I find Youtube frustrating. They have a movies section and TV shows section, but I don’t want to spend hours going through their listings.

Considering that Google, the biggest search engine of all time, owns Youtube, one would think they could develop a more user-friendly approach to Youtube.

Most of what I watch is via Netflix and Amazon Prime and Tivo-ed TV programs. Tivo can skip through the commercials on most recordings. I hate to watch anything on regular cable TV. Commercials commercials commercials. Some commercial breaks are now 8 minutes long.

I would drop cable, but my cable company requires at least the basic tier (broadcast plus a few cable only channels) to be able to get internet service. Most of what is watch is on the next tier, so there no real way to cut costs without dropping cable entirely.

In my area there are few real options. Mobile internet only offers about 10Gb (3 high def movies). Cable preferred internet allows 350Gb. For about the same price. Thus, cable is much more cost effective and offers significantly more for the price.

DSL might be an option, but the phone company requires one also have landline service to get the ‘good’ rate DSL. Landline alone is around $30 per month for local service only.

You don't go through their listing. You just use the search box to watch what you want to a watch. I'm talking the free YouTube. Not sure if they have paid version but I mean just the regular YouTube.

There are all kinds of people doing regular daily shows.

Sounds like you're trying to utilize Youtube as though it is a Netflix or other series and film oriented service. That isn't primarily what it is. I for one and I presume a lot of other users (billions) who access Utube for its random short videos, mostly amateur produced, don't want the UI changed significantly.
