Some things that make it very annoying to me:
- She complains whenever she can’t find certain movies
- She usually searches using the complete video title in the search bar, it’s usually something like: Movie name - Complete Movie - Dubbed - Pirate Site or Uploader - Genre
- She has a list of saved movie/video titles in a .docx file, where she also writes whether she liked the movie or not. Whenever a YT search shows something she thinks she’ll be interested, she copies the title to the doc.
- Will usually use that same search on Netflix, or continue typing and adding more despite no search results showing already.
- Complains about video/audio quality
- Complains when there’s no dubbed version
- Complains when the “movie” is just a trailer repeating for 1 hour
- Seems to willfully ignore my explanations to why searching for and watching full movies on YT sucks (it’s pirate content on a platform that doesn’t allow piracy)
- Ignores some 🏴☠️ alternatives I’ve set up, because “there’s nothing interesting there”
- “Forgets” anything I teach her about searching and search terms in 5 minutes
To be fair, most of the movies she “wants” to watch aren’t available on any streaming services. Feels like I’m dealing with the world’s worst pirate.
I’ve taught her the same things several times over. I’m not joking or using hyperbole. I’ve had her write down instructions herself about some things, like how to take screenshots and save images (she wrote that down three times, because she threw away the first 2 notebooks) - despite this, she still copies the image from Paint to Word in order to save it.
Is she forgetful in other ways, too? Could be there’s an underlying issue.
Not really, she was always very resistant to using computers. The real irony is that nowadays she spends most of her retired free time playing Hidden City and Jewels of Rome, despite me never showing her how to browser MS Store (she installed both from W10’s start menu ads)
Most couldn’t be bothered with your instruction they will just stick to the way they have invented
