Who the hell is saying this stuff is boring? Every video i watch of yours nearly put me on the brink of an existential crisis (affectionate)

You say that, but you help me detox with my attention span. You actually make me slow down and think, it’s quite refreshing

I like slow paced long format videos like this, although i usually watch them while doing another task, despite this i know and hate my shrinking attention span and worry for how others will be influenced

Bro, far from boring! Your videos have literally turned my life around. You sir, are a teacher of wisdom

I was diagnosed with adhd as a child, when I look back it was because i was overly social, constantly questioning authority from a young age. The teachers didn’t like me from a young age they told my parents I would never be able to function in the world without medication. I was put on adderall from 9 till my early 20s. I’d say the damage the drugs did gave me what they call “clinical adhd or add” but I don’t really believe in it anymore. I just learn different and I don’t need drugs or society telling me what success is. I live with my mom and we’re starting a homestead. Many people would look at me at 26 as a loser because I’m not on my own racing to get a pretty little box in a city close to a career. Well my mom can’t do it on her own and I like being helpful. Sometimes we need to slow down.

I sleep to your videos every night. Not only they are informative, but soothing at the same time

I clicked on this video just say, you don't make boring videos man, what you make is philosophical videos, the kind of thing that kids these days don't care about, but us, we watch this

The best thing I do is stay away from short form content. I rarely click on any video under 8 minutes. It has helped me immensely.

I discovered your channel in 2020 , it's so great 👍🏼

You help me destress and become grounded. Your voice is very unique and so are your videos. Plus I like to think I’m a little more smarter with the information you provide.

I am also aspiring to create Low Stimulating Videos, i was unsure in the beginning that maybe people won't watch those videos. But you have certainly changed my view on that. Thank you. Also great video as always.

Personally I don’t think they’re boring. The very reason I watched these videos is because it gets the brain juices flowing, makes me look at it in a different perspective. Keep em coming!

Attention span and overstimulation aside ,I really like your slow paced video format It creates a chill atmosphere, Especially your shower thoughts videos , I always put one on before I go to sleep there quite comforting.

I enjoy the slow pace, simple voicing, and easily concentrating music you add. I also like that you see the problems in the world, rather than going along with them. It makes me happy there's someone who notices how society is slowly destroying itself.

I feel boring is an interesting choice of word. But in saying that I can’t think of a more fitting one for the message you’re sending.

I'm really thankful for your content actually, it's some of the rare stuff that actually forces me to skow down and start firing the ol' grey matter.

I love your videos the algorithm hasn’t been recommending you lately but I do like listening to your stuff while editing photos it opens my mind sometimes.

Your videos are the opposite of boring. You've helped me a lot, Aperture ❤

Love the slow pace. Never change! 🤍

I'm a Boomer and we dealt with life much better WITHOUT the Internet as a whole, Facebook, Instagram and IGNORANT TikTok bullshit. These current generations of people are Fk'd, I love your video format.!!! Keep up the GREAT work dude.!!!!

You've helped many of us Aperture. Thank you for what you do. Out of the 100+ channels I'm subscribed to, you are in my top 5. I really look forward to your content.

Whenever I am on my way to College for any exam I listen to your videos whenever I am angry or Irritated I watch your video. I have replaced music with your video and that was a very important change I needed in my life

It's interesting to me, because I feel more stressed with shorter videos. If I see a video is max 5 minutes I'm less likely to watch it. But I do what you said - I run videos in the background, but while doing things that still keep me pretty focused on the content (what I mean is, I'm not falling asleep to it or doing noisy things). But yeah. Long form is the best.

