Ironically, YouTube is one of services where I find it's worth the money I pay for. I mean, I'd rather not pay for it sure. But when I compare it to Netflix, which charges almost $20 and I barely watch (pretty much use every 2nd or 3rd day), and then paying like $15 for YouTube premium which I consume at least 5 hours a day then it is totally worth it.
- plutoh28 2y ago5 hours a day of YouTube is a lot no?
- racl101 2y agosigh Yeah, I'm an addict. I should be better. :(
- TMWNN 2y agoI can't find it right now, but the Financial Times ran an article a few months ago about how YouTube is the world's most useful website, period, because it has everything imaginable: Not just entertainment, but also educational content. In a real sense, YouTube is the planet's #1 teacher.
- mattigames 2y agoIt's also the #1 bad teacher, a lot of outdated or plain wrong information abounds. And of course its major role in getting people hooked into psychologically damaging vices, "toddler surprise gift unwrapping" videos for children among many many others.
- racl101 2y agoYeah, good point. The information is scattershot unless the content makers make their content curated. As far as outdated information goes, especially for programming knowledge, I could make the same case for college and university. Even worse in their case.
- racl101 2y agoExactly, it has entertainment and educational content. I use it just to listen to music in many cases. The utility it brings for me is quite high.
