Exactly. There's all kinds of quality content on Youtube catering to almost any imaginable niche. It's not hard to find good content covering whatever interests you might have. Just skimming through my subscription list and ignoring the video game and music-related stuff for examples: Alton Brown - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfDNi1aEljAQ17mUrfUjkvg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfDNi1aEljAQ17mUrfUjkvg FliteTest (RC planes/multirotors) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfDNi1aEljAQ17mUrfUjkvg https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfDNi1aEljAQ17mUrfUjkvg Munchies (Vice's food channel) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaLfMkkHhSA_LaCta0BzyhQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaLfMkkHhSA_LaCta0BzyhQ Smarter Every Day (science) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6107grRI4m0o2-emgoDnAA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6107grRI4m0o2-emgoDnAA Veritasium (science) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHnyfMqiRRG1u-2MsSQLbXA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHnyfMqiRRG1u-2MsSQLbXA Vsauce (random interesting information) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6nSFpj9HTCZ5t-N3Rm3-HA https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6nSFpj9HTCZ5t-N3Rm3-HA Numberphile (mathematics) - https://www.youtube.com/user/numberphile https://www.youtube.com/user/numberphile The Fast Lane (cars) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6S0jAvcapqJ48ZzLfva12g https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6S0jAvcapqJ48ZzLfva12g Regular Car Reviews (cars/comedy) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo1pShh6dtg-T_ZZkgi_JDQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCo1pShh6dtg-T_ZZkgi_JDQ Every Frame a Painting (film analysis) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjFqcJQXGZ6T6sxyFB-5i6A https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjFqcJQXGZ6T6sxyFB-5i6A Wisecrack/Thug Notes (comedy/educational) - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6-ymYjG0SU0jUWnWh9ZzEQ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6-ymYjG0SU0jUWnWh9ZzEQ I've found that most hobbies usually have at least a couple of channels that regularly put out great content. I don't have any problem coming up with an hour or two worth of solid content that actually interests me when I wind down most nights.
