The people that say it's their main form of entertainment must have to wade through so much crap to get to anything good, I just don't see the point.
I've been using Youtube so long that it kind of isn't a problem. I've got a bunch of creators I follow, most of whom have stable release schedules. The likes of RedLetterMedia, Astrum and SEA (two unrelated yet adjacent "European guy talks calmly about space" channels), Summoning Salt, TierZoo, etc. Recently the folks behind The New Yankee Workshop have been uploading the show to Youtube, and I've been enjoying that.
Yeah I guess if you've been using it for a long time and have favourites built up that would work. I remember when YouTube started and it was pretty good, but with every video trying to game the algorithms I couldn't imagine trying to start afresh now.
I mean, you can say the same about every form of entertainment. Music? Majority is crap. Movies? Crap. Sports? Crap. Books? Crap. Video games? Crap.
