As I wasn't really sure either we're in competition with one another, I will try to address this battle of the contents. Educational videos and entertainment videos, I feel, both are made for different audiences at different stages of their lives. Educational video are needed at a very specific time (when one is looking to learn something on a specific topic) and entertainment videos also have their time and place (when one is trying to avoid doing their SCILS homework). I tend to think of it in terms of television. I spend about half my time watching both educational channels such as the History or Discovery Channel and another good chunk of my time watching tribble like Bravo and E!. I even spend a larger portion of my time watching the soccer channel, but we will not discuss that. I think its very possible the entertainment is how most people spend their time on something like YouTube - however, I then think of my boyfriend who is constantly watching How-to videos for software, music and design and it cancels that out. I genuinely think its a tie, fair and square between the two types of content videos and I think both are in their own class.
