Back in my day, YouTube was the video search engine where you sought out music videos. Where you saw Madonna whip it good. Or to watch uncomfortable homemade clips without the slightest inkling of what was to occur next.
Had TeacherTube ever really “made it?”
Goodness, then I couldn’t keep up with the changes! Make an account to save your fav vids or to make your own! Pay for YouTube Red! Oh, now it’s Premium. I’m already behind the times. Ads that blocked our enjoyment as we hoped to finish watching Bad Lip Reading! Go back to the way you were, YouTube!
As if all technology seems to go through puberty and adolescence, so did YouTube, where if you wanted all your videos saved in one place, make an account. Add those to a subscription.
Did I ever! I’ll barf out all my subscriptions right here!

1) The Infographics Show

I believe in the power of education. How weird that must sound. I think not. As I’ve aged–and not like cheese–I’ve found to learn something new every day is rewarding. That’s where I take you to The Infographics Show. Their animated videos are done in infographics, complete with voiceover. This YouTube channel has thousands of content is uploaded daily. It covers topics from animals, countries, history, the human body, natural disasters, the paranormal, sickness, technology, and war. Broken down, each video details statistics, wicked facts, and recent updates on what it covers. I say updates because there is an abundance on the channel that mentions reality: a survival story, an actual person. Most recently–in the past year–there were uploads on the coronavirus. There you go. I find this channel addicting, rife with endless content you never knew you never knew.

I didn’t use to imagine myself as a YouTube kind of person. Can’t take it back now.

There will be more posts about YouTube! So have you heard of any of these channels? Watch any of them? Let me know in the comments!!

While I did ask for the following for their permission: Buzzfeed, Elliandra, Merman Simmer, Merrily Kristin, Tasty, and Tucker Budzyn, I did not hear back from them for comment.
