In defense of YouTube, I think of all the social media it is the one that has most increased personal agency for people who know how to use it. Example: In the modern world, products often have characteristic failures, none more so than appliances. We have a refrigerator that has two poorly designed parts that commonly break. One is a drain valve that fails and causes the appliance to flood the floor in front of it, the other was a weak hinge on a crisper drawer that broke. Short YouTube videos on fixing these were easy to find and saved me hours of futzing around and may have inspired me to do the repairs in the first place.
A washer we have had a poorly designed clutch on the spin basket. Must be a half dozen videos explaining this and how to do the repair, which I did. For what it’s worth, I now know that some Maytag engineer either specified the wrong material or the wrong dimensions on a machined keyway.
