I have never felt the need to use YouTube for anything aside from classic comedy clips, music, gameplay clips and trailers. So, YouTube personalities like these pass me by. I'm one of those types who instantly closes a video if I hear commentary or talking over it. I don't want to hear that shite.

Maybe it's because I grew up without YouTube, unlike my daughter. She watches so much utter shit on there, unfortunately.

However, I have watched one LTT video before when doing some electronic engineering classes, and we were shown one to explain some thing I can't remember. I do remember saying the guy seemed like a right prick, to the chagrin of others in my class. A smug, know-it all prick.

Well, guess who feels vindicated today! Me!

You might enjoy Tom Scott's videos. His style of videos is inspired by British television in 80s-90s.

I'm like you, grown up without YT and I rarely watch it, for some video clip, or when I need to check how to disassemble my laptop or washing machine. I never watched a "YouTuber" or never ever went to twitch

I've never actually used twitch before. Ever.

I'm getting old...

But yeah, if I need a walkthrough on how to do something, I'll always prefer written instructions/guides.
