More people are choosing YouTube as their go-to TV option, especially children and older viewers. Those aged 55+ now watch nearly double the amount of YouTube compared to last year, with 42% tuning in on their television. For kids aged 4 to 15, YouTube is the top choice when they turn on the TV.
We’d love to hear from viewers who prefer YouTube over traditional TV channels. When did you start watching more YouTube on TV? What made you switch? How does it compare to what you watched growing up? What are your favorite YouTube shows and why?
