Everyone uses YouTube – but how, exactly, are people engaging with the site? I’ve been wanting to ask a random assortment of users — from creators to mothers to execs to kids — how they consume YouTube since I read the following quote in a New York Times piece about a recent site redesign<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

It also said that last year\u2019s redesign would make subscriptions more meaningful, but has since found out that average users still don\u2019t know what subscribing actually does.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I wanted to see how that actually stacked up in the real world. So I asked both established online video experts like Zadi Diaz, YouTube stars like Amy Pham and average users: How exactly do you do YouTube?<\/p>\n

Annette Brown, 47, business owner and mother<\/h2>\n

How often do you go to YouTube.com?<\/b><\/p>\n

I watch YouTube videos when I’m on Facebook, but other than that I probably go directly to YouTube once a week or so.<\/p>\n

When you go to YouTube.com, is it to search for a new video, or is it to browse through your video options?<\/b><\/p>\n

To search for a new video. During the election if I found a video on Facebook and went to YouTube to watch it, I would usually see similar videos and keep watching but usually I go to a specific video, rate it if I liked it or not and then leave YouTube.<\/p>\n

Do you subscribe to any YouTube channels?<\/b><\/p>\n

No. I thought YouTube was a channel by itself.<\/p>\n

What is the one YouTube channel you watch more than any other?<\/b><\/p>\n

N\/A<\/p>\n

What’s the most common way you find new online video (on YouTube or elsewhere)?<\/b><\/p>\n

I find them through Facebook or email.<\/p>\n
