Agreed. I’m still looking up shows I didn’t watch in my younger days when I was in college taking 2 to 3 courses per quarter while working full time. New shows preaching at me for being too white remind me too much of the few liberal arts “core” courses I hated but had to take while getting a BS in computer science.

Yes I watch more YouTube than anything else. I’m getting ready to dump Amazon prime video because they started running ads and I’m not paying $14.99 per month to watch ads. Most of the movies are junk. I dumped Netflix 6 mos ago. I’d rather read books so I’m going to join Kindle unlimited.

I agree. Lots of free history documentaries (unlike the History Channel), great travel shows (unlike the Travel Channel), lots of free music (unlike MTV), and lots of news (unlike any major network).

YouTube is pretty much all we watch. We watch people with the same values that we have and the same problems.

If DEI was a correct thing then 13% of actors would be black and almost 20% would be Hispanic and then there would be a sprinkling of Arabs and Asians and the rest would be white and close to 50% male and there would be a lot of fat people.

They also don’t give them original material they’re putting them in iconic roles that everyone recognizes. It’s like a popular song sung to a different tune nobody likes it they like the original.

As far as all that sexual stuff in real life in a city with 28,000 people even with all the indoctrination their public face wouldn’t amount to a drop in a bucket but they’re more well-known because of all the drama they always create.

I spend 90% of my time on YouTube. I’m paying the $18/mo to get rid of the ads, which is actually great (and I hate subscriptions). I canceled Netflix yesterday, so I now only have Prime. YouTube is giving me all I need. If I want to see the Daytona 500, I simply watch it the next morning ... and usually only the highlights which takes 20 minutes. I did the same for football.

Yes. And you can learn a lot. I watch shows about real life stuff, like Matt's off-road rescues. Good clean stuff about his family rescuing stranded off-road vehicles. Then there are videos about how-to stuff regarding carpentry, crafts, and electronics. Also historical stuff. And music history. List goes on and on for lots of entertainment value. No fags or woke stuff for me.

YouTube has lots of good content. I often download podcasts into MP3s with https://www.4kdownload.com/products/youtubetomp3-72 Can do the same for tunes.

Yes YouTube is run by liberal little shytes who demonetize conservative channels.
