Nah I’m the weird one who only sometimes does it to watch old memes and do yoga

I actually have two YouTube accounts. One for kiddo, runs on TV and app which I both hate, with cartoons and catchy tasteless crap which I'm trying to weed out but parents... well. At least I have some control. The other runs on browser and it's a meticulously curated randomness.

I watch it on TV, Phone and Tablet. It's more often the Tab. If it's something I really like, I'll put it on TV and when I cannot find my tab or if it's charging, I'll watch it on my phone. I'm spoilt (blessed) with choice.

I'm in the latter camp and I'm usually watching WVFRM.

My biggest gripe is they all seem to struggle with adjusting the speed yet keeping 4K.. I find if I even jump to 1.2-3x, it drops to qualities of like 720p or worse and that drives me crazy!

Uhm. I almost never watch YouTube on tv. But when I watch tv I watch YouTube. 😂

YouTube? Yuck.

Team Never. OK maybe not "never," but if I had to estimate, I would say more than 98% of my YouTube consumption is on the computer in a web browser.

Real! Im the first one.

I’m mostly on TV but sometimes on laptop, tablet, or phone.

On the TV a LOT 😅

So? What am I missing?

I’m a switch hitter I suppose.

I’m the first one. A friend of mine is the second. So I dabble when I visit their house.

Always on the TV. Gotta use the biggest screen!

..and…Never watch you tube

Youtube is for the small screen. My kid doesn't have the same limitations

90% YouTube time on TV

Almost exclusively on the big screen

And then there's those of us who remember getting rid of cable, because there was so much to watch on YouTube, and no advertisements

Why are YT ad durations so much longer on TV than on my PC or phone?

I use my steam deck exclusively to stream on my TV lol

I watch on TV most of the time. But also on phone sometimes too

Well I’m in between…lol

I’m in the first category. Always on it on my iPhone.

unless you have premium forget ittttt

Life without it? Can't go back to that mess. Gotta have it. 😂

wait how else are people meant to watch family guy

TV all the time here

I am the 2nd type.

YT on the TV all the time!

And then there's me, only watching it on the TV when the video is of high enough production value to take advantage of my G3 and surround sound.

I don’t watch YouTube on the TV, but on ever other device. Through would it count if my laptop is like my TV? If that is the case, then yeah…I do.

Team all the time

I watch both but prefer on the TV

Yeah, why watch a 55' screen, when you can watch a screen the size of a wallet?

YouTube on TV is the background music to my life

Always on a tablet or pc. Youtube videos just don't feel right on TV to me.

<--- all the time

All the time for like the last fifteen years. I’ve had an Apple TV longer than that. But only via subscription; can’t take the commercials.

My kids and husband are team on the TV, and I am team off the tv...

My TV is for YouTube. 100%

This can be further simplified to: people who have YouTube on their TV, and people who do not

I'm the type that watches TV shows on YouTube (on the Interwebs).

I love YouTube on TV. We do Yoga, aerobics for old ladies, and music with fireplace scenes.

I’m one of those lucky persons who watches on the TV 95% of the time and doesn’t get any ads. I don’t have YouTube Premium so don’t know how that exactly works

Type 2 here.

YT on TV 75% of the time.

Is there a 4th Type, you're watching Youtube on your TV while watching YT shorts on your phone?

In the last year or so I've become the latter. Normal TV just doesn't have much appeal now.

Voice search is used often in my household or just pushing from the phone

You can hook in your youtube account and search on the samsung tv’s youtube app now. Basically like chrome casting

I create a playlist on my phone and use my Chromecast to watch it on the TV. So much easier!

I’m in the latter. There came a point in time when videos replaced cable tv. Who would have thought.

Team TV! Easily my Number 1 streaming service.

I watch YouTube on TV some of the time. I know someone who plays music for dogs w/anxiety thru YouTube on TV while he's out. I like to play this when I'm cold in the evenings. www.youtube.com/watch?v=iaQB...

I’m the latter. I love when creators are all, “the link is here” and the point to som invisible thing that I can’t see on my 65” OLED TV. 😁

That was my only use case when I first got my fire TV. To watch YT on dumb 32 inch tv

It’s where I get your shows, StarTalk, PBS SpaceTime and Eons. You can get great educational entertainment that it would be difficult to aggregate anywhere else.

