KZbin has become the great library of the world. No matter what your interests KZbin has channels about it. You need to fix leaking faucet there are thousands of video about how to fix it , want to know the best faucets there are videos about that. Remodel your bathroom, kitchen, whole house build house, make the bricks to build your house, it goes on forever. Music of every type you can think of and thousand types you never knew existed.

[@enchantedrockview]

KZbin + KZbin Music is the best for music, honestly.

Of course these are the clowns who don't stop to think that livestreams for 2 hours aren't going to capture much audience for a long period of viewing time. And the livestreams are worthless since they waste 2 hours of time that could be slimmed down to 15 minutes.

[@focused313]

Another reason I think youtube wins is because it's more like streaming, social media, and a forum built in one for different people. There are videos with full blown conversations going on like it's reddit.

@@nucleardog6675to be honest it may not have been cnbc and msnbc aren’t carried by many cable companies or were available only by request or more expensive cable tiers or as a news tier or bundle etc. KZbin has the one benefit regulators won’t ever seem to let cable providers have…KZbin has all sorts of content without being blocked into only watching this or only watching that or being arbitrarily blocked or paywalled. Cable is not allowed by law in the us in most jurisdictions to sell channels individually to viewers/customers or let customers pick what to watch, at best they can bundle types of content or separate content into basic and premium price tiers

KZbin does what the other major platforms don't... They invite everyone to create content. KZbin now has creators producing content that is just as high in production value as traditional media. The only people surprised by this are people who never explored KZbin, regardless of generation... My step-dad, who's a "Boomer," loves KZbin! KZbin has substance, quality, and personality. Netflix lacks personality. Disney+ doesn't have tech reviews. Hulu lacks skippable ads. Paramount Plus has limited content. HBO doesn't have enough compelling shows to justify paying all year. KZbin Premium is the only service I'm happy to pay for separately from a cellular bundle, because KZbin Premium just makes my favorite platform even better by removing ads and throwing in KZbin Music Premium as a bonus.

[@mintheman7]

KZbin is much more interactive compare to traditional streaming and has much more diverse content, so it is no surprise it is dominating. Shorter videos also mean it is less of commitment for people to watch than traditional “episodes.” But google has been getting more and more greedy with the ads. It’s ridiculous to have to sit through a 30-second ad just for a 1-minute video. Hopefully there will be some kind of competition/alternative to KZbin in the future to keep them on their toes.

KZbin wins

[@scottmiller3131]

KZbin actually listens to thier users. It’s beyond frustrating that Netflix or other streaming services have too much encryption. If I pay for your service I should be able to watch it on ANY device. I can mirror KZbin to any TV or monitor with a single button. Netflix’s needs me to only watch thier content on devices they approve

[@daveharris2884]

I haven't had cable TV since 2009. And a big part of that was KZbin. Another reason is that the Daily Show, Colbert Report, and a lot of other shows streamed on their website. Like Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I used to watch movies, but not anymore.

[@TechMDYoutube]

Been watching KZbin since 2006 I haven’t watched traditional news media and many years. Although I did watch a few episodes of NBC’s nightly news, but that’s national news and at least they released a full episode versus clips like other competing news networks. I’m surprised that the bigger networks haven’t made some arrangement with KZbin to broadcast directly to their KZbin channel. Clearly sports needs to do this. Make a 90% arrangement or they take 90% of the revenue and give KZbin 10% but they have 24 seven content it would seem like a no-brainer but they don’t do it.

[@rushabhpatel4291]

KZbin needs to improve its tv app. I really miss speed controls on tv app. Watching this on tv.

[@xGaLoSx]

KZbin premium is definitely the most important service I pay for. If I had to keep only 1, it's not even close.

[@MT-xf3eb]

Love youtube. On it everyday

[@sor3999]

Profit sharing with independent content creators was basically the best move Google ever did. It allowed many small creators to fill in small niches. It's not just the obsessed parasocial aspect. The meta video gaming content I consume was basically what G4 should've been all those years ago. This space is truly a "for fans, by fans" content. Not to mention all the odd topics covered by the likes of CGP Grey (I learned tumbleweed is an invasive species).

[@412StepUp]

I watch KZbin more than I watch everything else combined.

