Everyone here is wrong about education. A YT video is designed to entertain. A lecture is design to give you as much information that is relevant to your test or degree. An education required you to practice your work. You need to learn the concepts, the math, the systems and how they interconnect together as a body of knowledge. You go to school to become a professional and that means you need to know esoteric knowledge and have skills sets that have to be TRAINED and PRACTICED. You watch a YT video at lunch time. If you think you can be prof Wang by watching YT videos, then I look forward to reading your paper on rice.

@harrybrooks8514 I'm just getting tired of people sounding like education can be all transposed onto YT videos and they can all be entertaining so no one has to sit down and actually do the work to learn and apply the concepts, the equations, the theories, do the reading and write their papers in a coherent, logical, well-sourced manner. I taught at college level before, and sure I can explain the concept of reaction equilibrium and rate of reaction in an entertaining, low impact way but that video is not going to help you calculate the final concentration of reactants vs products, or how fast it will go. I can make mass spect entertaining but you are not going to learn how to calculate the time it take to fly through the tube for a particular ion at a m/z, and if you want a job in this field, you gonna have to make those calculations or at least understand WTF the equations even mean. Similarly, you are not going to pass the bar by watching Law and Order, or become an MD by watching doctors describe stuff in entertaining fashion on YT. None of that are in these entertaining videos that are just survey level of interesting topics for laypeople, and it does not replace going to school or college. Education is hard, it requires work, and it requires discipline, and teachers are not there to be your jesters.