YouTube is for phone and PC. I don’t need to see (insert popular YouTuber) bigger than my aunts rear end.

iMac during lunch break at the office, TV at home for sure! It‘s the best 🙌

I’m not your dad

Sometimes, but i also just have terrible vision.

Definitely the latter here!

Very true I watch on laptop. My dad always on the TV.

18 seasons of Taskmaster are on YouTube btw

find alternatives .. google has a monopoly w utube , ive blacklisted since inauguration and transferred my stuff to vimeo

On the TV but in Belize you can do that with no ads.

I only used Youtube TV to watch Helluva Boss, cuz it's basically a TV show.

Mostly TV for me. Sometimes through my laptop.

I do YT on the Phone, PC and TV!

YouTube is the most watch channel on US television now. Watched way more than anything else.

I refuse to watch YouTube with all the ads these days.

I watch YouTube on my tv occasionally

Actually there are ten types of people, those who understand binary arithmetic and those who don’t.

You forgot about type 3, the ones who speed thru school zones.

Where's all my homies that just watch YT on their PC? 🖥️🖱️

TV had a way to skip all adds early a year or two ago

In the UK most of our smart TVs actually have a specific YouTube button on the remote

All the time 🙋🏻‍♂️

In fact, there’s seven types of people: those who are good with numbers and those who aren’t!

Or streaming services Regular normal boring Tele Never

Im the latter.

All the time! I be chillin' on the couch with the Buds connected to the big screen, or doing the dishes and listening to the Pod 😂 @andrewmanganelli.bsky.social

I can't block the ads on the Apple TV app... why on earth would I use YouTube without an ad blocker?

I watch YouTube on TV almost every night. Sometimes I watch a streaming service first but usually spend more time on those searching for something to watch before giving up and switching to YouTube.

Mostly true. Some of watch every couple of weeks for 30-40 minutes. Mostly guitar tutorials.

99.999999% on the TV

Mainly laptop and TV for me

Type 3: ONLY watch YouTube on TV

I’m watch YouTube all the time.

I’m the former

pretty much only watch Youtube on TV and its also pretty much the only media I watch on TV.....

Went from one to the other and I miss having edu content playing on my TV all day.

I even have YouTube TV

Either you do or you don’t. Binary statement.

I do both. When I'm at work, car or doing errands I use my phone. During lunch or a meal I use the TV.

i don’t have a tv

Guilty, and I can't stand the fact that I can't skip the ads, but that's how I've done the YouTubes for the past 7 or 8 years. I can't stop now...

It is simple for me: when in bed it is my phone, otherwise 80% of the time on TV through my Apple TV.

I watch YouTube on the TV maybe 5% of the time

I'm in the first group and my husband's in the second

YouTube on TVs sucks. The UI is horrible.

I watch YT on my computer because it still has an active ad block. My phone is second, for convenience in the bed and bathroom, but I have to skip the ads when using it.

99.5% of the time, I'm watching YT on the TV in the living room. :)

I am the latter kind of person.

No easy adblock on the TV apps, so it’s laptop / phone for YouTube.

I guess I don't really exist 🙃

Well how else do you watch long docuvideos on extremely niche subjects late at night? TV is the way to go!

TV, about 95%, pretty vids, thoughty vids, learny vids, instructional, music, seeing places I will never see in real life, and no comments to ruin the experience

There's a 3rd type: Those who don't watch YouTube at all.

I will VERY RARELY watch YouTube on the TV, 99% of the time it's because I'm eating a snack while on a game console

adblockers also skip all in-video sponsor bits except youtube ads. Once you go ReVanced you won't be able to watch Youtube again, be it standard or premium.

I use Nextdns to get rid of most of everything at the dns level.

Smart Tube fixes that. That's a big reason why I use an Android-based smart TV.

Used to love YouTube when it started, now I try to avoid using it as much as the plague.

Yep, I am type 1 and my husband is type 2 😂

i watch youtube like 80% of the time on my tv.

I watch YouTube on my cellphone and laptop, I'm the first type of people
