The thing that makes YouTube a bit crap for learning is that content creators are incentivized to make their videos longer than they need to be, so something that should take less than a minute to explain now takes 10 minutes. I stumbled across a good example of this today while trying to figure out how to undo a camera move in Cinema4D, a software package I don't usually use. Now, the answer to this question is "ctrl+shift+z". But if I search the question on Google, the first result is a 3 minute YouTube video titled "Cinema 4D Quick Tip: How To Undo Camera Move In Cinema 4D", where the first mention of the shortcut is 2 minutes into the video. At this point, both YouTube and Google are purposefully surfacing the least helpful links in order to increase engagement.
