it's not sad to say because that is horribly inaccurate...

We all know some dumdums with weak degrees here and there but the youtube folk spend half of their days watching cats do stupid things and skateboard videos and spend 20 minutes looking into 'alternative' anti-government videos and think they are getting an education...

I use youtube videos for some things, i'm not bashing it outright here. I learn some good cooking tips, i'll learn how to fix a problem with a toilet, I'll even learn how to play some things on the piano but I wouldn't call that an education. You aren't learning much if you aren't reading into it and following up on a subject. A video clip is the equivalent of reading the back of a book and pretending you read the whole story.
