    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 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.

      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.

    Shouldn’t have used YouTube as your only outlet then, you damn idiots. What the hell possessed you to think America is your friend.
