I have put together a trailer, small cuts of my favorite YouTube channels its about 20 minutes of non-stop video as I have about 100 channels I follow. I am planning on discussing these channels broken up in genres in future videos. If you see anything you prefer let me know and I can make priority to start a genre that interests the community the most. A few years back I started subscribing to interesting channels on YouTube, before D.tube was even a thing. I found many channels feeding my interests much better than what I found on cable TV. I noticed as time went on, how cable TV was for the most part just bad and negative content. Since the shows have such tight controls on what they can say and do, none of it feels natural at all. And as time has gone on, it shows how the advertisers on TV networks can have a "chilling effect" on the content that gets on the networks.
I also got frustrated at how the FCC would not allow certain words on TV, even late at night in some cases. Or bleeping out words about Cannabis in rap songs so they could be on TV. In the name of family friendly content. Due to this it has become so bland and boring, like attempting clean comedy. I have grown no longer interested in what the mainstream media offers.
This has all caused me to move away from mainstream media, doing my best to move over to d.tube, steemit and other decentralized social media platforms completely but in the mean time there are still many content creators on YouTube that I think my Followers and the Steemit Community should know about. Did you know Steemit even has a Youtube page with Ned Scott discussing changes? It only has 2k subscribers which is amazing. I feel closer to content creators on YouTube, Steemit and D.tube than the news anchors or celebrities on TV. I have no interest in the gossip of Hollywood or what the President did today.
I enjoy many channels with adventure, crypto, markets, gaming, learning, marijuana culture and strain reviews, music, social issues, just wtf content creators that leave your head scratching, war footage, violence and weapons. Of the footage I show in this video, I have roughly half a dozen to a dozen content creators that I follow for each genre. Some channels going across multiple genres.
YouTube is becoming like Cable TV in how they receive funding for ads on their platform, causing mass bannings and demonetization of non-family friendly content. Some of these content creators banned from YouTube have moved to Steemit. So I am not suggesting anyone else join in Youtube for adding content. If anything ask your favorite content creator to consider moving to D.tube and Steemit if they have been getting demonetized. As companies will complain that their ads are being shown on videos that may not fit the principles of the company advertising on Youtube. In return Youtube will ban or demonize the offending content creator on YouTube. This is a flawed system IMO and will not allow information to flow. A user based upvote system like Steemit, or Mithril or maybe Minds ERC20 token is a solution. But not depending on large but few sources of funding.
Disclaimer: There is a trailer of upcoming Youtube channels I am planning on covering in this video. Of which some have drug use, show violence, gore, blood, hunting or general unlawfulness. If this offends you best to not watch the trailer.

I PREFER STEEMIT
@wendyth16
Steemit has some really great content, I like how its very grass-roots to me.
Awesome man! Still can’t view your videos which is sad but this is so interesting I am going figure out a way. As for your post I couldn’t agree more. I stopped with tv about a.l decade ago. Why pay for something that has commercials. And it garbage anyways. History and sci-fi used to be cool but you already know what happened there. As always the best!
@balticbadger
If your trying to view it on Safari, especially on an older iPhone that is probably why. You may need to use a Mac laptop, or PC desktop to view it. Or on an Android device my Samsung Galaxy plays them without issue, I just tested the link on my phone.
Good, glad others have cut the cord too.. Yeah I never understood why I should pay hundreds of dollars a month to also have to deal with advertisements.. The same for satellite radio, why should I pay for a service and then still have to listen to commercials.
Yeah Scifi was one of the channels I used to watch alot of, one of maybe 5 channels out of 200 I cared about.
Hope you get the video working.
