Canada

Like many things, it depends. I'm curious about the context where you're actually hearing YouTubers say the letter.

It's usually "zed" and we're taught it as "zed" in school - at least when i was a kid.

If I'm spelling something it is Zed. I don't think I've ever said Zee in that context.

The alphabet ends with Zee when singing it, due to the rhyme with Vee (and probably Sesame Street).

In my head I will say Nissan Zee for a Z type car. Though if I was to speak the phrase "Nissan Z type" I would say Zed.

When it is used in online slang (GG EZ) it is "Zee" for "easy".

ZZ Top is Zee Zee Top. Zorro draws a Zed. Things are Zed-shaped, not Zee-shaped in general.

We are now, no longer the Canadians who say ‘zi’.

I am Canadian I say Zed. Plus it’s fun to watch americans lose it when I say Zed Zed Top (heehee).

Zed. Grew up in Ottawa, since lived in Montreal a long time. French also says zed.

It's also zed in French, fwiw

Zed. Zee is horrible.

Stand proud, Embrace Zed.

I have to catch myself to not say "Dragon Ball Zed".

both, and i never bother to correct myself, or give it any consideration.

Zed is the proper Canadian way to say it. Those people just probably watch a lot of American content so it stuck for them.

"Zed" now and forever.

It'll always be zedzedtop.

Zed if I refer to the letter itself, but if it's part of a phrase, like "Gen Zee" etc. I will use that.

I say zed. My kids all say zee, to my chagrin. Thanks, US children's entertainment.

I have this nasty habit of correcting people when they say Zee when it is obviously Zed.

I used to not care about this at all, but recently I am adamant about using zed. Similarly, I go out of my way to use the non-American spelling for any words that have it.

Born and raised in the USA, only took a few months of living in Canada to switch to zed.

Also, never seen it spelt "zi" ever, lol.

zed of course.

Don't argue with Meredith Rodney McKay.

Zed ad absurdum.

E-zed sharpener. Eee Zed Money. That sort of thing.

Drives everyone crazy, especially if it's a Canadian or Commonwealth product.

Zed

“Zee’s dead, baby. Zee’s dead.”

Zed

Zed.

Dunno who decided zee was a thing, but they were wrong.

Gen Zed

I'm not Canadian, but grew up on the border and only got Canadian television stations for years. As a result, I regularly change back and forth between zee and zed.

American here who always thought "Zed" was used for zero. Now I'm wondering if I ever made an ass of myself misinterpreting someone.

Zed

Zed

It's a Camaro "Zed" 28

But the alphabet it's X, Y, "Zee"

US peanut gallery but I did not even know about the zed pronunciation thing until stargate atlantis. It was so confusing. Why does that guy say zpm and that guy say zedpm???

As far as I can remember I was taught in school to say it as 'zee'. But that was in secondary language classes and that was a long time ago... We definitely say it as 'zed' in French though.

I seem to alternate depending on context. Never really noticed until thinking back on it.
