Yesterday I started watching YouTube on my phone then I thought why not watch it on my tablet. Then today I thought why not through the TV you fucking dimwit. Seriously, I turned the TV down, set up my tablet on the foot stool to watch while laying down with the dog and no one said anything to me.
I hate YouTube on TVs, and really smart TVs in general. It's always so laggy, and I haven't quite worked out how to sideload apps onto them so have been stuck with 50 ads so I just don't watch them.
Plus I feel like YouTube videos are almost always made to be watched on a computer at biggest, so blowing them up to a 55" screen never looks right to me, and a lot of videos aren't in 4k.
There's also a creator I watch who doesn't have stabilisation on his camera and I can't watch him on anything bigger than a phone screen or I get motion sick (even though I don't normally get motion sick)
Bro! I HATE smart TVs, and youtube is the bane of my existence! I can do an hour or 2 on how shit the whole thing is EASY.
Oh I just watch Freakin' Reviews on there. He only road tests gadgets but its still good camera work.
