Youtube live. What do you have?

Airbrushing videos I watch like horror movies usually, covering my eyes and occasionally peeking only to see another huge cloud of paint in some fuzz-encrusted paint booth.  LOL.

THAT made me laugh. There is one guy I follow where it looks like he hasn't cleaned his booth in years. I swear-- it must have an inch or two of accumulated paint. I marvel that it still seems to draw air. I need a booth like that! My filter needs a cleaning almost after every spray session or it won't suck air. Maybe under all the crud of his, there is no filter. ?

Anyway--I skip that portion of his builds because what's the point. I don't care to watch someone spray paint. Kind of --been there--done that. His work is very loosey goosey, but I like to watch anyway. I have learned some shortcuts and I get to see what problems to expect on a particular build.

As for live stream-- there isn't much that I watch other than music and some faith-based channels. But for non-live, I watch YouTube on my TV almost exclusively. I can almost always find something interesting. Recently, I watched a guys channel where he analyzes plane crashes before and after the NTSB report comes out. It is interesting. And this particluar story morphed into a lurid account of how the church leaders passed away in a plane crash, piloted by none other than a actor that played Tarzan. It is a bizarre story. Since the crash, more evidence has come out about the church, and it is being widely lauded as a cult. HBO has picked up on the story too and they created a show on it. 

I am paying for cable, but I seldom watch it. 

I'm right there with Greg and Bish on modeling videos.  Some have been useful, but most of the time I find myself straining to hear the person speaking in the video...as well as wishing for sub-titles most of the time, even when the speaker is speaking English.  Airbrushing videos I watch like horror movies usually, covering my eyes and occasionally peeking only to see another huge cloud of paint in some fuzz-encrusted paint booth.  LOL.

I find that I don't usually spend more than 5 or 10 minutes at a time at the bench, intermittently during my free time, so I usually just leave whatever I have on for background noise/chatter.  When I am at the bench longer than that, I'm usuallly doing some sort of precision modification work, so I'm so laser-focused on that that I wouldn't be actually listening and absorbing anything anyway.

Speaking of subtitles, here's a classic from YouTube.

I have found some interesting concerts by the Danish Orchestra, Spaghetti Western Orchestra, a Britisn guy who likes to have fun with classical and show tunes, sometimes combined. There are others, the British Uke Orchestra for example.

I typically listen to The History of WWII podcast while I'm at the bench.

While I am at the bench, I'll listen to music on YouTube, especially Two-Steps-From-Hell. Epic music genre. And I'll watch the occasional Star Wars fan film. Yeah, modeling videos can be a crashing bore most of the time.

For me, just music.  But I listen to all kinds of music, from classical to movie soundtracks to pop to rock when I build.

I just put on some kind of music, depending on my mood at the time. Usually just classical. You all know the saying "music sooths the savage beast".

Stay Safe.

I have a YouTube channel but not really expecting anybody to watch it. I like a few guys and pick up some pointers as well as Model Geeks on occasion. Mostly just put on some music or a movie.

Greg, i am with you there on modelling video's. I'd rather see a build on a forum of magazine article. Soon as i see a post with a video i skip it.

Listen to lots of podcasts, but mostly random stuff on Youtube (and finding old songs or TV show episodes from the '70s).

The few actual channels that I occasionally go back to...picked up mostly at random, over the years...are:

*Lindybeige, an interesting Brit for historical/military stuff;

*Caitlin Doughty's "Ask a Mortician"...I don't know, I just find it interesting...and she's got a raucous sense of humor );

*Steve Lehto, a Michigan lawyer with lots of quirky and interesting insights on legal matters, many of them 'in the news';

*Ward Carroll, an ex-F-14 pilot with lots of fascinating stories re naval aviation and such.

Oddly, I find myself too impatient to sit through most modeling-oriented videos; I find myself yelling "For ***'s sake, get on with it!" (I'd rather read a good article, where I can scan through at my own pace.)

This is a live feed from a watering hole in  Namib desert. Kind of mesmerizing to just sit here and watch which animals show up. I have this on screen while I model. Sort of like a window.

Now i like that idea, thanks. I sometimes load up the ISS live feed, that can be interesting. I often put on youtube to have music video's on in the background.

It has its uses.  I did this video a while back.  Shelves are way more packed now :o

Listen to the modelgeeks podcast during bench time.  They have 26 episodes so far and each are about 1 1/2 hours long.  Plenty of content and a very enjoyable listen.  It's 4 Navy friends with tons of modeling experience and tips. 

What do I have ob youtube live?

Nada.  Nil.  Zippo.  Zilch.  Nothing.  Bupkis.  SFA.  Bugger all.

I don't use youtube much, usually to catch a couple musical numbers or the occasional concert.

I just model,maybe some sports talk radio,definitely not watching anything.

Here's the the exact opposite :O
