I used to learn better on YouTube, probably circa 2010. I learned music theory, programming, electronics, photography, and skateboarding, all things that I still use and enjoy today, but this was way before the current eyeball-attention-hogging landscape where videos are replete with ads and sponsorships and regurgitated information that draws videos out twice as long as they really ought to be. I have no doubt that quality educational material is still out there, but the signal-to-noise ratio makes it so hard to sift through that it barely feels worth it.
