Like some of the posters, I watch a YouTube on my TV. I was surprised that Sonny and Deirdre were a little perplexed by this trend. YouTube has an amazing wealth of quality channels. Watching that content on my TV rather than my phone is far preferable.

Also of note: one of my kids has noted that he gets significantly more commercials when watching YouTube on the TV rather than his phone. He estimated about 1 ad per 6 minutes on his phone and 1 ad per 2 minutes on TV.

Google’s clearly aware of something.

I do watch a lot of Youtube videos on my TV with Roku. It's addictive!

As to the add supported options, I prefer less or no ads technically, but, the reason I am now using "free" just with ads sources is twofold. First of all, I just can't afford or justify any more fees, secondly while there are ads, they are a lot shorter and not as annoying...lol

Thank you for providing this information to us, Sonny. I was very interested. One question I have (a very basic one) is "how are Nielson families selected?" Also, are families rotated in and out, and added to the group?
