For me it was vise versa. If its purely by minutes, there’s no way I watch more than 20 youtube videos a week, let’s say 5 minutes length each would be barely 2 hour of content.
Versus on Netflix I can easily watch on average 1 episode a day (or binge 7 in 1 day :P) for at least 7 hours a week
I probably watch about 4 hours a day of YouTube. Two hours of audiobooks for my commute, then lots of interest specific channels once I get home. I have it in the background of a bunch of stuff too for music or podcasts.
It has momentum, it was the only one in the game for a little while, and the go to for most for a long while after Amazon and Disney/Fox/Comcast started their streaming services. It’s really the only reason they still exist at this point, with how much their competition is chipping away at their ability to provide content. Their need to justify their existence to their shareholders isn’t helping… but that’s true of all the streaming services. They’re just hit harder since this is their only horse.
I’m wondering if “YouTube” includes YouTubeTV. I watch very little on YouTube but we’ve been using YouTubeTV instead of cable for several years now and then use it for all our local channels plus ESPN, etc.
I’m actually surprised how close Netflix is to YouTube. I know YouTube is absolutely massive, but I didn’t know Netflix was nearly just a big.

One big difference: YouTube is free.

I don’t know. But many people I know only watch YouTube, and little to none of other streaming services.
