Why on earth would you ever watch a youtube *channel*? It's like a totally alien form of entertainment for me.

The same reason you'd watch any regular show, you enjoy the content and the people producing it?

Channels are good for movie and BTS/history stuff if you find a good host. DefunctLand does excellent theme park and Disney project history stuff, GoodBadFlicks and Oliver Harper do great movie retrospectives and “how did this get made” type things, Star Wars Explained is good for recaps on characters or events you don’t remember. YT is a wasteland full of PewDiePie and Star Wars Theory types, but there’s a lot of good stuff out there as well.

For everyone under the age of 45, YouTube has functionally replaced network television for all intents and purposes. Cable TV is going to die with boomers, or at least settle into Millenials who watch sports

Yeah there are some great art and cooking channels on YT. For example, I rather enjoy this grandpa who teaches watercolor in a very calm and pleasant manner.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udjLiiVGK9M

Defunctland, Renegade Cut, Hbomberguy, even the Red Letter Media guys. This is usually people who won't be throwing daily content just to keep viewers, so their content tends to have some great production values. I also found this Venezuelan guy who has been around for a while who just makes videos about paranormal stuff, ghosts, internet weird facts, etc. It's like 99% of the cases are fake, but the guy throws a good spooky show.

There's a youtube channel where a guy pours molten aluminum into ant nests and makes sculptures from the tunnel networks and I'm glad something so dumb and niche exists on youtube. Also I watch people play video games and not have to listen to them react to twitch chat

Star Wars Explained and Hello Greedo are some nicely informative, even-handed voices in the fandom. LGR is pleasant 90s-00s tech nostalgia. Defunctland is great, as is the Themed Alternative channel he runs with a few other theme park people; they do MST3K-style riffs on old Disney specials. Hbomberguy, Jenny Nicholson, Lindsey Ellis, and FilmJoy are all excellent and funny critics that cover a wide range of subjects. I definitely used to be on the "pfft, YouTube" train but eventually, I just happened upon more and more channels that fit my interests and were run by seemingly-decent folks.

piL posted:An idea that someone came up with earlier in the thread is that its for environmental hazards. It helps with fall protection (there's no railing). I posited that there might be all kinds of other hazards like gas attacks, posionous atmospheres or radiation leaks, or an unpredicted solar flare on a certain planet that might mean you're toast, but the armor protects against. Also cooling and heating. They have them stay in the stuff all the time so they can always fight in it, whether they're dropping on a planet thats close to the right kind of star or a ship has a hole blown through the reactor shielding. If you go back to, like, 1975, the white armor was literally a spacesuit for boarding actions. And they had lightsabers, in case they were in conditions that prevented a blaster from working (whatever that would be). Fast forward 40 years and their helmets are basically elaborate dust masks.

Back in the old EU it was to protect against shrapnel and was good against slugthrowers and mitigated blaster damage...a blaster bolt that killed an unarmored rebel soldier might only critically wound an armored stormtrooper. They'd both be out of the fight but the latter might see service again after bacta time.

In this time of social distancing I've found myself drawn to show reactor channels. It's obviously not the same as getting to watch with your friends but it's something. Some of them are pretty cringe to watch but it's easy enough to weed them out. It's also fun to see a new generation of movie viewers watch things like Star Wars for the first time. This from someone who a year ago absolutely could not fathom watching someone else watch a show or play a videogame.

Binging With Babish is amazing and high quality stuff that rivals any network show. And then if you want to watch a lunatic cook, I recommend Matthy Matheson. It's like any media. There is brilliant, mediocre and loving awful. Just a lot of awful sometimes since there is no bar to entry. I do appreciate however I get to see and enjoy content from people that would never ever have a voice like this otherwise. It's been a great equaliser. I tend to find shitlords use whatever is available to amplify their shittiness. I do not doubt at all that people bemoaned the printing press that meant their idiot neighbour was able to create crude leaflets about the dangers of women milking the goats or something...

I stumbled with Cinema Rules. The guys are quite funny (it's a less cynic humor, but it's nice) and their Star Wars Holiday Special reaction were hilarious. In a less star wars themed Well There's Your Problem it's also a good background soothing sound, helps me focus some times, even if I dunno what the hell they are talking about when they go too technical.