I love the pace of your videos it gives me time to absorb and reflect on what you are saying. So many KZfaqrs I have to put the speed down where I get so irritated because they talk so damn fast. I want to absorb what they're saying and I want to see the things they put on the screen and it's on the screen for a blip and they're talking so fast that I barely registered that I missed something it's very frustrating. I find the pace of your videos to be perfect

Idk about many people but when I watch his videos I always pause them to really think through the concepts and ideas. But in today’s day and age I don’t usually do that because either it is useless info or stuff I already know. I really appreciate aperture for how wise he is he just makes the stupid stuff really obvious that there dumb. Thanks aperture for being one of the only ones

We appreciate your dedication and hard work. You'll always have our support.

100% oversimulation affects me negatively. I tend to crash pretty hard after work because of the fact I usually have something running in the background as I work, combined with phone distractions and other distractions. I've been trying to go back to some of the things I used to enjoy as a teen (reading, drawing primarily) as a way to force myself to slow down. I've also noticed I've been favoring creators that take a slower approach to their content lately too, and longer form content. I noticed that jumping from one 10 minute youtube video to another over the course of even an hour can mentally exhaust me and that longer TV shows and movies don't do that as much. My attention span for reading is back to about where it was about a decade ago, when I was fresh out of high school. For a while, all I had the patience for was shorter novella types of works that were basically only fluff because that was all I had the mental capacity for.

It's not boring, it's steady. Too much content these days is like an assault on the senses and its nice to have something more relaxed

My life is already a boring nightmare. So much so that it just makes me hate the internet. And its only going to get worse when people choose to live in the virtual reality over the physical one. Life just feels so strange.

Slow paced videos (anything thing really) is preferred in this high paced hellscspe. Thank you 🎉

Really appreciate you brother, Thank you for these. Thank you for the time you put in, the value always comes through.

your videos are not boring, they just don't hit that "DOPAMINE PEAK" for those reels scrollers... so they just can't be focused on your videos

Thank you for this video. I am impressed with how you can edit your video so much, and not keep it overstimulating.

Thank you for your service my guy. We need more people like you for sure.

Amazing video. Really enjoyed the visuals. Never payed attention to the visuals before, but this time when my complete attention was on the video, it was great. The points you made about skimming through books was very accurate. I worry about the short attention span. I'm glad you're making videos the way you want to ("relaxed." I wouldn't say boring). Youre acting the change you want to see in the world and thats fucking awesome.

Good point - Well made. Please keep doing what you do.

Excellent content, keep up the good work

I LOVE this everything in my life going so fast love to get a second of calmness with you videos

I really appreciate you for making these videos ❤❤

love everything about your videos. i am huge fan... they are deeply refreshing during these chaotic and ridiculous dystopic times.

Thank you for everything you do man. And please dont listen to the people who try to discourage you from doing what you love

I dont know if you are just one person or a team, but I love your videos. Usually I listen them 1 time and then revisit the same video after a few months to mature the ideias or to connect them with my own ideias. Keep them as they are, they are perfect.

I quite loved this video. Thank you.

I usually watch this kind of videos to fall asleep or something.but i had to watch and pay attention to this one till the end. Thanks

I want to say that I watch you at work make me feel in peace and relax. Ty.

Who said anything about you being boring or something? This, is quality content! This has to be slow. Keep doing what you're doing, please!

You do a great job honestly hearing your voice helps make your videos more grabbing (in a good way)

I watch your videos before my english tests to set up my mood.

Thank you for making these videos and changing our lives for the better.

I have never found your videos boring. They help me focus when I’m working on a project. The subject and speed helps me to pay passive attention without getting overwhelmed or totally tuning out. I think your context is excellent.

i really love this style of video! its slow and makes me stay and focus completely. although i dont enjoy the stock footage (id rather something like a voiceover of chill minecraft gameplay or a timelapse or something, but its better tha;he high retetion sutff out there. keep it up!

you are literally my favorite. you calm my mind. thank you 🫡

2.21 million subs and claims they’re boring… lol. I know it’s just click bail titling but we all know these aren’t boring. They’re relaxing and insightful

LOVE your vids...so enlightening they really force me to think. #nofreewill

I LOVE content like this, I see so many people, even my parents and sister nowadays that they just keep scrolling on their phones. I've uninstalled Instagram and Tiktok for 3 years now and I don't regret it in the slightest. I also like to watch educational videos to learn something instead of watching braindead memes all day.

