There's a huge diversity of content on YouTube. The "default" content on YouTube is indeed low-quality crap like what you mention, but there is a lot of great content on there. On YouTube, you can learn about any skill, the quality of "teachers" varies greatly, but there really are some exceptionally good ones out there. I'd suggest you check out some of these channels 1. Adam Neely - a (bass) musician, he hosts Q/A videos very regularly, responding to comments in previous videos. The quality of his comments section is unlike anything I've ever seen before, real, in-depth questions, insights, recommendations etc... Exceptional channel in so many ways 2. 3blue1brown - a mathematician who focuses on helping viewers build an intuition for various dry mathematical concepts. 3. Yoshiki Oshima - this one is very niche, but I mention it because there are uncountably many high-quality niche channels. His channel basically archives old computer research videos, lots of stuff on Alan Kay, Ivan Sunderland, PARC, Douglas Engelbart, Seymour Papert and others. Many many many many many channels with different focuses out there. YouTube has a lot more to offer than what the frontpage shows.
