All jokes aside, I'm still straddling the idea of leaving behind the comments when the bulk of y/t is being mirrored elsewhere. More annoying is the "I'll leave links in the description". I wish they would put it in the lower third.

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.

I do watch Youtube videos for things I don't know enough about like specific functions in CAD software and stuff like installing airconditioning, wood working, metal working, fixing stuff on a car, etc. Usually it results in learning something.

Good point, I'll try and do that for links that are easy to remember. A bit pointless for complex URL's though like a Youtube video URL.

We are now narrowing down the things he's butt hurt about.
The magnetic shielding video and the LED video.
Let's make a comprehensive list, this is fun!

Just watched #1329 Magnetic Field Shielding DEMONSTRATED. I didn't see the problem and you got a thumbs up.
***
Using a split core for a sensor and my HP3589A as a source, I can easily see the 25KHz spurs with no averaging. Placing the core about 2" from the CRT and then inserting a 1oz CU board between them, I measured about 30dB. I must be missing something as I wouldn't have thought this was a big surprise.
***
There are too many LED videos. Based on their titles, nothing jumped out.

I have few books on the subject but I get a laugh every time I open this one...

Actually I think EEVBlog has the lowest signal-to-noise ratio of any large internet forum I'm aware of. I've gotten plenty of helpful advice here, and perhaps given a bit too.

Agreed, I don't think I've seen a more helpful, on topic, civilized, low noise forum than this one.
