Yeah I guess it’s probably not realistic for most factory jobs. I am just thinking that “get paid $20 an hour to do a simple task and watch YouTube/listen to music” is actually kind of appealing to many people.

Having worked at a very simple factory job that involved hot-pressing plastic-aluminium film into shapes, yeah, that would end badly. It's unskilled job, that doesn't mean it's mindless.

If you look away from your job you might lose a finger,.. or *gasp* even worse, stop production!

> Watching YouTube though?

Yeah, I can't make that work. Only my most routine work can be done with the TV on (and providing it's my 5th rewatch).
