    You can at least pay (quite a lot less than a cable subscription)

    Well I should bloody well hope so, considering you also get far less than cable.

    YouTube is still mostly amateur or indie content, most of it short-form, and most of it frankly just not very good. There’s still stuff on there worth watching, and I know some people really do consume a lot of content on there in the manner of watching TV back in the day, but objectively it really isn’t the same thing as professional studio content. I can watch some random guy in Ohio do a 15 minute review of some niche thing I’m interested in as much as anyone can, but there’s no way I’d consider that worth the same value as a long form TV series or feature film.

      Less? I’d argue YouTube gets you way more than cable

      There’s a buttload of high quality content
