Resource gathering
Can be in itself entertaining and is a good way to find yourself in the right culture. Everybody is aware of the decline in the quality of mainstream entertainment and the spam that these large media companies spread on YouTube to ruin the search and the videos they have shutdown to try to keep you locked in. However despite the search spam on sites such as YouTube, there still exists millions of channels and millions of other video sites. I think it will be a humorous and interesting thing to watch them to try spread themselves so thin to keep up with just a few people armed with the tools to be amused and satisfied.
