Do you get annoyed by extra stimulation in videos?

[Lynx122]

I was watching this video about the history of food coloring and why it's taking so long for it to get banned and stuff and I thought it was interesting but then they constantly had to insert these noises and stuff they'd show cereal being poured into bowls and it was quite loud and they really made sure for these noises to stand out as much as possible in the audio track it was like piercing you couldn't just ignore it and listen to the woman talking. And so I had to stop watching the video. Because I am online a lot and I like absorbing information but I'm not brain rotted that I need constant distraction during a video. If someone is talking, I'm interested in what they're talking about and they're a decent speaker, that's enough. I don't need anything else.

Do you like it? Need it? Or do you dislike it?

I am always playing video games, or writing or anything while on YouTube or watching a show so yeah, but not from the video it's self I guess.

I only really focus on watching something without such distraction if the show is really good. Bleach was something I started watching while playing then finally got to TYBW and now I can't watch it without taking my eyes off.

As to YouTube the only thing I've watched on there without a distraction is Avalanche Reviews as I love watching all the scenes of those games as he goes through ya know Silent Hill etc.

Also this way of doing something else always is just more effective. I can get two things done at once.

was about that Red Dye color they just banned?

it's been banned all over the world for decades... and they don't trust it for women to put on their lipstick... but the agencies are fine to put it in candy for kids to eat...

[Lynx122]

Yes :)

[NathanDavis]

what really makes my brain itchy... is when two people keep talking to me at the same time, lol...

[sage2021]

Yes! It's definitely a big distraction and I feel like sometimes it is sensory overload!

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I'm annoyed by unnecessary sounds, unnecessarily theatrical tones of voice, unnecessary aggressive video cuts... So yeah, I wouldn't survive in USA nor Japan, lol

What I don't like is obnoxious music in commercials. Why can't commercials have pretty music? They're not making a very good impression. They just make people want to turn off their commercial as quickly as possible.

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

They do have "pretty" music for their target audience, and only for this one, in general

[Jamie05rhs]

@Maybe_Maybe_not Can you explain?

[Maybe_Maybe_not]

I mean advertisement is rather a rational business, they know what works, what sells, for whom it makes a good impression. When you get a bad impression from an ad then it's because your profile is not targeted

[Jamie05rhs]

Hmm. Well, I think they're making a bad impression on everyone. Which is one reason why television ratings have plummeted.
