S2E6 - YouTube - “This is ENTERTAINING for you?!”

YouTube


In this episode:


For a lot of people, YouTube pretty much is the internet.
It’s the world’s second largest search engine (next to Google,
obvs), so we wanted to discuss how we use YouTube, get some great
channels out there to you guys, and also find out what you’re
watching and how you use.

What we actually watch on YouTube differs quite a bit. We
initially thought it would be balanced, but it very much isn’t.
Void uses YouTube as essentially a TV with all sorts of cool
shows and creators he loves, while Beej sees it more as a novelty
for one-off views.

Beej doesn’t have much that he watches: VetRanch, Dr.
PimplePopper, Woodworking for Mere Mortals, ObeseToBeast,
RunSelfieRepeat, various funny puppy and kitty clips, CineFix,
and catches up on clips of late-night shows or music videos. And
really, that’s about it.

Void, on the other hand, uses PLEX to stream YouTube to his
TV where he follows various channels and creators like most
people do their network sitcoms and police procedurals.



Void’s YouTube Highlights (the occasional watches):


Penny Arcade TV

Dungeons & Dragons

Nintendo

Star Wars

Waypoint

Rocket Jump and Rocket Jump Film School

Mark Brown’s Gamer Maker’s Toolkit and Boss Keys

Chez Lindsay

Vsauce

Extra Credits (gaming videos, but not so much the history
videos)

NoClip with Danny O’Dwyer

Tested.com (any of the videos with Adam Savage are great. The
other ones… not so much.)



Channels/Creators that Void watches absolutely everything they
put out:


Kurzgesagt

Griffin Series on Polygon

Shut Up & Sit Down

Cool Ghosts

Movies with Mikey

CGP Grey

Every Frame a Painting (Good places to start are Jackie Chan
- How to do action Comedy, The Marvel Symphonic Universe, or
Edgar Wright - How to do visual comedy)
