Ask HN: Anyone else been watching YouTube videos of crowds since pandemic?

4 pointssigmaprimus2 comments

I have been finding myself watching an unusual amount of concert footage on YouTube lately. In particular 1985 Live Aid footage, and feeling nostalgia for it. Strange thing is I really didn't go to very many concerts in the past.

I'm wondering if it is a "You don't appreciate what You have until it's gone." or if I'm being influenced by a YouTube algorithm.

Well, after a bit of contemplating...it is definitely the crowds as I just switched to the World Darts Championship and whatever it is I'm feeling, I'm getting it from watching Darts too. I've never been to a Darts match before!

Although I must admit, the production value of Darts tourneys is bar none....ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY!!!!!

LoL, just bought a dart board and darts on Amzn Prime Day...maybe that was the plan all along?
