    youtube can very much be a credible source. its certainly not all youtube, but that can be said about anything including teachers an# any book. it is true youtube may have numerally more uncredible stuff but that maybe due to its sheer size as a platform and ease of spam

        thats fair, i do understand the problem. but i think in a public-esq forum, having generalizations could be bad. that is a personal belief that i dont want to impose on others, im fine with giving that take (hopefully without hostility) under others in good faith

      using youtube video generalizations can be bad as it is a leading video hub. and implying its bad may lead to bad vids taking youtube more as their home while those that do put effort and work to be more reliable feeling unwelcomed
