What type of videos do you watch on YouTube?

- mostly music videos (REAL music, not AI music)
- occasionally drum or guitar cover videos, and Rick Beato stuff
- videos on expat life in Europe
- European landscape drone videos
- an occasional bit of wine or spirits oriented videos
- occasionally car and aviation videos but this is increasingly infected with AI slop
- rarely, a full episode of a modern art docuseries may appear in full on YT
- rarely, "golden age" YT parody videos (which you basically need to download or you will never find them again; even more recent funny content has been hidden by the creator, like a video by Peter Serafinowicz doing a voice over of a Trump word salad speech in a Homer Simpson voice)
- the occasional video on how to fix something broken

I have absolutely zero desire to watch any videos for news or punditry, I will READ my news and opinion content from more mainstream sources, thank you very much; moreover, text is SEARCHABLE, and punditry in general is of little value to society, especially compared to raw objective, mainstream, fact-based journalism (not right wing news sites)

I absolutely avoid "shorts" and I hide channels that instantly reek of AI, in the few portions of the UI that allow me to actually do this, mainly the right side bar is the only UI that presents this menu option

it's no longer really viable for many full movies to download, so that has moved to ok.ru for me (for movies that aren't available at the library on DVD or via Netflix)

ok, this is about the only exception to the "shorts" rule

I like them all

I'm a snake fan, so I watch herping videos. Most of the music videos that I watch are of soothing music in the evening.

I get obsessed with some then move on to others. Right now I watch a lot of the financial audit guy

FailArmy is a favourite plus meditation and occult ones.

I’ve become a fan of globalmindapparel. His post seldom fail to cheer me up, no matter what kind of day I’m having. 😊

music, sports, Auto repair and other DIY stuff

How to make money online videos... Tom Blake,Vinsane And Paid from Surveys (Earn with Mike) are all good YouTube Channels... Those guys show legit apps that really do pay and aren't scams ❤❤❤

Music

Film Noir and scifi/monster movies from the 1940s-50s.

Trains.

Concert videos of metal and hard rock music and occult/spiritual content.

Documentaries, how too videos and sometimes movies.

Everything.

Mortuary science, Makeup and hair tutorials, cooking stuff, science stuff, travel and world culture videos, music, documentary type stuff, movies, etc.

Old truck and equipment videos mostly.

cooking baking news mostly some music but not often

ASMR Historian is one of my faves right now. I fall asleep to it every night. It's a historian with a really soothing voice, telling you about a particular topic in history. There's no visual other than his own hands against a dark background, arranging stones, cards, trinkets, etc idly. The whole thing is so relaxing.

True crime
ASMR
Movie reviews
Cooking videos
No commentary gaming

(1) Various kinds of how-to videos
(2) Classic rock music, often live

I tend to avoid political talkiing heads; I can read 3X faster than they can talk, and I can skim to the key parts even faster.

All but generally

Mostly light stuff/ funny
