I have very different expectations from YouTube than I have from Netflix, and my viewership patterns are very clear.
If I have 20 minutes to kill, I'll follow some food vlogger on YouTube.
If I have more time, I'll opt for something that requires "deep" engagement like Narcos
But I'll admit that there are times I wish Netflix had a stronger library of shows I can watch without thinking too much about them. Like The Office, but original to Netflix
- tvanantwerp 8y agoIt feels like nearly all of the high-quality shows these days are very heavy. Few good comedies, which I prefer for unwinding after a long day. Narcos is a great show, and I love watching it with my wife. But if I'm tired and spent, I'd rather watch IT Crowd for the umpteenth time.

They have a bunch of 20-30m reality TV shows (some of which are pretty good), and they have some even shorter form content as well (for example, Mike Tyson Mysteries).
