Wouldn’t that depend on what you’re watching?

You can watch reality TV on YouTube, or traditional television.

You can watch educational content and documentaries on YouTube, or traditional television.

Hell you can watch some traditional TV shows on YouTube or traditional television.

YouTube is just a platform for hosting content. Now they may have a “better” algorithm compared to traditional television, but that doesn’t really change much.
