    This is how I feel about watching videos to learn something versus reading an article or a paper about the subject. I would almost always rather read about it than have to sit and listen to some awful youtuber blab about themself while dancing around the subject I had interest in.

      Yeah… I mean I’ve seen some YouTube videos that really helped with whatever I needed to understand, and I’m happy to have that resource so readily at home.

      That being said:

      It seems these days I have to fish through an increasing amount of clickbait style videos and ads to find one that actually helps! And it takes so damn long to even know if it is going to be helpful because they spend 5 minutes with their stupid intro and then “like & subscribe” and then sponsor ad garbage. Ugh.

      Two minute papers I think does a very good job summarizing and giving understandable explanations of computer graphics type papers.
