I'm on Youtube everyday for hours looking up video game walthroughs and trailers and also looking at Ftm guys and listening to music and more. If I'm on the internet then I'm on Youtube. I don't vlog yet but I do plan to when I begin my transition whenever that may be.
How about you? What do you use Youtube for and how often are you on it?
I spend a lot of time looking up videos on DID and plane crashes.
DID because we are one....
And plane crashes because...I don't know, they're fascinating in a horrific way.
Oh yeah, I like carrier landings too. (Best flying video I've seen is a 6 minute with a camera on the pilot-trainee's helmet...launched off a carrier, flies to the back, and lands with a good arrest. A real "You-are-THERE!" video. It's called "Lap around the boat."
Lap Around The Boat (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aw4dZ2bJnGI#)
I have my own channel, but mainly to favorite and playlist videos I like. I don't see myself as having very much to say that requires a video (well, maybe how to use eyeshadow on hooded eyelids...still haven't found a video that adequately explains the how and why)
'm on there every day or every couple of days, 90% of the time for music ;D
I also subscribe to two channels: The Gentlemen's Rant and Regular Ordinary Swedish Mealtime because I love ridiculous hilarity
A few weeks ago I woulda said barely at all..
But recently I got hooked watching just about every episode of JennaMarbles (hilarious stuff) and CandiFLA's blog
As an introduction to JennaMarbles I'd recommend the episode "What I'm doing instead of cleaning my room" or something like that..
It changes tbh. If i've got something in mind, i'll go on there to check out make-up/clothing/beauty tips, occassionally i'll check out funny clips via ->-bleeped-<- and sometimes theres times when i'm on wikipedia and whatever it is im reading may have been filmed, so i'll check those out too (I'm a fountain of useless knowledge and facts!)
X
a few times a day
I'm on maybe once every day or two. I'm mostly looking up music, if not something comedic that a friend sent me or found through links.

I'll try in the near future get some of my super-8 movies from the 1970's converted and put them on my channel. I got a lot of the "Cats and Traps" movies of the older aircraft that was around at the time. I shot them all from the "Vultures row" on the island. F-4, A-4, A-6, C1, C2, F-14, E-2C, EA-6B, S-2, S-3, Sea King chopper, P-3, Russian Bear, and a lot of other aircraft in movies and on film I shot from the deck.

Topic: How Often Do You Use Youtube?
I don't know if it's just me, or what...but everytime I see this topic in my "recent" list, I *see*..."
How Often Do You Use Lube?" :-X
That would be a Freudian slip, yes?
:laugh:

Gotta put that Commie in red... ;)...(said with all due respect, I'm glad as all hell we didn't mix it up with them...) OMG did you launch a Bear (TU-95) from a carrier? That'd be like launching a BUFF...
The A-4 is my personal favorite single-seat aircraft...no bells or whistles, just performance "as advertised."
And yeah, I'd very much appreciate the effort. Plus, it'd save it for future generations (I hear film gets old and deteriorates.)
No Bear from the carrier, but a reconnaissance flyby. We were notified of the thing coming after we launched a E-2C and it detected it coming around Norway. We were crossing the Atlantic and was nearing Spain and the Med. We launched a few A-7's to intercept the Bear and a lot of us went up to the flight deck to see it. I brought up my movie camera and shot the flyby. The Bear was huge and it made those A-7's look like toys alongside!
Larger planes such as the C-130 Hercules were tested on the USS Forrestal in the early 1960's. In one of the arresting cable compartments on the ship was a landing weight list of the different aircraft in case one had to do the adjustments in that room. The usual suspects such as the A-6, F-14 and the others were listed, then it had a number for the C-130 and the last one was B-52.....RUN LIKE HELL!

I frequent a BUFF site, and snagged a USN pic (i.e., public domain) of a B-52 flying near the USS Ranger, iirc in the 70's:

(fyi...the bomber isn't heading into the water, it normally flies with a nose-down attitude. It looks very small next to a carrier...)
I use it a lot to watch amvs and music videos. I also have been looking up gender stuff lately.
I check youtube almost daily. I watch a lot of TAS runs of frustratingly difficult mario hacks, my favorite anime opening music and the occasional m2f transition video.
I use YouTube almost every day to listen to music I cannot afford. It's good stuff. <3
What's You Tube ?
Just joking. But just about never.
Always. If you have ever got inside a "how it's made" loop you will understand.
Everyday while I am working on the computer. Put on some music otherwise my job would bore me to tears.
I suppose I watch at least 2-3 videos on YouTube every day. While the videos look fine, I hate YouTube's internal navigation and I even find their "channel" pages confusing. I've found a simple way to find most anything on YouTube by going to Google first.
In Google, type a search like this:
french twist site:www.youtube.com
This does a Google site search of only pages at YouTube and usually brings up the best videos on the subject near the top. If you're looking for only the latest videos, click "More search tools" in the left hand column and then "Past month", "Past week" or whatever. I usually keep a browser tab open with just the Google search and open videos in new tabs. For (weekly) searches I repeat regularly, I simply bookmark the search and it comes up instantly when I need it again.

I have my own YouTube channel, and I upload a video every day! 8,000 subscribers, 1 million video views... one of the very few things i'm extremely proud of :)
As for watching... I also watch way too much! I'm subcribed to mainly gamers, but also a few FTM channels and vloggers. Usually watch about 15 videos a day, which doesn't sound like a lot... but they're usually about 6-10 minutes long each :D
I tend to just use youtube for music, but the other day i was watching old black and white cartoons and mindlessly clicked to a Barefoot Gen hiroshima cartoon and have hardly slept since. But I found this and so youtube is still pure win in my eyes:
Koko the Clown sings "St. James Infirmary Blues" in Betty Boop's Snow White (http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=aDATXtewPrg&NR=1#)
I use it a lot, like everyday 24/7. As soon as I get home I'm on YouTube. ;D
