I only use youtube for watching specific SCBW games and music. I do not subscribe to anyone. I do not care to listen to your rants or thoughts.

As far as uploading my own videos goes, I don't do it. I do see some purpose in it for private videos, for a group of specific people, but I have no interest in expressing myself in the form of videos to the internet.

Now, there is no correct way to use it. Use it how you like. Let your friends use it how they like.

As a person whose main income is provided through youtube ad revenue I have to say that I LOVE talking to people who have no idea what the capabilities of youtube are. It always makes me giggle when I explain the idea behind it and see their reactions.

This is why I dont ever use it to search for videos.

I literally only go to youtube to watch shows that im subscribed too(Athene, yogscast, sxephil, totalbiscuit etc. etc.). I never give the other trash a chance.

Sorry its just funny when you mention awful and rants and people who share opinion then u tell us that u are subscribed to athene.

I myself use youtube for discovering music. The related stuff is actually pretty decent and link me to more and more songs that I may not have discovered. I watch sxephil and kassemG sometimes when I get bored. All in all people have the right to express their opinions whether they are stupid or not, sometimes it leads to amusement.

I manage all my subscriptions to blogs, youtube channels, and newspapers through Google Reader. For youtube, i am mostly subscribed to BW uploaders, but I also follow Top Gear and a few humor channels as well.

I've never made an account. I mostly use youtube for watching funny videos, like the ones that go viral and stuff, or ones that you share with your friends because they are just really funny. I also occasionally look up a music video.

I hate the popular channels with "youtube celebrities". They always try so hard to be funny but there videos just aren't that funny to me. Youtube is like a way way way worse version of TV, because the quality of content and production value is incredibly low, but with the occasional awesome video. Overall, I think it's a good thing, though, and it's great for sharing videos with friends, too.

I use YT for mainly two things: BW VODs and exploring new music.

I made a youtube account a few months ago to upload music lol: http://www.youtube.com/user/goodmusicforthesoul

I do appreciate your uploads. I can safely say that I enjoy almost every song you upload onto the channel.

Personally, I use Youtube to watch BW VODs and for music. I enjoy listening to covers of songs and follow a few independent artists on Youtube.

I pretty much use it only when I get sent a link or follow a link from TL.

I have an account which I haven't used in perhaps two years. And unless I happen to create another video I don't expect to use it any time soon again.

A little bit harsh don't you think ? You can always choose what you watch..
But i agree that there is so much trash out there.. But after a while you can narrow down your options to those few that actually are worth your time.

Maybe it is also the way i think/judge and that is why i get so easily irritated when people make such fast assumptions. For example if i tell someone go watch OnePiece you will love it.. i expect him to go watch 600 episodes and then tell me his opinion :D Which isnt very practical though haha.

I just look if there is something new from my subscriptions. Favorite channel:

He rearranges songs and makes them amazing or just ridiculous. Here is a selection:
