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.

Skip the first 30% of every video by hitting the 3 key when you start.
what really??
Each number from 0-9 jumps to that tenth of the video.
This also works on some uhhh… other video websites as well
I’ll take your word for it. I don’t use those sites and don’t want to, even if it’s just to test hotkeys.
Oh nice so you can flip about a bit to find the perfect spot - so handy!
Two minute papers I think does a very good job summarizing and giving understandable explanations of computer graphics type papers.
