Point: I spend a lot of time on YouTube. A lot. A lot.
I go to watch a video and then just one more video and then it's three hours later and I haven't done anything all day. It really sucks you in...like a vampire...heh... :|. There are few reasons why I really like YouTube and prefer it to TV.
#1. the videos are short, most are under 20 minutes. You can just catch a quick video in between whatever.
#2. the videos are not heavily produced, they're often written/produced/directed etc etc by the people you see in the video
#3. kind of goes with #2, you see "normal" people just being people. I guess this and #2 mainly refer to vlogs.
#4. in most cases there is very little money involved in making of the videos which means that there is a lot of freedom.
#5. because there isn't a lot of money and studios involved there is a wide variety of entertainment and pretty much everyone can find something they like.
One of my favorite "YouTubers" lately has been MrArturoTrejo I just love his sense of humor. He is one of those YouTube partners who actually has a "real job" as a lawyer (though he seems a bit reluctant to even mention the word "lawyer") I don't think that having a job outside of YouTube really makes much of a difference, other than maybe he feels less pressure to pump out videos constantly because it is not his main source of income. That said, he is pretty regular with them. He posts videos every Thursday or Tursday aka Trejo Tursday and even sometimes throws in a "Trejo Treat" sometime during the week. His videos are on the shorter side rarely ever exceeding five minutes. I find myself laughing out loud very often while watching them.
My favorite things about MrArturoTrejo's videos
1. His dry sense of humor
2. His adorable 2 year old son Jose Louis
3. His frequent use of the Spanish language because his wife is half Mexican and it's very clear he is a fan of that culture.
