If you are doing genuinely good things, and making the world better, I don't give a fuck why you're doing it. You want recognition and attention, so what. You're just doing it, because your friends are idgaf, you feel pressured from other people, who cares. We can spend so much time tearing apart motives and guess what, it doesn't matter, and most of the people screaming, "They're just doing it for attention!", aren't doing jack shit. We don't need to wait to do good things for the "right reasons", we can just do them. And we can most definitely shut up, about why other people are.

(But yes, that's because I was born early enough to have experienced it and to want it back)
Or you can use a tool to play multiple videos side by side.
4k can fit loads of SD videos side by side!
It does work; I vastly improved my English using that method (amongst others).
But in my experience, it only works if you understand enough of the language that you can get the basic structure of what is being said. Otherwise you can't focus on the written and spoken languages at the same time.
I agree with @joostvb 's recommendation to watch subtitled children's videos. Those usually have sentence structures that are simpler and therefore easier to understand.
That's not true for those who were resuscitated at one point in their life more recently then half a lifetime ago.
No, probably not. I only started to do that once I was able to follow basic conversions in the target language.
If you're too much of a beginner, I don't think using subtitles is the best way of learning a language, also because subtitles are not always 100% accurate
