Still pointless, amIright?

Yup.  I mean, I could understand it if they didn't tell you what was in the box beforehand - I likes a good mystery, I does.

But the videos always seem to have titles like, 'Unboxing My New iPhone' or 'Unboxing My New Table Saw' or 'Unboxing My Latest Shipment From Dildos Backwards "R" Us'. Kinda kills the suspense.

What do you think of cyst popping videos or ASMR videos?

Manufacturers know people will do unboxing videos so they make the unboxing and setting up experience as pleasant as possible.
I s'pose it's a part of marketing... This 3D Printer is probably the best packaged product I've ever seen. Check it out.

Things I've had just about enough of, in no particular order:

-the use of 'fraught' as a stand alone word.

-ninjas.

-people who keep livestock as pets.

-portmanteau couple names (looking at you, Brangelina).

-'miracle' foods.

-pasta salad.

-zombies.

-the seemingly never ending series of new 'Star Trek' incarnations.

-customers who shout at the service people.

-the smugness of Scandinavians.

Ah, yes.  The shared experience of...taking stuff out of a cardboard carton. I see it now.

It has nothing to do with showing how to unbox something. It's getting to share in the personal experience of getting to see what's in the box for the first time. And it's more fun if the thing being unboxed is something you sent the person. Ultimately it's about the reaction.

It is equally as much a shared experience, as a sex worker is fucking someone, while they masturbate watching that recording of the sex worker on a porn site. That the recording is solo or with a partner doesn't make much of a difference, this mentality is still in effect parasocial. Nothing wrong with wank material, on the surface of it (I have problems with how it is produced in the "professional" industry, but that's a story for another time), just don't create illusions about it, and they'd be fine.

Sometimes it is a mystery like if it's an item a viewer sent them. Thus they don't know what it is. But sometimes it okay to know because it's exciting just to see the item. But as I said it's not for everyone.

Going to bed. Maybe I will feel mentally and emotionally better when I wake up tonight.

My take on the US shit show...posted on another platform but I thought I would share it here...

"Look around you...every other person you see accepts and backs a man who is a known liar, racist, misogynist, tax cheat, and uses a religion he doesn't believe in or follow to advance himself. He wishes sex traffickers well. He applauds violence. He admits to being attracted to his own daughter. His nepotism has lined the pockets of his unqualified spawn...at your expense. He has funneled federal monies into his own businesses. He lied to us all about the coronavirus...lives have been lost and others forever changed, and not for the better. The list goes on and on...look around you...every other person is okay with that and wants him to continue to erode every decent thing this country ever stood for. America is forever changed...forever tarnished...this is a stain that will never wash out. We are no long the UNITED anything. The division is too wide. Every other person..."

Any dignity or gravitas that used to reside there.

As long as he takes FLOTUS Barbie with him as well as Beavis and Butthead and the bimbo and husband, I don't care if they make off with a few trinkets.  We can replace almost anything except the dignity that once came with the office of the president.
