I used to wonder that and my new theory is that this is just another form of ad fraud.

One of the features of YouTube premium is turning off the screen while playing, but if viewers are worth more than listeners then this is also a way for them to charge viewership prices for a listening audience.

FWIW, I find it dark and depressive and not the least bit horny.

If my face looked like that I would simply not go on TV

Easy to enjoy Spartan-freude for us here at home, but shoutout to this guy whose quiet moment of enjoying Izzo-failure was caught on national TV.

Starting to feel bad for Fears, man has never committed a foul in his life and it's all just so UNFAIR

Because there are exiting consumer opportunities we all need to learn about over and over and over and over and...

Impressive how Michigan-MSU is one of the best men's hoops rivalries yet also one of the worst football rivalries.

You get the impression that Fears goes down like he's been mauled by a bear if someone touches his game piece in trivial pursuit

I was just pondering the timing of that surgery and, yeah, dunno, seems odd

Just did a quick look at epguides and I'd say ep3 is probably a good decision point. If you're not into it after that one, then maybe bail.

It's all supposed to be working class music from later times (I think). I had the same reaction initially, but it fits really well once you get sucked into the show.

These YTTV 'zen' placeholders are much less aggravating that actual commercials, but I'm afraid the effects are limited in games like this.

In Worcester, MA in the 1700s, the Chandler family had run the town and its offices for generations.

As the Revolution picked up, a bunch of locals led by the town blacksmith took over and then made the Chandlers apologize to the entire county's militia companies before they fled to England.
