Honest question, what are y’all doing on YouTube most days?
I go on about once or twice a month when I need to repair a thing and I can’t find a good written description of how to repair it.
Also I visited the other day to make sure my bluetooth headphones were connected before a call (I watched a video of goats doing goat things for 4s).
I’m curious what content is drawing in folks on Lemmy who probably skew towards my demographic.

I follow people talk about life, improving themselves, learning things.
You cant go by the most watched or recommended content, that stuff is pure garbage.

I mainly just use it to watch content of few YouTubers that play timberborn and oxygen not included(Echoridgegaming) and then some vtuber stuff and daily dose of internet. Using ublock and sponsor block. Looked a bit into peertube but think I had harder time finding stuff but that was few years back so stuff might have changed. Are there any good alternatives? Sadly YouTube is kinda the go to place for content and streaming.

I wonder this all the fucking time.
YouTube has been a huge contributor to the lack of useful written knowledge online.
Which would be cool if any of googles search functionality worked anywhere and video wasn’t a god awful fucking medium for learning everything.
Pause. Try a thing. Get behind. Pause. Rewind… play. Pause. Play. Pause.
Even typing this out pisses me the fuck off.

honestly i hate podcasts and most peoples personalities are too irritating for me to stick with one source of news, philosophy, educational content etc. YouTube does make it really easy for me to be exposed to new people to hear from and new topics for me to dive into better than reddit or lemmy or other boards which hyperfocuses usually on specific subjects

The Linux experiment (news), Technology connections (deep dive tech), real civil engineer (video games), Göran Winblad (running), House of hypertrophy (bodybuilding science), Just have a think (climate news) and the occasional garbage.
I mostly listen to YouTube thanks to revanced, it’s pretty good for chores.

I had trouble getting it going but once I got SmartTubeNext up and running on my android tv I began watching “YouTube” more than anything. It’s almost got anything you want on it except new movies and TV shows. I watch news, gaming stuff, put music on in the background, comedy. It’s got it all. I highly recommend SmartTubeNext as it skips all ads and even cuts out the sponsored segments of videos. A truly wonderful way to get YouTube content without having to sit through ads.

some niche videos, videos of shows i never watched but have interest in, clips are satisfactory enough.