I love this channel. Weird I don't know your name or all that much about you, but I love the lo-fi nature of the videos.

Bro, I've honestly and started watching allot of your videos since January started due to my realisation that the attention span of my family, friends, strangers and even myself were shortening. I've actually come from far and still have a ways to go with fixing myself but I actually find your videos way more intriguing than boring ❤

These videos are far from boring. I typically listen to Alux videos and some others while doing other tasks, but I save yours for when I have time to sit down and enjoy them. It's a treat to block out everything else for 15-20 minutes while I immerse myself in thought and reflection with your videos. They help me maintain my sanity.

Your videos are so interesting to me i learn a lot from them❤️❤️

Your videos and others like your's are a break in the hyper retentive content that is out there in the main space of things online. People with (as you said) this virtue of patients, or maybe just a curiosity are watching your stuff because it's well written and effortfully touching on topics that are relevant and interesting.

nah, your videos are interesting. the stuff you say keeps us hooked & i love questioning my beliefs & philosophies which you so kindly offer & the "dullness" of these videos as you say it, puts me in a relaxed mood & calm my overstimulated & overthinking senses down

Since I found you, you have been my favourite channel on KZfaq! ❤️

Your videos are calm and relaxing.

I love your videos! Don't switch up on us. My high-strung self finds these videos interesting, food for thought, intellectually stimulating, and very unique. I can not say I have ever come across another channel that speaks about the topics, in depth, like you. Some of my favorites are your "shower thoughts." The videos may not be for everyone, but they'll be OK. There's plenty of choices to better suit them.

I always watch to the end my friend! (Except the hour plus long ones)

Yessir bro I’m glad we’re all waking up to the negatives of the digital era. Thank you for spreading awareness and helping maintain a balance!

Exceptional, informative content and awesome presentation style ♥️✌️🇮🇪

We could just watch a boring video that's boring. Just trying to thank you for efforts. I am always wanting see in a different way.

Bro I listen to ur videos while traveling for college, really helps me to cope with the shitty public transport service

Keep up the good work. I find the slower approach better. Some of us like to think & assess whilst listening. Super-fast vids are poison. The advertisers' trick. I blame tik-tok. Carry on.

I can listen to you for hours. Thankyou

Assalamualaikum brother, just so that you know you are not at all boring, infact you are one of my favourite channel. Your voice is filled with authenticity and your work has strongly influenced me. 26/M/Berlin. Thanks

I like nice long quiet videos. You get an opportunity to really absorb what you’re watching.

This dude was smoothe with it. Keep making cool shit 👍

Your videos are not boring or dull to me at all. They can't be compared to the barrage of hyped up repetitive idiocy that is dominating KZfaq and everywhere else. Most of the channels I follow are a lot more meaningful, educational,and original. This catches my attention and I find your videos calm and de-stress me when I come home from my fast paced job. It allows me to collect myself and listen to something I'd rather be interested in. Many are too impatient and always rushed. I appreciate the slower pace and different perspectives on things. T.Y.

Thank you so much, you're videos are like a breath of fresh air. It's what keeps me coming back and watching every time you post, just like you said.

Your voice is calming that's why I keep on coming

To be honest, i used to watch your channel only to improve my english (im from spain), but the message of this video is really great!

I always come back to this channel, and Apeture never disappoints

ur voice is calming ngl, when i was like 10 i would alway watch your shower thoughts videos to go to sleep

The type of videos you create has inspired me to start my own KZfaq channel. In the beginning, I used to believe that I needed to focus on hyper-retention editing. However, after months of watching your channel, I've come to realize that when you want to connect with the hearts and minds of your audience, a calm approach is essential for people to truly understand the message you're conveying.

not sure what video ive watched of yours before but i know your videos are soothing to me

Love your videos ❤

Been watching you since 2020, I always search u up on youtube at night, u help me relax😂😂😂😂❤❤❤

I don't mind the slow pace videos I actually find your videos really interesting

Your videos are the best!

