YouTube is not only spiritual BS and conspiracy thrash!

Many many informative videos on repairing, building, and creating thins and objects to save money and time among other benefits!!!

If you Cut off your nose to spite your face, you are one ugly shit face idiotic fool!!!

I use it when I need to see a process, otherwise written instructions work better. I use it for music when I'm in the mood.

I've uploaded a lot of things to YouTube. Mostly the videos of political protests, rallies, and debates.

It's very unusual for me to watch videos on YouTube. Sometimes I get a whim to hear a particular song and I find it there.

@Varn covered a lot of my feelings about YouTube. I don't often use it for music except to check out artists I'm interested in, but when I want cheered up, I can listen to one of the many Christopher Hitchens debates on there, and it's shown me how to repair everything from my deck to a vintage pearl clutch. Sure, there are often diagrams or instructions online, but they aren't always very good. I usually view the video first, and then I can always just pause it at a difficult place.

I rarely watch you tube. I scroll right past the links. If I want to share music, I’ll get the you tube link and post it, buh...because I have to. But I use Amazon music, so I don’t ever even watch/listen to music on you tube.

Damn - YouTube is my main source for ..about everything… When I had full access to Netflix, Hulu, and regular TV ..I kept pulling away, feeling like a hostage to whatever they’d force me to sit through, if ads included.

I kept ending up at YouTube … where I could choose what I wanted to watch, learn, or experience. Really obscure stuff, too! It’s algorithms would bring up even more interesting stuff ...seemingly endless..

I’ve found some ‘channels,’ or folks who post their hobbies, household projects, or jobs that I find fascinating. You can give them a ‘like,’ even leave comments about what you just viewed, they’ll even answer!

Music? - damn - documentaries and interviews allowing me to finally ‘get to know’ artists I’d never have imagined learning about.. Watched a doc on Deep Purple’s making of Machine Head last night … with those guys older than myself, it was fascinating! Why’d they pick that name, why didn't they realize Smoke On The Water was ‘their hit’? Stuff like that..

You can pause to piss, answer a phone … or pick it up days later. Ads aren’t that annoying. On my smart TV, they really give you a break with the ads, very easy to skip ahead ..one click. You can easily repeat anything you didn’t catch - or, kill the feed on anything annoying or obnoxious ..give it a ‘thumbs down!’ Though most my feedback is positive..

Ditched my TV feeds, so other than having missed most of the live primary debates (maybe a good thing?), I do not miss it, or Netflix, which I also gave up; have Hulu ...but never use it.. Man, you get the best cuts from SNL, everything ‘late night’ by segments - don’t have to wait.. I can watch a guy weld steel plates to his container castel roof … or Steve Martin do King Tut

...wouldn’t be - couldn’t be without it.. Not arguing with you, and perhaps I’m speaking from the perspective of someone having lived so deep in the woods/ hills … lacking ‘high speed internet,’ thus incapable of watching YouTube, or MTV ..in the day, it’s still new and amazing to me - and I’m loving it ~

I prefer reading to watching utube

Like you I use for videos of music or odds and ends. I do sometimes use it for a detailed explanation of some technical issue where a visual explanation works better than just text.
