Some things that make it very annoying to me:
- She complains whenever she can’t find certain movies
- She usually searches using the complete video title in the search bar, it’s usually something like: Movie name - Complete Movie - Dubbed - Pirate Site or Uploader - Genre
- She has a list of saved movie/video titles in a .docx file, where she also writes whether she liked the movie or not. Whenever a YT search shows something she thinks she’ll be interested, she copies the title to the doc.
- Will usually use that same search on Netflix, or continue typing and adding more despite no search results showing already.
- Complains about video/audio quality
- Complains when there’s no dubbed version
- Complains when the “movie” is just a trailer repeating for 1 hour
- Seems to willfully ignore my explanations to why searching for and watching full movies on YT sucks (it’s pirate content on a platform that doesn’t allow piracy)
- Ignores some 🏴☠️ alternatives I’ve set up, because “there’s nothing interesting there”
- “Forgets” anything I teach her about searching and search terms in 5 minutes
To be fair, most of the movies she “wants” to watch aren’t available on any streaming services. Feels like I’m dealing with the world’s worst pirate.

Not rude at all, and not the first time someone said something along those lines about my mom. I’ve heard the same from other relatives.

Ironically, you came here instead of asklemmy to complain about your mom.
