But don’t fall into the trap of that’s all you do. This can lead to procrastination of the thing you’re trying to do.

True, but at least your procrastination activity is learning about the thing, as opposed to unrelated procrastination activities.
I wrote “observing mastery”…

Are you talking about watching YouTube?

Are you saying masters of their craft aren't on youtube?
No, I did not say that.

But unless mastery of video production is the goal you are seeking, watching pre-recorded video is not the experience I recommended.

> "mastery of video production"

If a master craftsperson records a video in their workshop demonstrating their craft and talking about their craft, you are observing mastery. This isn't some wild theory, this is a cold hard fact. Which leads us to the question, what the hell are you talking about?

You seem upset. I am not sure why. There are so many potential problems in between a YouTube search and actual success that I won't expand further. You'd learn more in the shop.
