I use Youtube more than any other service. If you like video essays, documentaries, and other medium- and long-form content, it's the only place on earth to get it. Cable television ditched intelligent content long ago. Nebula and Curiousity are okay, but most of the content that I couldn't already get on Youtube has that shitty cable tv vibe.
The only downside with Youtube is it's huge and the algorithm is iffy. It can take a long time to build up a library of subscriptions that provide high level content every day. But now that I have that, it's basically my exclusive streaming platform. I watch 1hr of Netflix/HBO/whatever with my wife every night, and all the rest is history, cooking, science, etc. on Youtube.
