My interaction with YouTube is pretty much the search bar at the top. I generally only go to YouTube when there is something specific that I want to watch/listen to: a specific song or video, etc. So there’s little reason for me to subscribe to anything.

I’ve been slowly working my way through Stargate, midway through season 3 right now. It’s almost refreshing how shamelessly they reuse old Star Trek plots and tropes, but it kind of works because the show doesn’t seem to take itself as seriously as Star Trek does either.
If you truly believe in jury nullification, you won’t mention it to the judge or prosecutor though…
