@lcamtuf YouTube search provides better search results than Google search. If search for "foo" tutorials on Google, if "foo" is something you could conceivably buy, you often get the Wikipedia article on "foo" and dozens of foo merchants. Search on YouTube and you get actual tutorials (and, often, product reviews by shill channels, but still reviews that show a foo in real use). The HTML pages are often still out there but don't show up in the search results.

Also, videos are objectively better for learning about woodworking, where things like visual texture, motion, and three-dimensional relationships are important; but not, I think, quantum physics. For software it can be helpful to see how an expert user uses the software, especially if it has a GUI, but often a manual would be better.