Ive never thaught of the videos as boring or even slightly less entertaining but calming

Your videos put me to sleep in a soothing way :D

Your videos aren’t boring at all. They are very insightful, and the subjects aren’t just rehashed content from other videos, though sources are cited within them. The videos you posted about language was I think the first one I saw. People don’t realize just what an achievement we’ve made as a species. For myself, words are especially important. I see much of the world through spoken word, The pace is helpful tbh. I have temporal lapse epilepsy and am hard of hearing to take in information from a video, I sometimes have to run a section back or 5 times when I’m listening. The pace and quietness of the background make it easier to turn the volume up without getting the the frick scared outta me because the material went from quiet to volume loud enough to wake the dead in the cemetery down the road I live on. Again, your work is awesome. There will always be criticism but as a creator on here, you have your own methods in a way distinct from others. That’s ok.

This format is my favorite type. I sleep with this channel playing on whatever queue I’d play it on.

Plot twist: your video is more interesting than 90% of my KZfaq feed, especially the video about "Everything we don't know". And my favorite.. "Death" :]

Your content is amazing, your sponsors are incredibly exciting, and your channel is something special and unique. I cannot thank you enough for all the things youve brought me to ponder upon and try to implement and understand in my own life. I suggest you avoid listening to those who dissuade u from being this way and your channel to be this way. I cannot wait to see what more you upload. Keep going, bro.

You are my favorite KZfaqr (PBD and Joe Rogan on 2nd place). I was looking for you on X as well, but you are not there. 😊 Congratulations to your channel, but first of all to your life philosophy. 🎉❤

I love listening to your videos, and I try everyday to be more present and mindfull. My adhd however will not let me do it for longer then a few minutes before my whole body starts screaming at me to do something. I've worked on this my entire adult life. It sucks. Im not saying oh pity me, Im just saying it as it is. I tried now to watch your video without doing something else (I usually do picross in the evening to wind down and listen to your or someone elses video) and I lasted 3 minutes and 23 seconds before I physically couldnt take it anymore. I hate it. And the face that people are doing this to themselves is really sad, intentionally or not. Adhd isnt fun, its not a superpower. For a lot of us its a debilitating condition that affects everyday life to the extent that we are unable to function like and avarage adult should. Your slow pace made my skin itch in the beginning, now I love it. In that way you really helped me. Im the kind of person who speeds up audiobooks as to not lose focus. I've found however that I cant listen to these types of videos whenever. As I said, I do it in the evenings so calm down, to destress after the day is done. Otherwise the slow tempo stresses me out even more. And this is when Im on medication. Before I got meds i was just.. a complete mess. Now I can actually enjoy things again. :) Thanks for your awesome videos. Keep em coming

I actually really appreciate this

@10:56! That was epic! BUT what was even more EPIC. Was your playlist thumbnail below the video with the dude's eyes bugging out with all the "images" of the social media apps I'm the background! Made for some GREAT screenshots. (I really need to knock that shit off🤣. Got the habit from playing Ingress years ago. And it's great for crashing the FB app! But you obviously allready know that. Haha)

This is, seriously, one of *the finest* general/sci-tech channels on KZfaq. Your videos are absolutely NOT boring.

I love the videos you produce and heavily agree with many of the statements that you make. I was wondering where do you find your research papers and are there specific topics or categories you directly follow to be constantly updated on such types of information, for example the research paper mentioned in the video that discussed the avergae length of an atttention span. Thank you for producing content that is pleasing yet so thoughtful and educational and have a great day!

Don't worry, I was churning out my lab notes while listening to your boring video. Thanks and keep on talking!

More than boring its relaxing for me. I watch your videos when I want to unwind after a rough day.
