Absolutely. Over the last year an interest in woodworking has caused me to shift from almost 100% Streaming TV/Movies to maybe 40% Youtube and 60% TV/Movies (Netflix type services).
Youtube recommendations occasionally put me onto a new content creator/creation group that adds to my regular viewing. Much of this is both educational (how-to videos) and entertaining. Finding something with the right mix of educational impact and entertainment value is, IMHO, far rarer.
The rate of new (albeit shorter duration) content on Youtube seems to outpace the rate of content I want to watch from the TV/Movie streaming services.
- verinus 10y agoBeing interested in woodworking myself I wonder if you could recommend some resources? Any pointers would be greatly appreciated!

- coldpie 10y agoI'm into hand tool woodworking, and for YouTube specifically, I follow The Renaissance Woodworker, Rob Cosman, and Paul Sellers. I also wrote up a short article aimed at beginners like myself that points to other kinds of resources: http://www.smokingonabike.com/2017/01/01/hand-tools-for-a-newbie-woodworker/ http://www.smokingonabike.com/2017/01/01/hand-tools-for-a-ne...

- dageshi 10y agoIt's amazing the diversity of good quality stuff on youtube. Want to watch someone wading through rivers with a metal detector looking for civil war bullets/shells? You can! https://www.youtube.com/user/aquachigger/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/aquachigger/videos Or how to survive in the Canadian wilderness https://www.youtube.com/user/josephallen19/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/josephallen19/videos Or get entirely too deep into Dark Souls lore https://www.youtube.com/user/VaatiVidya/videos https://www.youtube.com/user/VaatiVidya/videos
