The Second Most Used Social Media: YouTube

After the top social network giant Facebook, YouTube bags the second spot. Since we are still in a pandemic setup, a lot of people stay at home. Thus, most of us have the luxury of time to watch different videos that we prefer, after accomplishing some time for work or school.

Indeed, majority of the famous vloggers and streamers are using YouTube to reach their audiences. And they benefit from it big-time as their videos gain a lot of views in YouTube.

So, why are people fond of using the YouTube app or site? Below are the top 3 reasons according to HubSpot:

1. Entertainment

Of course, majority of the people are visiting the YouTube site or using the YouTube app for entertainment. Since the platform is basically home to songs, music videos, films, and other forms of entertainment, people mainly watch these available media.

2. For How-To Guides

Yes, this is another practical reason why people visit this site. For instance, someone wants to know a certain recipe and the procedure on how to cook such dish. The top-of-mind thing to do is to search a how-to guide on YouTube. It is also easier to follow since most are video tutorials wherein people can somehow see the step-by-step process.

3. For Learning More about a Hobby

Another thing that people do on YouTube is to learn more about a hobby. For instance, if they want to know the lyrics of a specific song, they will search on YouTube so they can sing along. If they want to learn certain dance steps of a recent craze, they will search it on YouTube.

There are other reasons, like searching for product reviews or learning more about a specific company or industry. But for whatever reason, it is imperative to have a fast internet connection.
