    Before COVID hit, I remember people talking about watching YT content as a regular viewing medium which I thought was sort of low rent. Changed my mind when I discovered the crazy amount of choice and content. Got rid of Netflix and bought YT premium.

      You really thought it was that bad? YT replaced Discovery/Science channel for me over a decade ago.

        Honestly, at the time I though YT was just prank videos. Covid hit and somehow Time Team wound up in my preference algorithm and I got hooked on the show. I mean I even patiently waited for several weeks to get a logo embossed shirt instead of canceling the order. The lady in charge of merchandise said the show got a second wind due to everyone being home.
