Trains

[poptones]

Every night I seem to find myself watching train videos on youtube. I try to stop, I try watching kittens play and then some wise guy at youtube sticks a link to a train video in there.

It's like it knows.

"Hey, watch me make this guy click a train video."

Then, five minutes later, I realize I could just drive over to the track crossing and wait, or I can watch here anytime. It's like trains on demand. "Hey, check it out. I can have all the fun of waiting on a train crossing right here in my own living room."

while i do not understand your love of watching trains... i can contribute that youtube uses either your account or local cookies to keep track of what videos you have watched and will slip in links to ones similar to your popular subjects even when drastically off topic (link to mythbusters while watching op amp theory)

Yeah, if you watch videos about X you will find lots more videos about X in your random search results.

While you may always end up watching train videos, I generally end up on product reviews :S Of stuff I don't even want to buy!

I always end up watching sacriel's DayZ videos, then i have no time left to play the actual game myself

That game is just a hiking simulator with bits and pieces of redneck thrown in
