As we see from the graph at the Figure 5 on the previous page, the main reasons, why people stream online, correspond with those that we have described previously. The major part watches videos online because of convenience (53%), cost (41%) and possibility to avoid commercials (40%). As I have mentioned repeatedly in the text, young people (13-24 years) rather watch YouTube or other online streaming services than traditional TV. I would like to discuss the reasons why YouTube is more attractive for young people. 1.

YouTube, as one of the first, gave people this opportunity, follow someone else’s life. We have millions of channels on the website where YouTubers share with the world their problems, successes, victories and achievements. This helps people understand that they are not alone with their difficulties and problems, that someone else, exactly like them, gone through it too and managed to handle it. This makes 42
