Care to cite specific examples? Because this hasn't been my experience at all.

He's actually right on that some times. I often deliberately fudge the complicated details.
And I can almost guarantee there is an error in every one of my videos. Welcome to off the cuff video making.

There's a difference between thinking on the fly (and occasionally getting things wrong) and deliberately falsifying or "making up" facts.
There is no one on this planet who can say they've never made a mistake. Intelligent people just admit it and learn from them.

I would not get those things from making advanced level theoretical videos. If you want that, MIT have their entire course available on their Youtube channel for free, I recommend you go watch them instead of my channel.

In my personal opinion, Youtubers are for ENTERTAINMENT only, think about ElectroBOOM, maybe the biggest in this topic.
The Signal Path, EEVblog, and others are good if you Already know electronics, but they are useless for teaching electronics, most of the time, are just curious entertainment of something that you will never use in your life.
Very few YouTubers are good to teach electronics: w2aew (advanced), GreatScott! (intermediate), learnelectronics / electronzapdotcom (beginner).
But, for me, the most effective way to learn electronics is through Books, maybe university videos; other resources, like this forum, are for very specific or practical issues.
edit: or for hacking something :-DD
