This is a strange opinion, YouTube has an insane amount of content for just about everyone. There’s so many fantastic creators and it has just about the best edutainment content anywhere. Terribly managed and the platform itself sucks, but there’s an incredible amount of amazing content on there for free.
I am not sure I need “content” in my life. I can waste time in a lots of ways. I always found myself thinking what am I getting out of this really?
Also, there is just so much on it, where would one even begin? I miss youtube when it started out, now that people make things for money, the idea is to just stretch things out and waste time. Like and Subscribe!
I made it a point to never subscribe to anything unless it was anonymous through a third party tool.
So, what do you think is actually “fantastic” on youtube?
Hey I don’t think anyone really needs content - it’s just something we like.
As for what I like on there: Joe Scott, Andrew Huang, Ahoy, Philosophy Tube, Drew Gooden, Comicstorian, Drawfee, Hagerty, Engineering Explained, Throttle House, Tier Zoo, Foureyes Furniture, FUNKe, HiTop Films, In The Mix, Noodle, Internet Shaquille, LEMMiNO, Michael Reeves, MrMobile, Nakey Jakey, ReDriven, Not Just Bikes, Sarah-n-Tuned and I’m kinda tired of more names. But each of these is one of my great top tiers, and it’s so awesome that there’s this many (and more) people on there making great content.
It’s okay to not want to engage in that though, I do get that.
Wow, I gotta say I asked and you delivered some ideas! Thanks for that I actually will check them out.
Its like youtube is so vast it is daunting to discover.
I wonder if, for me, the fact that you tube never transitioned from computer to TV. If I am on my computer I am already doing something, so I am less likely to watch anything. It just never occurs to me, and when I am at a TV are already have a million things vying for my attention that it never occurs to me to go to youtube.
Ah I see, that makes a lot of sense. I don’t really watch tv, I pull out my phone when I eat food. Or I’m studying on my laptop and youtube is easy when I take a break. I guess computers are so portable now it’s really easy for me to hop on youtube rather than pay subscriptions or find torrents and go through a show.
A lot of my work also involves just sight and some mental power so having youtube running on a second monitor where I can glance occasionally keeps me going much longer than I would otherwise.
I go for the science communicators. Not only are the good ones super educational and entertaining, but you also don’t even need to watch to gain from it. Just listen. I weld 45+ hours a week. Being able to throw on a 3 hour video on whatever I’m interested in that day is great :) but to each their own of course ^^. For my part I’ll enjoy it until it’s unbearable.
i got for those to, other SOME syndicated/professional science videos, or independant channels usually the people are young british people that are working to becoming a researcher in thier field(paleontology, biology,etc). occasionally you get some cringe comments from right wingers(its either wokeness, or something political)
I hear you about listening to stuff. I have a collection of podcasts to listen to and thinking about all the things I have learned over the years, its amazing.
That’s true of everything on the internet these days though. I don’t think they overshadow the good, I think it’s more important than ever to seek out and appreciate the good.
the original good content, science, stems, PETS and then Movies and show clips. not certain kinds of Influencers content like beast, sniperwolf, pewpewdie
Well, duh. I don’t spend much time on youtube, what is there worth watching? Not much.
So can I do without looking up some nostalgic crap from the past? Yeah I could live without it.
I am finding out now, as youtube keeps demanding that I sign in. Fuck off, aint nothing worth that.

There is so much to choose from.
there are alot of good ones, but theres alot fo bad ones that overshadow the others. PROPAGANDA, AI, and other forms of slop.

Haven’t heard a pewdiepie mention in years, but yeah, I agree. Add comedy and cars to the mix too though.
