You live in a fantastic world with instant access to everything in recorded history and yet you choose to rot in front of YouTube.

YouTube is full of excellent content. I regularly watch several highly skilled YouTubers the same way that I would watch Norm Abrams and Roy Underhill on PBS as a child.

As a child, I could have watched grifting religious folks or Public Access conspiracy peddlers on TV, too.

Another response that (deliberately?) misses the point. I’m going to stop responding after this one.

Again, deliberate exaggeration. When I say “rotting in front of YouTube” the key to understand my point is the word “rotting”, not “YouTube”. Good work is done in every medium and on every platform.

First, when many people "miss the point", perhaps you should review your communication.

Second, perhaps you are missing the point that garbage has always been available and, generally, preferred by the masses.
