Yes, because it's inexhaustible. 10 minutes of channel surfing resulted in either picking something, or turning off the TV because nothing good was on. Youtube has endless worthless garbage to sift through, so in order for it to end you have to consciously decide for it to end.

AI is actually great for this. for the most part it's free knowledge from an expert teacher
