Absolutely. YouTube helped me build my first PC, taught me dozens of algorithms / data structures while I was first learning to code, helped me get started with software like PyTorch, Blender, Unity, etc, exposed me to a lot of philosophical thought/thinking and random education I'd never otherwise have stumbled upon, and so much more.
It's got plenty of entertaining stuff also, but the fact that YouTube allows anyone to share anything they know with anyone in the world in a simple, visual format is amazing. Other platforms can do that too, but YouTube is obviously the biggest player in the space right now and there is value in having everything together (see: the Walmart effect).
