Vanlife videos, cooking shows, and politics should make YouTube believe you're an adult. But hell I subscribe to gaming channels, with watching gamers play games. Will that get me labeled a child.
It's interesting that you mention the gaming thing, I've realised recently that I'm still watching the same folks I was 10 years ago, so it's really content by millennials for millennials - not a child thing like I'm used to assuming. It does come in part because if I mention YouTube to a younger person I get a blank look when I say who I watch.
I watch videos about Sierra games, nobody below the age of 30 played those
Define Sierra games? They've certainly published bangers this century too (NOLF) and even developed some (SWAT 3)
Care to share the channels? Sounds interesting.

Yeah I mean look how long Markplier been on YouTube it's crazy. I been on YouTube since early part of 2006. And it what only 20 years old? That mean we have kids who used YouTube who are now grown ups. So this is crap. I remember following Lisa Nova, and watching crazy vine videos. 5secondfilms. Along with gaming videos. I even have posted videos myself. Plan on doing it again soon too.
