It all depends on what you are watching. You could spend hours and hours watching stupid sh*t videos on YouTube. But there are other useful videos jun herera chai knowledge badhcha, naya kura sikincha, nabujheko kura clear huncha. Khana banauna siknu useful hoina? Tyo pani cha ta YouTube ma.

Ani kati problem haru ko solution youtube videos ma huncha. Euta specific example dinchu mero 3d printer ma bhai rako euta problem ko solution pani tyahi youtube video bata paaye. School ma padhda nabujheko kura haru youtube bata pani bujhiyo. Courses haru ni available cha Youtube. Maile python sikeko nai YouTube bata ho. Corey Schafer ko video herera. So PK ji, gyan batulne kura haru hernus youtube ma. Youtube bata kei gyan hudaina bhanna chi mildaina.

I agree with Ketofarar 100%. It all depends on you and what you want to gain from whatever you are doing.

The only problem I have with some tutorials available on YouTube is that most of them are dated stuffs and by the time you get there, the videos may be old and inadequate to resolve your problems or questions you may have. As you know interfaces keep changing, versions keep adding and doing away with features bla bla.

BTW you have a 3D printer? That's cool!

@ketofarar. my problem with youtube is the surface level content that too presented in a trash non-professional way. "Surface level" being the main problem for me. The textbooks are already in surface level(except for maybe PhDs) and on the top of that the videos are 10% depth of that.

When I read a book, I know that the book has been proofread countless times and edited countless times. On top of that, it's made by a person who has either a PhD, or huge research or professional experience. I can look at their profiles and choose them. And it shows in the quality of books when you read them. I can search for a topic and read only that content and skip the jargons. I can't do that in video. And most videographers don't even care to make a timestamp.

For me, it's not just youtube. Like you said, there might be few topics like programming for whom the market could be very big. Thus, it's destined that some good tutorials will float in youtube. I'm talking about as a wholesale in general. The whole video content market is like that. Just imagine, if you'd to make a course out of 1000 page book, how many hours of video would it be? Easily over 100 hrs. Who'd watch it? Watching 100hrs of greatly made video can take 300-500 hrs. Do you think any non-superhuman is going to watch such long videos?


Video is by nature a difficult think to produce and require so much care.

You can't edit a video by typing in keyboard. You've to reshoot it. And so many issues, which lead to bad videos.

Of course, if a person making the video is great, there's no doubt it'll be great. I'm making this joke because nobody who's great at what he does will do youtube. (Nobody means very rare). They can command fees over their courses if they're good(Not every paid courses are great either).

Everyone learns easily from a good video compared to a good book. But the problem is there are lots of trash videos than trash books.
IDK about anyone else, but if someone tells me that they learn most things from youtube, I'd feel sad for the education they received from their country and teachers. I'd feel sad for their IQ level as well. But that's just me in 2022. My beliefs might change later if someone manages to impress me through their youtube videos.

I'm ready to pay decent rates for great content though. Like upto 50$ for a great recorded online course is within my reach(Not that I'm rich but I can manage for 1 such course in 6 months or 1 year).
Obviously I'm in the shithole, Nepal.

@PK,
It again comes back to YOU, yourself, to what you are looking for? Do your own due diligence if you want to buy a book in itself or learn from the online videos. As for me, these online videos helped me at times when I got really desperate to find solutions to my problems on table. Things are constantly changing and moving pretty fast. Like you said, nobody has time to watch videos over 100 hours and you have said it yourself videos are difficult to make and repair easily. So how can you expect them to be not "surface-level"? The answers were there in your own write up itself. If you want more information, yes you have to dig deeper. And you as an intelligent soul, knows it very well where to look.
Filter out the videos that look trash to your taste, come on, nobody is forcing you to sit through the whole ordeal! The way you challenged people for their IQ who have been to watching the online videos, it is very opinionated and less informed.
Lastly your statement "I'm in the shithole, Nepal!" is quite disheartening. Buddy you need to give respect to where you belong to and where your identity is related to. I may have some differences with the way things are done there in Nepal, but I would not never disrespect the country I was born to.
The rest is on you.
