How do you watch YouTube?

[SomeGuyDude]

Sounds like a weird question, but I figure we don't all use YT the same way. For me, I have it going in the background at pretty much all times. It's why I like LP's. When it's a game I'm really interested in I'll tab over and watch it specifically, but a lot of the time it's like listening to the radio for me. I also have been known to have it going in the gym with me.

What about you guys?

EDIT: I should say I'm not asking WHAT you watch, but HOW you watch, haha. I mean we all have our favorite types of videos, but do you sit and watch them in bed? On your TV? Do they play in the background while you walk on the treadmill?

Well, first of all I watch way too much stuff on YouTube (maybe because I'm subscribed to like 15 people). I also enjoy listening to podcast while doing other stuff like washing dishes or editing videos ^^

The wife gave me a Chromecast for Xmas. Works great for YT. If there's nothing on TV, or we don't have anything from Channel BT, we'll queue up videos from our devices.

Speaking of Chromecast. Mine doesn't seem to serve up any ads before the videos. Google search suggests that it should.

Chromecast and ads are sorta hit and miss. Sometimes they happen, sometimes they don't. I think Google might factor the purchase into things.

Yep, never seen an ad served up yet.

Surprised the Chromecast isn't in the list of devices when you look into analytics. A bit worrying if you're getting a high % of views from this device, and it's not serving ads.

Depends on the video, if I know they're gonna sit and talk for 4 minutes or so, I can listen and go back and forth from whatever I'm doing. Otherwise its me, sitting in bed, watching on my laptop or phone

I'm subscribed to roughly 100 different people on YouTube and because I have an unhealthy addiction to YouTube I make sure that I watch every single video that every single subscription uploads. One of the things that I like to do is watch anything that isn't a daily vlog throughout the day when I'm not busy, so during my various breaks from work and homework and naps (I like naps!). And then with daily vlogs I like to add them to my watch later and put them on before I go to bed : )
