I'm at the point where I prefer to rewatch shows or movies, and reread books, rather than try something new. The closest I can think to describe it is like slipping into a warm bath. Very cosy.
Lately, I've been working though my film library picking a film from each letter of the alphabet. It encourages me to watch something new, or at least something I may not have seen in the last decade - because it could be a while before I loop back around, so I don't want to throw away the letter!
(Not the person you originally replied to) I forget things no matter how important or interesting they are to me, I have to make serious efforts to remember most things.
I browse YT more than I probably should, and the number of times I've seen the same video recommended, sometimes even the same day, is far too high. I have watched and rewatched videos again and again because YT puts them into the auto-play crap, and I forgot to turn that off and feel asleep on the couch while it was playing something unrelated.
YT also seems to get aggro about making sure I watch some videos. Like, there's some creators that put out some really good stuff usually, but when they put out a video I genuinely don't care about the subject of, then I avoid that video. But it's always in my recommended videos, and usually first in line on any auto-play on YT for weeks. It's like, I've passed over this video 50 times, but you think I'm suddenly going to find interest in this topic on the 51st time you show me that the video exists?
