Until I got my Android TV I used to watch on a 7" tablet but a 55" screen is certainly a lot better except that you can't leave or read commentsn(all part of the fun).
As an example - I have no interest in owning a boat or indeed going to sea but every Saturday morning I look forward to the latest offering from Acorn to Arabella.
Another channel I enjoy is Big Clive dot Com. He is an electrician who dismantles electronic and electrical components as well as rather odd amusements such as carbonating Jaegermeister (sp?)
Youtube is a great resource for overcoming problems or learning new skills. I often use it for finding VBA programming problems in Excel for example.
How about you? Do you enjoy or find YouTube useful either for learning or just entertainment?
Perhaps you have your own channel? Is it monetised? Just curious.
My favourites at present are Wildlife Aid with Simon Cowell & Minuscule. I also enjoy clips from Good Omens, Merlin & other films. Lots of bands/singers. I could go on & on.

I used to enjoy watching a chap, whose name I can't remember now.He used to experiment with electrical equipment, tending to overload things to destruction.
He'd do things that no-one in their right mind would go near!
I wish I could remember his name or the name of his video series.

Re: YouTube?
One of my more recent interests are people living on those narrow boats on the English canals. There are many but this particular bloke is a TV journalist and his videos are quite entertaining.It is odd how I watch these thing because as I said before boats and the sea have never interested me but boating on a canal or river even less - so restricted and all those weirs and locks would drive me to distraction. Yet I enjoy watching these videos.
My interest will eventually wane and move on to something else but there are so many fascinating topics to browse.
