Agreed. I would not be where I am in life today without the skills and knowledge I learned from YouTube. I am a huge fan of the way they compensate creators and align their incentives with creators' incentives, and generally just very pleased with the product they provide. I pay for Premium and it's the best monthly subscription I have imo — the sheer quantity of expertly-produced content on YT is unparalleled, and I've discovered so many new hobbies, interests, and people through it.
- bredren 4y agoI’m not familiar w the compensation mechanism but am part of a YouTube premium family subscription and agree on the overall value. The content is unparalleled. Home repair is one of my most valued content types on the site. There are many, many different types of house problems and solutions covered by videos. Even when you get to something that seemingly has no person describing the problem and fix, you can often get close enough to improvise based on other people’s ideas. YouTube is a skill building platform. You can save money by becoming more self-reliant. Despite other comments here, I think the search is quite good. It sometimes ignores keywords but returns the video I _intended_ to seek. I don’t care for shorts, though and would hide them completely if able. It would also be good to have relatively anonymous ways to upload video. Sometimes I’ll establish a novel solution and would post the information but wouldn’t want it associated with my identity—or even to monetize it.
