I *constantly* wonder how bad YouTube is for my kids. All the time. They watch - who knows what - on there and while we try to limit what they can/should be watching, there's something VERY STRONG about the draw of YouTube. But...I'm also keenly aware how wonderful it is. My most recent example: I researched, learned and then....was able to buy and change the capacitor on one of our air conditioners. Part cost $20. Estimate from HVAC guy? $350. My time - about an hour on YouTube. Then, more time assembly the tools to do the job than actually doing the job. Now that I've done it, I have a (new) skill - understanding how the most-frequently-bad part on an air conditioner can be replaced.
