I have been trying to NOT buy this tablet. I have Kindle fire tabs laying around the house. I can see the pixels on them if I look close enough. For my eyes (corrected with glasses) it's acceptable.
For video, I find that the sense of lack of sharpness goes away. I don't know if your yourtube experience was due to network bandwidth.
I've tried Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Now, Vudu, Hulu, and video files copied over and all perform nicely.
It helps, I guess, that I temper my expectations with the price. My $500 iPad mini has an absolutely amazing screen. I'd never do any photo editing on my cheap android/Amazon tablets. I trust my iPads to have color corrected screens.
Reading, if the screen is good enough for your eyes, is a use case handle very well by these cheap tablets. I use Kindle app (of course) and also FB Reader. Both apps sync with iOS and other Android devices. FB Reader works with google drive and has a nice web uploader for books. I use to load up books to my mom's google drive account and then she could download them onto her Kindle Fire via the FB Reader app.
I'm not as happy with the web browsing aspect. Not fluid, typing on the keyboard is janky. 16:9 not a great landscape web reading experience. I'm also not happy with the battery performance. You actually have to turn the device off when not using or the battery will run down. Means every time I want to use the tablet I have to first boot it up.
Still, it's 15% or so the cost of an iPad. So there's that
