If you’ve gone through every SVU episode and/or Holocaust documentary on Netflix, and you’re looking for something new to binge-watch, search no further than the Charles Gross YouTube channel. Charles Gross is a wealthy, 20 year-old New Yorker who uploads daily videos to YouTube on topics ranging from his Grindr hookups to his vast collection of perfumes and Birkins. What separates Charles from the typical YouTuber is his candid personality and honesty on even the most personal of topics (see: one night stands, family income, secrets of the NYC prep school scene, etc.). All of his uploads offer an entertaining look into the life of one of Manhattan’s “elite,” while still coming from a relatable, personable source. Another positive aspect of his videos are their length. While some uploads are only five minutes, a majority of Charles’ content is 25+ minutes long, making his work the ideal background noise for cooking, getting ready in the morning, or falling asleep at night. You should be warned, however, that while his “girl talk” informality is vastly addicting, it may not be for you if you’re easily offended by profanity or blunt sarcasm (or believe that Michael Kors is a good decision--ever). Even still, I think you should definitely give Charles a try if you’re looking for an escape from the stresses of “normal person” life!
