Creators often quote how few of their viewers come from subscribers. I am amazed that the vast majority of YouTube watchers just happily let YouTube decide what shit to show them.
It’s because they’re generally pretty good at showing me interesting content. Also, if you regularly watch a given creator’s videos as soon as they come out, they will be at the top of your recommend anyway.
I doubt it’s the majority of watchers, but it is the majority of time watched.
I watch an occasional half our while eating, exclusively from my subscriptions feed.
But the kind of person who just watches whatever YouTube shovels at them – they’re watching for hours and hours on end, just letting the next video autoplay every time.
I don’ think there are more braindead watchers – it’s just that the braindead watchers are the ones who watch the most.

That’s wild. I guess it’s like channel surfing, but jeez.
