More than a decade later, how original YouTube stars feel about the site

As a counter-anecdote, frivolous as it is, most of my mates and I are early-30s tech people and most of us sub to channels and actively go to YouTube to watch them.

I'd say quite a number of people here would really enjoy Numberphile[1] and Computerphile[2] and I'd heartily recommend subscribing to and keeping up with them. I'm also heavily interested in tabletop and video gaming and I keep up to date with both of those through a combination of YouTube and podcast subscriptions.

I'm 37. I subscribe to a number of channels. Really, if you have an interest, someone probably makes videos about it and puts them up on youtube. For example, picking a channel I subscribe to that might appeal to a generic HN taste, take a look at https://www.youtube.com/user/ThoughtbotVideo

You're right, there are some incredibly niche channels around. I collect poker chips and there's even a channel for that: Jon Hobby's Great Poker Chip Adventure[1].
