just really irks me to hear half of a conversation, so I keep going back to my “background” media to rewind so I can hear everything.

      when I was a kid I would doodle in class because it was easier to pay attention to the teacher when I was doing something else

      For me it’s just nice having something in the background, just something you’re not actually trying to pay too much attention to, episodes of a show you’ve already seen, long twitch vods, stuff like that.

        I’ve heard many people say that, but I don’t really rewatch shows, and when I do, I still want to focus on them. I also don’t really watch live streams or vods, but just like rewatching things, if I choose to do so, I want to take it all in. It kind of irks me hearing half a conversation. When I put something like that on in the background, I keep rewinding a few seconds so I can hear all of the conversation. Idk, for background entertainment music works best for me, personally.
