BnH’s youtube page has content to last you a lifetime! Can’t sit tight for an hour? Listen to 15 minute segments while you edit. Youtube really elevated my photography.

I’m not sure what we’re supposed to talk about. The several thoughts in this post seem disconnected and contradictory.

I agree with a lot of what you said - for kinesthetic learners. The thing is, there are different types of learners: visual, auditory, kinesthetic (hands-on). Some people get a lot of value out of watching someone show them their gear. Some get no value out of it. We should be encouraging people to figure out what kind of learner they are, and finding resources to help with that as a basis.

YouTube photographers aren’t usually professional photographers who are out getting gigs

Full time photographers usually don’t have time to make YouTube videos

I don’t go to youtube for photography info, but Im sure one can find what they’re looking for there. I took a class in high school which was awesome. We had a dark room and developed our own film. Not sire if they still do that but I just go based off of that and learn from other photos I like.