[@dis-springs]

It's the ads, not the content. Case in point... If you watch an hour of network television, 20-30 mins of it will be promos and repetitive ads. And it's the same if you spend an hour skipping from channel to channel on KZbin or some other streaming platform. And yeah, this may be fine with you if you're in your teens and 20s, but if you're in your 40s of 50s... it's pure torture. That being said, if KZbin were to drop it's ad-free premium option, I'd probably switch to Patreon or something.

[@YouTube_Staff]

Half of these KZbin video usage on television are just baby shark and cocomelon on repeat

[@seizieme]

For me it’s also music video playlists for house parties or just chilling. MTV is so dead.

[@drunkenbeing]

If Netflix launches an ad model with 4-5 ads of 1 minute each in the 40 minute episode, I would gladly watch that.

[@cryptowire]

Love KZbin, I wouldn’t be able to make the content I make now if it wasn’t for KZbin 💪🏽💯

[@marcomarc151]

I still can't afford these streaming services, Meanwhile youtube: *I'm free baby*

[@Jay-jb2vr]

KZbin has been winning for quiet some time now. I stopped watching cable television back in 2008. Disney+ sucks ass and Netflix is just loaded with C and D movies. With KZbin you can literally watch WHATEVER you want. It's a niche platform.

[@user-bg7nm4ez3i]

I would slightly disagree, yes you can watch an unlimited amount of content but to say you can watch whatever you want is a bit of a stretch. KZbin is a great platform to watch personal or specific content, random videos or learning guides but it can’t replace streaming services like Netflix or something similar because they offer one thing KZbin can’t, KZbin is creator lead content which is great for somethings but not others and the creators who use this platform likely don’t have the money to make high quality content that you would find on Netflix etc or story based content like Harry Potter or one piece, means that those streaming services still have a place. I watch KZbin for specific videos that can’t be done on regular tv or streaming to justice but watch Netflix etc when i want to watch high quality story based content done to a justice KZbin can’t.

[@joelch20071]

it really bothers me watching something on netflix, and not having a comment section to discuss the content

[@mcglubski]

Why in the hell do other streaming services not have the ability to make playlists and save favorite videos? It's ridiculous and lazy

[@handsoffmymacaroni102]

I love KZbin. It replicates the social experience and excitement of Cable TV with the on-demand content of Streaming. Since anybody with a computer ( or even just a phone!) there is a huge amount of variety. The recomdiaton algorithm is amazing, and gives me so many new channels to watch every day.

[@All-The-Best-To-You]

I just cancelled Netflix after 12-13 years. Now, I am gonna axe STARZ and Apple TV too. KZbin is just enough for me and is free.

[@enadegheeghaghe6369]

Not really free with the tons of ads. LOL

I just joined your VIP group, and I'm already seeing some amazing results. Thank you for all the incredible resources and guidance you provide!

[@MikeGainsM]

A KZbin creator can put out great content each week. Whereas these other platforms have full teams involved, lots of decisions makers, and they put out new content much slower. It won’t be possible for them to compete barring the occasional very high budget movie or series they produce

[@ourfamilyaccount]

KZbin is diverse and I think that's why it's winning. I have a song stuck in my head ~ watch the music video Have a home- improvement problem ~ seek out a video guide If bored doing a chores ~ listen to a longer discussion video If I have downtime ~ watch a KZbin video I do still watch anime on Crunchyroll and Amazon Prime Video when I want a contained story experience but I do find myself quite addicted to this platform.

[@Muffinman2nd]

i watch nothing but youtube. anything else gets the pirate hat

[@RudieObias]

I love KZbin! I watch it more than any other streaming service, but I rarely watch it on my big screen TV. I mostly watch it on my iPad or MacBook Air

[@willemvanriet7160]

People are sick of celebrities We just want to see user created content from regular folks

[@EDFilmsUK]

Yeah, until they become KZbin celebrities themselves…

[@eliporter3980]

20 years ago I had a cable subscription, a Netflix subscription, and watched KZbin sparingly. Today I watch KZbin 99% of the time.

[@theinfinitymachine9610]

I watch more KZbin than others. Lots of channels like Project Kamp, Shawn James, Simple Living Alaska, etc. real people and not a script.

[@saulgoodman2018]

Not a script? Yeah right.

[@andg5194]

I WFH and I have YT running on the background whole day, just auto playing random stuff, just as background noise. I don't have to set aside a time and day to really watch it. It's like back in the days, you have TV on whole day, while cleaning, cooking, or folding laundry, Like having radio on while driving
