...this. I have 10 hours a week in the car commuting and since there is a lot of podcast on video now I split my time in half. Half podcasts and half youtube. Sometimes I have to watch sections at home or work with code or equations but all in all it works very well. Probably not a new habit for others but the last two years I have been pulling in a lot of youtube "talks".
I find youtube releases of D&D streaming sessions to be a good road trip background noise. It keeps me more engaged/awake than a podcast/audio book. It also helps that I'm super far behind on many D&D streamers so there are 50+ 3 hour long videos in my que sometimes for stories that stretch across multiple groups of players.
I like watching Louis Rossmann sit and talk. I watch his other content, respect him as a person, and share many of his opinions. So I enjoy his commentary.
We can turn this around and ask "why make a video when you are just going to talk to the camera?" and part of the answer is "that's where the money is", as Willie Sutton apparently did not say.
