I’ve been using youtube for a while now. It’s a good place for entertainment, news and even academics.
There are some really interesting youtubers who post content related to academics. If you missed something in the class, you can catch up on that concept with youtube.
Youtube also gives you the freedom to pause and watch it at your own speed. Not just academics you can learn various skills online too, like HTML, CSS, JavaScript etc
With so many youtubers uploading so much interesting content, youtube is loved by everyone
