arussell322 If you watch youtube on the chrome browser you can install an adblocking extension and there are android apps that block ads too.

I’ve exhausted most of Netflix, thanks to binge watching, so atm it‘s Youtube for me, watching lots of travel vlogs and mukbang videos

There are things I watch on both (plus Amazon Prime Video). But I do find that once you've watched all the things you're really interested in seeing on Netflix it gets increasingly harder find content you want to watch. Whereas, I find Amazon Prime has greater depth of content. YouTube is good for out of print/ harder to see films, documentaries, etc.

I switch between both. My mood changes. Not watched something on Netflix for a few weeks now. Nothing really interests me. I've watched most of them anyway

YouTube is more exciting because you never know what you're going to get with the vast range of people on there. It's free as well which helps.

Netflix all the way in our house would have been lost without it during lockdown

Probably Youtube.. mainly because you can get carried away from the video you watch at the start and can end up watching a cat washing a car or something 😆

Youtube at the moment for me, I find that there are more documentaries for me to watch on there. I think ive watched all the ones on Netflix.

I prefer Netflix but starting to find it hard to find anything interesting that grabs my attention, I have been watching a lot more on BBC iPlayer.

This may be an old post/chat, but I’d say I prefer YouTube over Netflix previously, and it still applies today

I guess its like any such services they aren't really competing with each other as one is free and one has more up to date commercial films and television programs. I won't pretend I know much about netflix as I've never tried it but have seen cough... a few netflix programs on other streaming services.

I've been enjoying Raised by Wolves recently and that is Sky Atlantic and Now TV I think. So much stuff now is spread out on many different subscription services. So presumably Prime, Netflix, Disney Plus, Paramount etc are all useless services if you want to watch that program.

Youtube and it is free. I watch mostly USA chat shows from the seventies to the 90's and I am amazed what was allowed back then. Also music videos, films, documentaries, etc

I cancelled my Netflix subscription yesterday. I was struggling to find content I wanted to watch. Although, I do intend to sign up with them again in the future. There are so many different streaming services now I'm planning to jump from one to another every month or so. Starting of with Disney+. I like watching films and documentaries on YouTube.

Peaky blinders is a must!

Benidorm is amazing for simple comedy that can be watched over and over

Schitts creek is my all time favourite comedy

The crown is good for an evening or a Sunday watch

Schitts Creek is awesome. I knew it would be good with it having Jim's dad from American Pie as the lead character.
