YouTube is a decent source of info for some subjects, like vehicle maintenance and 3d printing. Of course it still depends on the channel/creator…

Kallioapina@lemm.ee 5 weeks agoWhat generation? I’m an elder millenial and I always thought Youtube was/is shit for any kind of actual informential content. Music videos, meme videos - sure. Other than that, veeerrry great amount of suss on any info presented. Same goes for 90+% of people of my generation, who know what kind of a jokepool 90’s/early 2000’s internet was.
So what gen are you referring to?

You have to learn how to filter out the rage bait and trash content, but you have to do that offline too.

Yeah personally I’ve found a ton of informational and useful content on YT. There’s tons of lectures and presentations available from different colleges and stuff, but there’s also just a ton of people that like to spread info. For example, I found one guy thats making his own audiobooks of leftist literature to make it more accessible for the average Joe.

Should’ve linked it in the original comment tbh. It’s awesome that people are doing this type of thing.
