> I rarely watch movies or TV shows - I watch YouTube.

Same here. For all its faults—the search function is my personal peeve—it has really turned into a fantastic platform. By allowing anyone to upload videos of any length, giving those videos permanent URLs, and enabling people to make money from their videos, they have encouraged a wealth of content creation on every topic under the sun.

I wish YouTube had a dozen strong competitors, though. Too many valuable eggs are being entrusted to that one basket.
