If you're not familiar with it, the novel Infinite Jest involves a video that is so compelling viewers will not stop watching it. They literally atrophy and die in their armchairs because the video is so amusing they cannot turn away.
Watching YouTube could get like that for me, so I have to limit my intake. I generally only watch videos that come from producers I already know and like, or ones that I read about in blogs or have recommended to me personally. If I started surfing YouTube haphazardly, I MIGHT NEVER STOP!
But that shouldn't prevent you from visiting YouTube and searching out the next new viral sensation. I've put together this YouTube Viewers Guide to help you sort through the millions of videos on the site and find the ones that are most appealing to you. Because with something as big as YouTube, you need to go in with a plan or you could get lost and never come out!
