For many of the topics i'm interested in videos made in the last 36 months are not better (if anything they are worse).
If i'm looking up correct excercise form, how to cook a certain dish or perform a repair video's made 10 years ago are as good as video's made yesterday.

- hn_user2 4y agoYouTube is helping me build my house step by step. For framing, the first thing everyone recommends is “Framing Walls with Larry Haun” (1992). You even get the VHS tracking blips now and then from the video capture. To be fair it’s also good advice to then supplement Larry Haun’s videos with modern framing techniques but his videos are the first one should watch. Might just be a single example but it’s the first counterpoint that popped in my head. https://youtu.be/IQmt27qN6AI https://youtu.be/IQmt27qN6AI

People that started with the genuine intent of sharing their knowledge gradually turned into professional youtubers, and now it's all about hacking the algorithm, diluting content in multiple videos, selling you to their sponsors. Older videos are almost always better.
