more and more crappy videos in-place of articles

No full-sized still images here, as an article might have. What is the point? Most youtube stuff is junk, showing more talking heads than whatever the subject of the video really is. This horrible trend in video has even made it's way to professional television. Inevitably what is shown in five minutes could be read in 2.

Or less. That said, occasionally stumble on people who know how to make
good videos on youtube. I particularly like 'repair' videos these days
- when they're well done.

Unfortunately when searching some "click baited" crap has floated to the
top of the search ranks.

True. But you can usually distinguish between the crap & decent within a
fairly sort time. You don't have to watch the whole video to know if it
might be helpful.

Many of the good ones are either produced by a produced related
producer, or you pay for them.
