Canned laughter and "stars" I just do not give a shit about. I'd rather watch some youtuber give me their take.
I really like the Daily Show interviews. They’re usually with authors and subject matter experts rather than just straight celebrities. When they do have celebrities on I find they’re more interesting and not just “famous actor with forced anecdote” but more someone with an idea or perspective to share. Whereas, for example, I love Colbert’s monologues but once we get to the celebrity piece I lose interest.
I always tuned out when they got to interviews. I was just there for stuff like Conan going to Cuba or messing around with interns or playing video games.
How about neither. Turns out I don't care about YouTubers just as much as I don't care about Kardashians.
There are a few exceptions where the content speaks for itself like Alt-Shift-X and Climate Town.
A difference with those vs late night shows is I am seeking them out, not just passively watching a thing.
I'd rather watch Jimmy Kimmel over a random YouTuber.
I would definitely expect that from someone with your username.
Low hanging fruit, eh? YT sounds about right
Yeah but what about a not random one but a decent one that puts out good stuff consistently?
The majority of YouTube is trash and it takes time to cultivate something decent. Just like Lemmy
This is the only thing I've ever or will ever watch on YouTube.
The platform peaked ten years ago and it's been downhill for them since then.
I bet that food still hasn’t spoiled.
That’s a pretty low bar though.
Luckily, you don't have to watch either.
