📚 The Prompt 📚 How do you choose and organize your booktube watching? - Where do you browse videos? Home, Subscriptions, Channel pages, or somewhere else? - Do you add videos to queue/watch later/playlists or just click and watch? - What factors into your decisions to watch or add to playlist? - What order do you watch? By date published, date added, by channel, type of video, or some other priority? - Are there types or factors in videos that you skip?
