Yeah...cutting cable was one of the best things I did. Saved me as much money as quitting smoking.

My youngest, 13, watches a lot of youtube. I don't think I have ever seen him even use netflix or prime to watch anything much less actual broadcast TV.

My oldest watches youtube as well. But his are mostly auditory. (Like this dude that tells supposedly true scary encounters he's had in life.) than visual so he's usually just listening to youtube. He doesn't watch broadcast TV either but he does make use of netflix and prime and even goes to the local library for movies and TV shows on DVD. He also listens to books on DVD he gets from the library too.

To answer the other question, no I don't watch TV either. Broadcast or streaming. I also don't watch youtube other than the occasional game play video if I get stuck on a game. I mostly only watch movies anymore.

An 8-year-old is well past the point where Paw Patrol would be educational to him.

I've given up and gave him back the remote on the bright side, he got off the phone, on the downside he is now using the youtube app on the TV to watch this dude's shitty videos.

Edit his eyes have now returned to the phone and now he's watching and playing some beyblade game

there are no 5 minute ads on TV


If most shows take up a half-hour timeslot and actual run time is about 22 minutes than it's actually 8 minutes of ad time.

No, but 5 minutes of ads interrupt your show. Twice every 30 minutes.

All the same end result

yup

none of the ads are 5 minutes though


That's still 8 minutes of unskippable ads compared to 5-10 seconds of skippable ads.

Or 0 seconds if you have AdBlock.

I'm sure in 15-20 years that YouTube will face similar problems that TV faces now. Netflix and other streaming services are already heading there. But right now, there's no comparison for mindless entertainment, unless you factor in nostalgia.
