YouTube has become the default screen for millions of people. It’s where you go when you want either light entertainment, deep dives, video game streaming, or something specific or weirdly niche. Unlike traditional streaming platforms, YouTube does not demand commitment from you. It just delivers. Whether it is a 12-minute video essay on rom-com tropes or a chaotic vlog filmed from someone’s kitchen at 2 a.m., it’s even become an alternative to Netflix or Prime Video for many people.
