I agree about YouTube tutorials on subjects that can be described well with text and still images: it's often easier and faster to read a written explanation. On subjects that involve motion, sound, and human action, though, YouTube tutorials can be great: how to play a musical instrument, how to do a dance move, how to use a tool, how to cook. When I was young, if I didn’t have somebody to teach me, the only way to learn such things was from books, which could be extremely frustrating.
