personally i can’t stand it when it’s something i tune in for only for the content and they insist on putting themselves in there to build their own brand or whatever.

it’s like, “dude i came for the fucking spider, show me the fucking spider.”

Scrolling down there page when the host is staring at you so you can listen to them (and see the bug on the table) without the eye contact

I don't have autism but I've totally done this. No problems with most YouTubers but I find some of them....unsettling

A quick way to break eye contact is to scroll.
