A lot of people are actually watching YouTube videos on their smart TV. Once I connect my phone to the smart TV or navigate to the YouTube app on the TV, I could watch YouTube for hours without even touching my phone again. I watch tutorials, football highlights and many more. The videos just feel better on the big screen. Funny enough it's those short ads that are a pain in the neck because you can't just ignore them easily except they count down to zero. My cousin hardly watches normal TV channels again, she watches YouTube video every evening. People just choose whatever gives them the most value.
