    If you’re having problem keeping your attention span focused, maybe go see a doctor or therapist for adhd or something? Because there is so much shit on YouTube that you should 100% be able to find content to suit you.

    Uh… That seems unnecessarily hostile haha. That’s good for, but my point was that for me. Not you. For me that I haven’t found anything that provides the type of content I’ve found on Netflix, HBO, etc on YouTube on a consistent basis. I’m not talking about the ability of something to just keep people fixated for hours the way tiktok has become king in that area and YouTube is trying to catch up with shorts. But, more general conventional entertainment beyond those that are fun time passers the way mobile games are, but might not meet expectations of a Last of Us or Elden Ring or Breath of the Wild type game release on other old school platforms if that makes any sense.

    I think we are talking about different things. You more about ability of content to take up time and keep people in a loop. Me more whether the services has the type of medium I want. Which regardless of the amount of content YouTube has it doesn’t really have, which makes the whole channel numbers for my case not really matter. Apple has made much more progress in original content I want to watch than YouTube has.

        Huh? Ongoing comment chain was started by someone saying they prefer paying for Westworld type productions over user generated YouTube content, and then people arguing about what they value in a service with one side arguing production quality and the other side taking the approach of quantity of hours of content is what matters. It’s a separate discussion from ads.

        This is a YouTube vs HBO, Apple TV, Netflix type discussion and which type of content they prefer than an ad one.
