16 to 34 year olds in the UK watch 46 minutes of YouTube per day.

YouTube’s UK boss (Ben McOwen Wilson) has said his platform is more representative of modern Britain than broadcasters such as the BBC, saying that television channels are falling behind because they do not provide material that speaks directly to all parts of the country.

The Google-owned video service is on the cusp of overtaking the BBC as the dominant media source for 16- to 34-year-olds in the UK, with the average adult internet user watching 46 minutes of YouTube per day.

Its growing dominance of the UK media market has focused government attention on the site’s impact on traditional broadcast outlets and whether it should have similar public service obligations to traditional television channels. (LINK)

What are these 16 to 34 year olds watching?

Personally I only really find it essential for advice on DIY type tasks. What do you watch on YouTube?

Why do you "log in" to YouTube?
Does it offer any particular advantages?

There is a whole world of content out there. Have a look, you might like it!

I'm sure there is and that perhaps is the problem, it is like going through a dumpster on the basis that you might find something worthwhile in there

I do consult YouTube when I want to sort out a problem around the house - like a blocked sink, working out how to wire a two-way switch, how to have a bathroom extractor fan switched on with the light but keep running after switching off the light. For these issues, YouTube is sans pareil.
