Pretty much just Nintendo when they post directs. Other than that, I only use YouTube for tutorials, how tos, and stuff like that.

I have issues with depression if I feel like I am wasting time, and with YouTube that starts to hit at about the 5 minute mark of any of the 99.95% of garbage videos out there. Like, if I watch one of those channels where someone else play video games, it depresses me that A) I am not playing the game myself, B) I am not doing something to make me money, C) I am not educating myself on skills to aid in my productivity in ways to make money.

 

Maybe it is a German thing.

Hmm, that's a unique perspective.. 

I actually made a youtube channel and tried to make money off it as I am a youtube "partner" or whatever they're calling it these days, but after about 6 months or so I kinda saw the writing on the wall that despite a lot of work I was getting very little out of it so I quit. Might pick it up again some day though. 

I usually end up getting lost in Youtube and binge watching it, but then again I rarely watch regular cable TV as I find most of that stuff to be garbage so it kinda evens out. There's a ton of garbage on Youtube too of course, though at least there's a TON more to choose from and much more diverse perspectives and styles, so chances are you can find something you like. I just look at Youtube as the next evolution of watching TV.

I'm with you in that I have very little patience/tolerance for just watching people play games and mindlessly commenting on them ala Pewdiepie though. I can't help but think, "well why the hell aren't I just playing this myself?" When it comes to game related stuff on Youtube I usually only watch stuff like Nintendo directs/news/reviews or if it's people just playing games it at least has to be interesting/funny/well produced like AVGN.
