2nd episode of the What If It Were Good Tho? show now live. I don't know if anyone wants to hear 17 minutes of me ranting about why microwaves should have knobs, but if you do, it's here: youtube.com/watch?v=qy6BOQ…

I'm not being self-deprecating with the previous comment—I make these videos primarily for my own catharsis, and any benefit gleaned by anyone else is bonus. Having said that! Someone apparently got a lot out of my previous one 😮
It delights me enormously to have this outlet for my frustration with how things aren't designed. How afaict nobody even asks "what if it were good tho?" about most aspects of their products. Part of what I'm enjoying is the low production quality. One shot, no edits. No nada.
Despite YouTube becoming a place where incredibly-well-produced, mixed, master, scripted or professionally-improvised content is now hosted... ...you can actually still just record a video of yourself ranting and upload it!
