       I want to become more aware of how I describe things and stop calling content "YouTube videos". There is no such thing as a "YouTube video". There are videos that can get posted to YouTube, but there's nothing about that video that's exclusive or different to that platform.However, I just tried it and it came off weird. "I watched your videos" sounds like I found some old archive of content that was uploaded before the dawn of YouTube. However saying "I saw your YouTube videos" somehow is explicit and clear and very different.It's unfortunate. I hate it.

       @gabek How about "I saw your videos on Youtube?"  Not that they're exclusive, but that's where you saw them?

       @gabek I also don’t like it when I say I’m gonna search for it and people don’t instantly get it. But if I say, I’m gonna google it, the message is loud and clear.

       @gabekHey, but we can also do the same for FOSS software and say "I watched your Peertube video" 😉
