Youtube charges $10 per month and doesn't produce a single video. It's an amazing money maker for them and the only media subscription i pay for (to avoid ads on TVs). They should quit it with the Shorts though, nobody likes those
Youtube is also pretty boring though. I mean, there are ton of interesting content and quality content too, but the stuff that gets recommended, the "hype stuff" is full of false information, clickbait, tweaked reality to conform some narrative...
Agree! So many great genuine creators, but the algo keeps pushing only clickbaity shit
The thing is very simple: when watching TV I need to adjust my schedule to the shows I'd like to watch. With youtube (or any streaming platform), I can see them whenever I want, the platform adapts to my schedule. Of course there are some exceptions, for example when I want to watch my national football team, I'd like to watch it live. Luckily, that won't be a problem anymore this year (Italy).
Because you can't get doomlooped into right-wing podcasts and "citizen journalism" on the TV. Sample quotes from men in the study: "Who tells me what's right and what's wrong... is it true or is it not true? Some of the things on YouTube are independent. I find I would listen to them more, because they're on the ground. They're telling you the story. " "If you see something on social media, whether you believe it or…

FoxNews, NewsMax, AM Radio are already good enough for that. I’ve also noticed that most of the guests on TV News are now YouTubers, so even if you are watching TV, you are going to see them.
Citizen journalism can be a bad thing, like the Nick Shirley example, but the alternative seems to be that only news Larry Ellison or some other billionaire approves will get on TV, that seems like a far worse scenario to me.
For the Iran war, on YouTube, you can see Canadian journalists sailing in the strait of Hormuz and interviews with real Iranians. You cannot see this on CBS.

YouTube Premium is the best $10 I spend per month. Nowhere else can I consistently find the sort of niche content that interests me.
More channels are fighting for attention though, so finding more channels are "creating buzz" or "news" based on mediocre information ie. taking things out of context and making unwarranted conclusions or blowing things out of proportions for clickbait titles. "This changes everything!!" Getting youtube fatigue.
Adults are the focus here, not men.

I can only speak from a UK perspective, but all broadcast media here is regulated. So the things you might see in the US just can't happen and don't happen here. Everything has to be editorially balanced. Online media doesn't fall under the same regulations.
