For some things video is superior though. Like, replacing brake calipers. It is really hard to see what to do on a drawing.

  Agreed.. for mechanical and some electrical things, watching video of far more useful. For others, reading is better. Unlike some, I do appreciate programming videos. It's often helpful to understand concepts with the examples even if you don't recall the precise code or libraries. I'm those cases, it would be nice if more videos had accompanying articles. I've thought about making some beginner to expert JS/TS content a few times. But no idea if the effort would really be worth it in terms of reach/audience. I've been working on Web based apps since the mid-late 90s. Which is also IMO a hindrance as it's often harder to think in terms of how best to learn things vs the changes over time in practice. Ironically I also spent about a decade writing in eLearning systems and content. Which taught me it's simply amazing how much you can learn and forget. A couple years ago, realized mid conversation that I couldn't completely explain jet engines anymore. I've learned and forgotten so much domain knowledge that it's hard to express. There's plenty of more recent stuff floating around. On TFA subject, I've always enjoyed learning about history/warfare and related tech as well as food and nutrition. Most of my television time is in YouTube. I've recently dropped all other streaming services to cut back on the expense... I use YouTube(+music) way too much to deal with the annoying ads.
