If only there was another option... kinda like a gal pal that would do that weird thing with the wisk and the cattleprod, and didn't try to show you their monster truck videos on a broken Galaxy 4.
Ah well, that must not exist, guess that's that.

I guess people don’t know the stand-up comedian Blair Socci yet. She’s kind of funny but I have a feeling this was an idea for a joke that isn’t fully formed. A lot of comedians use social media to workshop their stuff…
Showing me the weird shit you watch on YouTube is a requirement for me, I want to know what videos you watch when you're alone and bored with nothing to do.
I hope you like documentaries about completely random shit from politics of a foreign nation over 300 years ago, to how an obscure campaign of a war over a hundred years ago was fought, a full biography of a fictional character and what events they may have been witness to, to a plethora of asmr things as background noise, engineering deep dives and video game related content.
Its not about me liking it, its about knowing about what intensely interests you, but that just sounds like a conversation with my mate, so I'm in for that.

There's this nifty feature on phones now where you can send a link to the other person's phone. My wife and I text each other stuff from the internet all day long.
What's wrong with men's phones? Is she afraid of fucking cooties?
Its cool, we can watch them on the TV instead
Babe, wake up! NEW ROMAN AQUEDUCTS LORE JUST DROPPED!
But then you get to show him all your videos on your phone
babe wake up new 3 and a half hour video essay about plagiarism just dropped
You lied to me. This will make me reevaluate our current relationship. You have gone from stranger to 'take with a grain of salt' stranger.
And I don't want to be made to watch TikTok videos.
Fortunately TikTok broke their mobile website, so nobody can share links with you and expect you to watch them if you don't have the app, and I make it abundantly clear that I'll never install that trash.
There's plenty other reasons that disqualify me from marriage but sharing videos on my phone is not one of them
My wife shows me wayyyy more videos on her phone than I show her on mine
Most of the stuff I share is still images/comics/gifs etc
Mine shares reels, every 19 seconds she has something new to show.
I try to share useful information from youtube but she doesn't have the attention span to watch them anymore.
So it's a one way road and i'm trying my best to just nod and smile at the reels while keeping focus on the information i'm trying to contain from the long form video. It's a bloody warzone sometimes, "hey, look haha. Hey, look haha. Hey, look haha"...can you give me 10 minutes please? And then she's pissed at me.
Short form content...i want my old wife back, can you please remove yourself from existence. You ruined her.
Same. It takes a very special video to get me to turn my sound on. Definitely more of a static content feller
Astonishing that there are dipshits who managed to be offended even by this.
I showed this to my girlfriend and she was like, "I don't get it, why are you showing this to me?"
If i know you and you're in my general vicinity youre gonna be watching a YouTube video even if you're married to someone else i'm a slut that way
So just get married, and watch videos on your wife's phone.
I got married even though it meant waiting for every restaurant meal to be photographed and posted to Instagram before I could take a bite.
We are not going out to eat often if I gotta wait for the perfect photo. You better get the waiter to take you back to the kitchen if you want snapshots of the food before I see it and take a bite.
One of those moments when I'm glad my wife cares almost as little about social media as I do.

Nah, I'm too Gen X to watch videos on my phone, let me pull it up on my laptop.
Videos are a big screen activity.
Have you really lived until you have watched a hour long marble race while cuddling
For me it's more that youtube videos are a browser with an ad blocker activity.
Firefox for mobile with your chosen ad-blocker
I've found the venn diagram of those who most frequently try to get me to watch videos on their phone, and the people who watch said videos in a third-party browser on a device that supports extensions, is just two distant circles. Your mileage may vary.

I believe, it's possible to marry women, then you don't have to watch videos on a man's phone. 🙃
"I either don't want people to be interested in or excited about things or I want to gatekeep how they gain their interests"
My wife tells me dad jokes. Really really terrible dad jokes. Ones that make me roll my eyes, and I'm a dad. That's how bad they are. But they make her laugh so I'm ok with that.
i have a tip to get back at her. whenever her phone rings, make sure you say 'its for you'. i still find this hilarious after 15 years . she is less amused, but at least im entertained.

My Chinese girlfriend makes me watch Chinese Xiahongshu (think Instagram reels) videos on her phone with a cracked screen with her. No, I do not understand Chinese.

Casual sexism is so cute and quirky.
It is when it's against men 💅💅💅
Also removed’s and removed’s and removed’s, am I right fellow non-bigot?

It's not gendered behaviour though; not even stereotypically. Works just as well if you flip the genders.
