As someone who is just a bit over the age of 40, I do spend most of my TV watching time with Youtube. However, my viewing habits are not for watching these channels in question. I'm more into the killing 10 minutes paradigm. I choose Youtube because I can search for something I'm interested in, get a bunch of hits, and just pick one. If I like it, I let it keep going, if not, I skip it or just turn it off. I don't like investing a lot of time in searching through the Netflix/Hulu catalog, and eventually deciding via "meh".
As far as these types of popular or personality cult channels go, I pass. I don't understand the draw. I understand the ones where you watch people play video games; that makes sense. What I don't understand is watching people open boxes, reaction videos (where you watch someone react to a video they are watching), or those videos where people are complaining about something/someone on Youtube/Twitter/Facebook/Snapchat and how that affects them.
