  How do you find it, all I seem to get is trash and if I have to hear the phrase “like and subscribe” one more time I’ll scream?

    Ironically that is how you get better content. If you don’t engage and let the algorithm find you content, you’re going to get generic crap. Unfortunately. You can use logged-in Youtube to find stuff and NewPipe to watch it.

      I have to she with this. As much as we all hate the algorithm because it’s what brings us those thumbnails and annoying begging from creators it actually works. It just takes time to find some good people. Though I wouldn’t mind a post on lemmy with everyone sharing their favorites.

    what are you interested in? everytime I dip my toe into a new interest I’m always blown away by the sheer volume and quality available on YouTube. right now I’m using it to supplement duolingo to help learn a new language, something I never tried before

  Watching YouTube 3 hours a day seems really unhealthy. Not judging, just pointing out.

  • Sowhatever@discuss.tchncs.de ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

    If you watch the news and one movie you also reach 3 hours.

    I watch 30 min in the morning while getting ready (usually late night shows from the previous day - mostly listening), 30 minutes to an hour during lunch (LTT, MKBHD, other tech channels or maybe a car review) and a longer session in the evening when the kids are in bed (documentaries or chess tutorials, or programming content, or something longer/more in depth where I can dedicate my full attention).

    I don’t find it really unhealthy, works for me.

    People watching TV is also un healthy. Going outside your home is also unhealthy XD
