    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.

      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.

        There is so much to choose from.
