Q: you've said that you don't really like YouTube. Is it that you don't like corporate YouTube or that you don't like the "idea" of YouTube or do you just not like the creators or users or the platform or you get what I'm asking here
A: it seems to work just fine, and there are many great things about it. but if i had to list a few small complaints, .... the bottom bar has too much of a tendency to obscure the screen for some of the time. there's too many commercials (an ideal video watching environment wouldn't have any commercials). it runs slow sometimes. i don't like streaming in general because it is cumbersome to start and stop, cue up to different places, or play at different speeds, etc. Even when there's no ads it actually shows you a pop up that advertises no ads. these are just some of the small complaints i have, but it's not really a big deal. they are the biggest platform out there, and it seems to work just fine, and i am grateful that i have access to it, and also grateful that i have been able to do well on it
