As many others have said: YT these days is mostly entertainment, and, yes, driven by money. There's the few goldmines in their niche topics, but you're not going to have much luck finding them. In particular, I personally find maker-related content to be of pretty good quality, if you follow the right channels. For some topics, it's the best medium to stay on top of things, e.g. downhill mountain biking, you have the racers' own channels/vlogs, plus the smallish outlets putting out a ton of content during the racing season, plus the official RedBull stuff... There's just no other way to enjoy the sport to this extent. And, of course, it's an endless library of howtos and tutorials, BUT it's also full of crap. So you have to somewhat know what you're doing in the first place, then find a howto for that very specific thing you need to do, e.g. I know my way around a car, mechanically, but I'd still search for a howto video on changing the accessory drive belt in my particular car, because there's probably an easier way that somebody already documented, and I don't want to spend 1h on what could be a 10m job.
