I guess I’m not that into that so wouldn’t find something to interest me on youtube. I probably don’t bother watching 99% of my feed, and just use YouTube when I need to reference something these days.
Like finding out a location from a video game or looking up a recipe to cook. I don’t find myself liking majority of the “big YouTube as a job” type channels, and videos I tend to view when searching has been more “this is my only upload because it seemed interesting” type videos.

I watch a huge range, from 100 subs to 20m. I’ve spent years making a decent sub list to watch so I avoid most issues about trash content.

I cut my sub list down over the years to like 20.
I think I just don’t typically like YouTube type content to for entertainment compared to the average viewer.
It’s use to me is more as a resource for when I need a video guide.

Fair enough, I use mine as basically a replacement for any other streaming platform, so it’s more about entertainment than raw usefulness.
My sub list is ever growing, at about 150 now. I don’t watch a lot of what’s put out by them but that’s where I start when I want to watch something. The main YouTube feed is… Unreliable at best
