I really never realized how much content existed on youTube. By that I mean, the variety. Inn the past, I used YouTube to find out how to make some home or automotice repair. I never really thought of it as a source of education or entertainment, even though I knew people that did.

there’s a YouTube channel I watch on a semi-regular basis, Zach Costello. He’s an interesting guy, very opinionated, and for my entertainment, clearly a conspiracy theorist.
