I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been trying to complete projects or homework and instead have just gotten completely derailed by watching Vsauce and trash crusher videos. Throughout my forays into the digital attention trap that is YouTube, I have managed to compile a list of comedy sketches, unique music videos, compelling horror...
