Social How entertaining is YouTube for you?

[Wrath of Foamy]

There is a lot of dross on YouTube and the censoring sucks, but it's also given people with legitimate talent a chance to shine, without them having to suck off anyone from the BBC.

I'm always discovering new content I like on YouTube.

I don't own a TV, haven't for over 10 years. YouTube is the first site I visit when I turn my laptop on, usually put stuff on for background noise while I scroll my phone.

Probably too entertaining in the fact that I frequently think I'll just watch a quick video after work before doing something else and then boom, it's 2 hours later.

It's awesome. It's also an overall more positive community than other social media

Your perception of it vs. other social media is only because youtube moderates/censors the shit out of the comment section these days.

It tends to be all I go on for viewing. I find it odd that nowadays I tend to view movie reviews over the movie, youtube has become way too convenient for me.

Kinda like asking "how entertaining TV is?". Very broad question. You can find anything about anything on YT stuff you like and stuff you hate regardless who you are. Its more like TV/Radio/Newspapers etc and less like a specific channel or paper.

When I'm on the computer I almost never don't have a YT tab open. Its sort of the "default" website thats the center of everything. And I don't think that just me.

Dave Portnoy sure has convinced a whole lot of people that flop is not desirable and his idea of a good slice is THE ideal slice still a fan

Yeah I pretty much have youtube running 24/7 in the background. It's a great site tbh, there is endless entertaining content popping up from a wide variety of genres. And I got Premium so I don't have to fuck with ads

Also being able to close the phone, & still have the audio running. That was the big gamechanger for me, that made premium worth it. That plus no ads. I wouldn't go back at this point.

Adblock doesn't let me close the phone and keep the audio playing though. That was the big one for me

And here is proof me not commercial:

Youtube's owner google still sucks ass

YouTube is this generation's cable TV, but without the 20 minutes of commercials per hour you're watching it.

 

[SKYNET]

basically ended TV and cable programming in my life.

old movies and sports otherwise Im on YT

I have better ad block. Use Pie. Best adblock.

Google does suck ass.

its a fantastic concept, i think the algo could use improvement and i think they purged at one time lots of great videos for copyright type of stuff so i gave an 8 but could be a 9+ if just not quite so much corporate influence

 

[Kardashians]

youtube entertains me more than i wish to admit to myself.

i follow fat train wrecks on there, most notably

amberlynn reid

and chantal/foodiebeauty (the more interesting of the two to me, just for her "crackhead olympics" arc, though now she's a muslim is kuwuit and its boring as hell.

these two have a whole fukkin universe built around them, of people who react to, discuss, and archive everything they do. and the reactors to them are cows themselves that think they're superior. they're not.

this past summer i started following jessica anne boyle and her then boyfriend kingcobrajfs . . .

jessica is a whole fukkin psychotic mess. she screeches WHAT DID I DOOOOO from the bath tub when her parents (yes shes forty and lives at home) tell her to gtfo bc shes had the shower running for 8 hours.

her boytoy jawshie was driven so insane by her that there's video of him putting a rifle in his mouth during a fight.

tbh, youtube is like having jerry springer with real time drama. very fun! very distracting!

Ever since I got Premium I've been watching more YouTube than ever. So many just random history and science videos. Nice to put on the background too.
