I don't seek friends on Youtube or online. I am looking for genuine information, better parameter is conflict of interest. A shovel seller may have best info. about gold, but they have an incentive to exaggerate and hype it. In a more relevant context, VCs may be able to give best advice to a founder but they have a bias towards to the fund. For youtube influencers / gurus / religious gurus, they are in business of selling clicks and views so they'll be more prone to tell you what you want to listen than what will truly help you. Even likes of Jordan Peterson may give wonderful advice if consulted in person, but on Youtube he has to cater to the bias of people who are viewing his videos.
