The problem is classic teaching is pretty much fading away and being replaced by "edutainment" type material. The new generation wants educational material but entertainment at the same time.

Problem is the classic teaching methods are generally better for building skills for higher-level learning/thinking/projects. When I say classic teaching, I am talking about structured material that is sequential and focuses on the more challenging aspects of the subject (not boring, mono-tone lectures). The edutainment material on the other hand focuses on a lot of off-topic discussions and generally dumbs down the material. So yeah, the video is entertaining and you learn something but you only learn the high-level of the subject. All complex aspects of the subject are avoided because, well, who the hell wants to spend time looking at complex mathematical equations or talking about some high-level topic that is hard to understand.
