How do I fix X?
A random game title - what's the gameplay look like?
I rarely use it the way most people seem to use it - for music and comedy vids. Don't get me wrong, there's probably no greater resource in that regard (something I'll get to in a minute), it's just I don't tend to stick around with YouTube. Watch someone's link or find what I want and skedaddle. Yet I know people who treat it more like TV. Maybe Netflix is closer... I personally don't subscribe to channels or bother with what's trending or whatever
Do you spend long on YouTube? Deliberately go there to be distracted? Barely use it?
I was just thinking we probably take it for granted when it's an absolute treasure trove in a hundred different ways. Nostalgia in every form. Global items of every description. Homemade and commercial content in one place. That quick clip of a TV show or film... It really is something special
