How much YouTube do you watch?

[Zen Traveler]

We've discussed Facebook algorithms before and I'm curious how much YouTube influences your life? 🤔

Mine not much at all. The only time I really ever use it is when I'm BBQing. Generally live concert tracks.

If you watch less than an hour a week I'd call that pretty much none. On that note is there anyone who NEVER clicks on YouTube?

Almost never. On replacing car parts , mower parts, or watching some of my films.

I said between 6-12, only because  it's football season.

 

The rest of the time it's 2 hours a week, two shows, Oak Island and Skinwalker Ranch and maby an occasional documentary.

Ha! Actually it's FREAKY how deep you can get on tangents that investigate "sin," including biblical history and apologetics surrounding it...

I'm pretty close. I read before bed/after waking but there's a good 4 to 6 hours of YouTube watching on weekdays and even more on weekends if nothing's planned. 

 

Thanks for participating.

Good to hear from you dtel. Yeah, I don't watch any sports and travel the world on YouTube and my modest 55" monitor. I have a library of Live-cams from favorite places where I visit daily and usually put on the headphones for a recent (or Live) walk or train ride in Europe...Amazing footage with alot being 4K.

Thanks for posting! Ironically it was about a year ago I too had to take a YouTube tutorial on lawnmower repair. 😊I bet that screwed up the algorithm! 😉 Speaking of which, those folks have my watching pegged--Scary? 🤔

Thanks, I have looked at many webcams, it's kind of addictive, I find myself looking at places I have never heard of. It's just nice to see new places, just in general time, nothing special just daily how it looks. 

 

And some places we have been, just a couple.

I wouldn’t say it influences my life, but I do spend a lot of time on it.  In addition to watching how-to videos such as auto repair, boat repair, etc I’m subscribed to these channels:

Cool. Fwiw, those links aren't from YouTube but are fun nonetheless.  Here is a favorite of mine that's not on YT either but has several AMAZING vantagepoints in the Swiss Alps! https://www.jungfrau.ch/en-gb/live/webcams/

There are several great live-cams from Amsterdam but this is the most mesmerizing.

I'm interested in biblical history and scholarship and can't believe how much and varied the content is. Bart Ehrman and James Tabor give more of a historical overview (and have their own channels) as they discuss the texts with several others that have scholars on.

I actually posted one several years ago but it no longer is up. It didn't show any action just the canal and folks walking in the area.

I think of YouTube as the best kind of TV. Considering how crappy streaming services are, and how useless cable TV is, it's the only decent alternative. But no, I won't pay for it!
