I don’t know if this is a “generational” thing. I don’t live in the US and me and my parents watch Youtube all day, and I know that a lot of older folk also prefer to set up a playlist with funny videos instead f watching TV. My baby cousin is 3 and already knows how to use Youtube from his mother’s mobile,yes, but grandmas,parents, teachers, lawyers, etc., are on it as well. I think this is just the world changing and adapting as we did with mobiles and tablets.
YouTubers in my country are really big and also are given shows and parts in movies, even when here YTpartners earn considerably less than their american counterpart
Where do Millennials stop and the next generation begin? What are we calling the next generation? This seems to be very much about the generation that comes after Millennials.
Which seems to confirm the impression I can’t shake no matter what that so called millennials are, in general terms and of course with noted exceptions, a generation mostly composed of ignorant idiots, mediocre and passive consumers of trivial content and dumbed down consumer technology and cannon fodder for a low cost generation that most likely will end up filling up junk jobs while a 1% manages their world. Some might argue that doesn’t make them that different from previous generations, but I beg to differ. They are different. Talk to them. See if they are to understand or process anything that happened before 2000. I don’t know if I should pity them or be deeply scared for the time I’m old and these folks are fill most positions in society.
@Richard: You seem to be suggesting that a differing preference between TV and online video is relevant to your conclusion. Hardly. This seems to be a matter of you dismissing forms of entertainment that you haven’t developed a preference for.
When it comes to comparing educational entertainment in both forms, Youtube and the internet in general has US TV stations like History and National Geographic easily beaten. If you want to talk about the people filling junk jobs, consider the credulity of the minds that tune into things like “Ancient Aliens” and Fox News. Then watch a video by a Youtuber like QualiaSoup.

You sound like a bitter old man Richard. if anything they are unique because you can control them like previous generations.
