Who Needs Television When We Have YouTube

Have you ever noticed no matter how many channels your local cable provider or satellite company offers you, it is usually 300 plus channels of crap? Commercials alone kill television. I don't know if we demand too much these days or if television has lost its vibe over the years, but it's not the same as it was when I was younger. Because of the lack of entertainment that television provides for me, I turn to the internet for satisfaction (and no, I don't mean porn...gawd, get your head out of the gutter). That is where YouTube comes in.

On average, I would say I visit the YouTube homepage about five times or more daily. Some may find that excessive, but I am subscribed to more than twenty people on there and they all upload their content at different times of the day. I truly look forward to their shows more so than cable television shows themselves. Not only is it that the entertainment keeps me coming back, it's the interaction they have with their audience. That is something television lacks. It's just not as personal. 


So, my television stays in the off mode more than the on mode minus the time spent playing video games. Cable just can't deliver what the internet can bring into my home or what YouTube can do- hours of entertainment almost 100% commercial free. The best thing about watching the videos on YouTube is that I can watch the videos over and over and over again whenever I want, for however long as I want, so long as the video is viewable to the public. I'd like to see cable or satellite do that......TiVo doesn't count. 


I have been writing this blog going on three days now. I know, it's not that long. I wanted to share some links to people I enjoy watching or had enjoyed in the past. This means I have to bring up YouTube for their links. In doing so, I end up watching videos on YouTube and easily become sidetracked, sorry. Without further ado, here are the links to YouTuber's you should check out.
