I have no idea what’s going on with YouTube now, but it’s become damn near unwatchable on the app. Ads are every 1-2 minutes. And all of them are unbelievably obnoxious. It’s gotten so bad I genuinely don’t want to watch videos on YouTube at all.
Me: texting my Japanese friend from a convenience store Why are there hot drinks in vending machines?
Friend: Because it is winter.
Me: Yeah but emotionally this surprised me.
Friend: Foreigners are always shocked by warm canned coffee.
Me: I bought one and now I feel like a divorced detective.😂
Friend: That is the correct experience.

Me: WAIT.
You're right.
Why is there smooth jazz playing while I buy instant noodles at 1 AM?
Friend: To make your bad decisions feel sophisticated.😂
