In many ways, YouTube sucks.
They're where video makers can make money though, so it's where videos are posted, so we largely just have to live with them. I exclusively use Invidious though, which makes it a lot more reasonable, though far from perfect.
YouTube also has an insane usership. Unlike a lot of social media, it's not just young people, it's all ages, toddlers to elderly. And with young people, basically all of them use it. More than 99.5% percent of American teens regularly use YouTube.
It’s invaluable though, because of the ppl that have posted how to replace the timing chain on an 93’ Corolla.
