So out of the fire, and into the frying pan.

I thought this was weird too, because both YouTube and reddit are quite addictive, just like Facebook. YouTube's recommendations are an endless pit of wasted time unless one takes care to view only a small, curated set of channels with daily time limits. As for reddit, it's quite noisy (like Twitter) and attracts a lot of what I consider low value comments and posts (the kinds that are discouraged on HN and get ruthlessly downvoted to oblivion here).

On YouTube and reddit I am a “content creator” and my specialty is 3D printed robots. I am good at what I do and people appreciate it, so I don’t get a lot of trolls. Also it’s all open source so people tend to just really appreciate my posts!
