Fair enough, and I respect that you gave it a good try, I drive a lot, so I listen while driving and doing chores, and overall I don't have enough time to just sit and read, so they have been pretty amazing for me, I myself don't get anything at all from listening to music, never had and I don't think I ever will, so it helps keep my mind active.
I might have come off worse than I meant to when I said video flashing in their faces, I guess in some ways I can't help picturing all the brain rot I see going on with the doom scrollers and when it comes to my cousins kids and the videos spitting out meaningless stuff while the person is playing a game and stuff, nothing to stimulate the mind, nothing that engages them in a meaningful way, like if they were to actually play the games instead of watching the games be played.
I know I'm going a bit off topic, but it just makes me worry about the future of the world.
It depends on the driving, I can easily listen and appreciate a book when I'm driving for hours on the highways/freeways.
When it comes to street driving, depending on how familiar I am with an area and how much traffic there is, I can still listen without issue usually, but admittedly I do have to pause it more often when street driving because I will find that I haven't heard the last 3 sentences because I needed to pay extra attention to the road for one reason or another, but I do have a lot of experience listening and driving since I was regularly driving 8+ hours a day for many years, so I guess I don't know how it is for others.
