    Cool. So people can get valuable information without the need to watch 25 minutes long videos (of which 20 minutes are often self-promotion and blabbering for ads revenues)

      One more reason to get SponsorBlock, it can also label the “meat” of those videos and let you skip all the fluff.

      You mean you dont want to watch a 30 minute video on “how to change a lightbulb” with only 30 seconds of actual content you need/were looking for shoved somewhere in the back that you spend more time searching for than if you had actually read the manual?!

      Ah, but you’re assuming that all is said on YT videos is correct and useful.
      A classic blunder.

      Who knows, maybe now Chat GPT will blabber about for an extra three paragraphs before getting to the point and then give you bullshit info like many of the YouTubers.

      Chat GPT, how do I change a light bulb?

      Hey, what’s up, fam? Welcome back to my channel! Today, I’m going to show you how to change a light bulb, but first, let me tell you about this crazy party I went to last weekend. It was insane! I mean, the DJ was dropping beats like nobody’s business, and the dance floor was on fire!

      But back to business. You know, changing a light bulb might seem like a simple task, but trust me, it’s all about the technique. Before we dive into that, though, let me share with you my latest fashion haul. I just scored these killer new sneakers that are going to take my style game to the next level!

      Changing a light bulb is like changing your mindset, you know? It’s all about embracing the light and letting go of the darkness. Deep stuff, I know. But hey, that’s just how I roll.

      Okay, back to the light bulb situation. So, you’re gonna need a ladder for this. Or maybe a chair if you’re feeling adventurous. I mean, who needs a ladder, am I right? Safety first, who needs it?

      Next, you gotta unscrew the old bulb. But be careful, 'cause sometimes those suckers can be stubborn. If it doesn’t come out easily, just give it a good yank. What’s the worst that could happen, right?

      Now, grab your new bulb and… umm… just stick it in there, I guess? I mean, it’s not rocket science. Oh, and make sure the power’s still on while you’re doing this. Adds a little excitement to the process, you know?

      And that’s it! You’ve successfully changed a light bulb. Or at least, I hope you have. If not, well, there’s always candles, right? Anyway, thanks for watching, don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share this video with your friends. Catch you on the flip side!

        Maybe. Still faster to read and discard than watching a useless 25 minutes videos.
