I get disgusted by thinking why does Netflix want people to not sleep. Why auto-play in 5 sec? Isn't this morally wrong, like dangling cocaine in front of a drug addict. I agree that people have free will but designing products so that people waste days just watching TV is very very sad IMHO.

yes but if you have a subscription and you watch nothing algorithms probably tell them that sooner or later you will stop to have a subscription. There is probably a sweet spot where you are most likely to keep your subscription even without watching much. This would really be what must watch original content would be about. If you have netflix only for showing your kid BabyBoss, then that is when it might be good fo…
Not exactly. Makers of woodworking tools consider football a bigger competitor than other woodworking tool manufactures. If you buy a nice tool from a different brand - well there is a chance you will buy from them latter. If you get addicted to football and quit doing woodworking you won't buy from them at all.

> IF I want to watch scripted drama like NARCOS, I can't find anything close to that on Youtube If you step outside of the narrow US/English speaking world this isn't the case. Here's episode 92 of a popular hour-long scripted family show from Vietnam: https://youtu.be/rqdqn5Rfx6w You can see that it has 5.7 million views within 5 days of release. That's more viewers than, say, Daredevil gets.
Netflix does not release it's viewer data as far as I understand. You cannot compare that which you have no data for.

You can't mention Brad from Bon Appetite and not mention "Half-sour Saffitz"! She recently got brought back onto the team to continue her "Professional chef makes oreos/twizzlers/twinkies etc" videos.
Yes! Brad's "it's alive" and Claire's "Gourmet makes" are both great. I started making Kombucha and Sauerkraut because of Brad's video on the subject. Giardiniera next!
I've quickly become addicted to longform (10+ minute) nonfiction youtube videos, whether it be a comprehensive analysis of Neverwinter Nights or 24 minutes on the advanced features of the laserdisc. Most, if not all of the content creators have Patreon pages, and I even contribute to a few. The content is so niche it's unimaginable that Netflix or any other content behemoth would develop their own version of it.

ThisOldTony is very entertaining with his machining and dad jokes, I can highly recommend his channel. This video is not a bad starting point.

Does sleep have well produced online content?
Sleep goes you one better. Often enough sleep provides fantastical entertainment content indistinguishable from reality. Every genre, from comedy to horror. Only thing is, you can't choose what content you want to experience. (At least, not to my knowledge you can't pick what content you want?)
Also most dreams are forgotten once a person wakes up. So that's like a lot of entertainment, and you never tire out of seeing dreams with the same theme.

The world is already improving at blazing pace https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightenment_Now I am not "white" but rewriting everything due to PC culture is idiotic. We must learn from the good and the bad. Also attacking men, family, and fatherhood at every chance is getting old. Simpsons did it, already, and long ago. And even they are under attack for being racist. Don't get me wrong. Make your content and do you…
Lol what you call "PC culture" is what regular non-troglodyte people call "not being a dick." Get the fuck over it.

That only applies to the ads from Google, not from content creators themselves. And it is three times more expensive than Netflix where I live. I don't see the value proposition there.
> not from content creators themselves They gotta eat too, you know. Some of the channels I watch cost real cash-money for the creators to produce.
I can see that. But this means Google model doesn't work for content consumers like me, and it also doesn't work for content creators.
