Basically:

  1. Find a Youtube Channel / TV Series

  2. Binge watch it all quickly

  3. Bored again

  4. Spend a lot of time looking up stuff to watch, but nothing looks interesting

  5. Repeat

Usually stuck on Step 4 longer than actually watching something, so I just browse news/reddit/lemmy or read random wikipedia articles until I find something to watch.

How do y’all do Step 4 correctly? How do y’all find stuff that’s interesting to watch?

    Have a Kodi add-on setup integrated with trakt and custom widgets. So whenever I load up Kodi I get a feed of

    • New episodes for shows I already watch as soon as they air
    • New trending shows (in descending order of current viewers)
    • Newest shows on steeamers like Netflix, Amazon, Apple, BBC (which depend on the fine folk whom add them to trakt lists)
    • Recommended shows from trakt

    And then a separate similar set of widgets for movies. I find the trakt recommendations include a lot of old movies too. So if I can’t find anything I want from the feeds of new stuff, I just pull up the trailer for one of the old movies I’m recommended and take a punt on it if I’m interested.

    For YouTube I just use the recommendation algorithms (delivered via SmartTube)
