> Everyone I know uses YouTube as a de facto reference. They don't read blogs, Wikipedia, news articles or company documentation, rather they look for explainer videos or tutorials.

This comes as a complete surprise to me because I don't know anybody who uses Youtube for technical information. Everyone I work with primarily uses Google or DuckDuckGo to find answers on blogs or on stack overflow. If that doesn't work they check the official docs.

Same for me. YouTube is for projects like car repair or home improvements.
