...why would I watch YouTube for entertainment though? Probably an episode of Doctor Who to catch up before the 23rd. Also, I own a television.
It's still baffles me that people still say that YouTube has been around for decades now. There is all sorts of interesting content creators. It is an old family guy reruns.
If you think YouTube is boring that's on you for not finding interesting content, and watching crap instead which means that the algorithm just offers you more crap.
Find what you're interested in and watch it and then the algorithm will start recommending other stuff along the same lines maybe subscribe to a few channels I think I'm literally subscribed to hundreds of channels. I barely ever watched stuff the algorithm suggests any more because I found pretty much a constant stream of good quality content creators.
Far more interesting youtube creators than almost everything on television, esp. after the writer strike. Less commercials, skip capability, que capability. Television has been obsolete for many of us for over a decade. I honestly don't understand why anyone still pays for cable unless they are over 70.
Personally I prefer documentaries, educational content and investigative journalism. YouTube excels for these genres, especially since PBS is primarily using YouTube these days.
Idk but I just realised my idea of entertainment are video essays, free online class courses, educational videos, movie critiques and cat videos
I stopped watching TV. YouTube is my TV nowadays (and Nebula). I still don't see ads on YouTube thankfully, and Nebula is paid for so they don't need ads.
