My Youtube Playlist consists of a few different elements.
First, I use Youtube a lot for music and music videos. On my playlist you won’t find a lot of videos because the artists I like tend not to make official videos. So, it’s either a relevant piece of art or the album or single cover for the song. The artists I added in my playlist were Gramatik, BJ the Chicago Kid, Charles Mingus, Vulfpeck, Arctic Monkeys and, Earth Wind and Fire. As you might be able to interpret, those are from many different genres. For example, Gramatik is electronic dance music, BJ the Chicago Kid is R&B and soul and Neo, Charles Mingus is an old jazz musician and, Arctic Monkeys are a rock band and, Earth Wind and Fire are an old disco/rock band.
The second category of videos is political in nature. I don’t have many channels on my TV and, politicians and other media sources prefer to post videos from debates or interviews. It really allows me to target a specific topic I’m curious about and explore relevant videos. For example, I had noticed that Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump were using similar marketing strategies for their presidential campaign. And, to my surprise- I found a video of Bill O’Reily(a very right wing conservative Fox Anchor) discussing with Steven Colbert(a very left wing liberal late night show host) discussing the topic and I was able to educate myself much more on the topic. It was informative and quick and I was able to save it for future reference – one of my favorite Youtube capabilities.
Additionally, my limited TV capabilities prevents me from watching the republican debates. Which is a very entertaining and informative event that happens a lot. Recently, I found a video of Jeb Bush arguing with Donald Trump. It was entertaining because it’s representative of their entire relationship and their back and forth. Additionally, the comment section – which I tend to avoid shows supporters from both sides so it’s informative to see their opinions.
The next and most relevant part of my Youtube Playlist is filled with comedy. It includes comedy shows, comedy clips from tv and, youtube comedians.
Regarding comedy shows, a few comedians post their full comedy specials on YOutube and, those are really nice to watch once in a while. Some of the comedians I’ve added are: Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, Patrice ONeal. They provide these entirely free of charge and don’t litigate on the private uploaders who upload them. Additionally, they have these broken down into parts so it’s very convenient to watch a different segment if you aren’t interested in watching the entire special.
Additionally, the other videos are from Key & Peele- a very famous Comedy Central show. Similar to SNL, they are a largely based skit show. Alternative to the SNL, they post many of their videos online and encourage viewers to check out their Comedy CEntral show to see the rest of their videos.
The last video on my playlist is from Remi, a French prankster who does a lot of filmed tricks on people. It’s a nice channel to subscribe to and view all his videos on a binge once in a while.
