As others have said, I love the memories it brings to mind seeing the things and places I have been. Also, because I'm a section hiker and still have about 1/3 of the trail left to do I love to see some of the places I haven't been yet and it gets me excited about my next trip.
I typically whittle my list down to 2 or 3 that I enjoy watching and as for the time it takes to watch, most do not post every single day and even if they do most videos are only 10 to 20 minutes long. I would much rather watch this than the crap on my television. Oh and I do read as well. It's not like you cannot do both for entertainment. To each their own.
