Why do you watch YouTube?

(1/12) > >>

Melooon:
Thinking about Youtube viewing; Often Ill rewatch the same video I like even if Im not getting new info from it.. New info is nice.. but its more the feeling of peace and certainty of having something familiar that Im there for.

Every now and then I'll find something new or unexpected, and thats great! That can be rare though even if Im looking for it, which seems strange because there is SO MUCH on YouTube.

I wonder if it's Youtube or if it's me, does youtube get boring, or do I? Maybe Im just more open sometimes!

I wish I could find new and strange things on YouTube more often, but it's a pretty rare occurrence. I used to visit a content aggregate site that existed before Reddit and social media in general took over that sphere, and they would sometimes post the weirdest videos from YouTube.

But now I mostly just follow the same few channels that post regularly. Monstrum is a great series that does deep dives on different mythological creatures and cryptids. Outside Xbox/Xtra has a Dungeons and Dragons series as well as Blades in the Dark which are really entertaining. I'm actually watching the latest episode of Blades in the Dark right now.

College Humor used to be great for a laugh, and they eventually started Dimension 20 which had some free D&:grin: series on YouTube that were both hilarious and really well written. The first season of The Unsleeping City is my favourite D&:grin: series ever and involves an army of mutant Santa clones attacking New York. But most of their content now is exclusive to Dropout and requires a subscription.

I wish I could find more content like that, but every other channel I follow just posts top 10 lists related to movies, games and comics. It's mildly interesting but mostly just serves to fill time during the day.

I'm on YouTube a LOT. It bothers me immensely how awful its management has become. Still, my favourite creators remain on there so I'm stuck there. I love to watch informative videos on urban projects in cities, weird history, socialism, fashion, videos on movies... Also love funny videos like livestreams, let's plays and meme compilations. And I'm an avid fan of the unexplainable, creepy and scary, so when I'm in the mood I watch paranormal compilations, murder tales, backrooms videos and the such. Often I give videos my full attention. But I also like to scroll Tumblr or Reddit with the video playing in the corner or a splitscreen with Minecraft.

I watch a lot of youtube, afterall it's the biggest videosharing platform, and i like videos :pc:
And i also really like leaving random commentary on the background while i draw (music is too distracting, and podcasts require more focus) but i usually gravitate towards the same channels i like... when i find new cool stuff, it's usually suggest by someone/said channels i enjoy :ozwomp: I don't think that finding new cool stuff has to happen everyday, so i am happy with the rate of new cool things i find now :cheesy:

I am on Youtube because there is barely any spam protection or quality content on most Peertube instances. :sad:
I wish I had the server space to host my own, but alas.
