That's true to a degree.
But at the same time I find that a lot of neat and useful info on the web is being taken off or paywalled. There's a lot of stuff that can no longer be found. Thankfully there are those that are trying to archive it all, but then they do get in trouble from time to time for copy right infringement.
Also, I find I get so interested in videos and forums that I keep looking for more and therefore run out of time to do what the video was supposed to help me do.
It used to be that all the neat info was in books. Like if you bought a computer it would come with a thick manual telling you everything it's capable of and how to do it. Now you buy a computer and it comes with ads for buying another computer.
