Well, I watch way more YouTube than I do TV! In fact, I watch more YouTube than I do any streaming service. I have lots of interests and hobbies and YouTube has plenty of content for nearly anything imaginable - all created by people who are passionate about the subject. What's happening is pretty amazing when you think about it.

Except that with TV you just own the box and that's it. With youtube you are supposed to subscribe to youtube and then on top of that you still get your hourly helping of 40% ads or so.

As a YouTube Premium subscriber of several years, I have never been forced to watch any ad on YouTube.

40% ads sounds like the experience with mainstream/legacy TV. Good riddance to that!
