I'm a software developer in my mid-20s and I subscribe to and regularly watch videos on YouTube. It's probably in the top 10 most visited sites for me. I mainly subscribe to woodworking and programming channels. It's generally something where I'm hoping to learn new skills and techniques, and for that, YouTube is incredible. I also purchased my first home last year (100 years old) and channels like This Old House have been incredibly helpful with many maintenance tasks.

Same here. YouTube is really good for specialist "common knowledge." Woodworking can monetize this, so it's a natural fit for YouTube. But even in non-monetizable domains, it's useful. It has been helpful for various home projects. For instance, electrical techniques like pulling wire through conduit, or car or appliance fixes.
