I’m no guru to fixing things, but I’ve learned everything from how to do a Photoshop special effect to how to help a goat while she’s in labor. There are all kinds of things you can learn on YouTube.
Greg has troubleshooted many an electrical problem just by Googling for YouTube videos. He even got some solid advice on setting up his solar array.

Maria we have used You Tube many times for answers to a problem from looking up how to open up a suitcase with no key to simple solution of how to plant a certain vegetable.
Funny pets and music however are still my favorite videos, used to love to find Karaoke to sing along with when had High Speed unlimited Internet access.
To my shame, I find YouTube useful for stuff any normal person should know, like for instance changing a battery in a keyboard or mouse. I’ll get on to plumbing one day. . . Maybe not
Hubby YouTubed how to change the windshield wipers on his previous car. Lots of useful info out there indeed!
I watch how-to quilting videos on YouTube all the time. I’ve already made two scrap quilts using one ingenious technique by Valerie Nesbitt (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KNoZXjt_Ay0). I’ve also learned beading techniques, how to spin roving and trims into art yarn, and different ways to put in zippers.
I do watch the videos about Shelties sometimes. Can’t help it; they’re so cute.
I was on yesterday looking for a way to globally edit my manuscript in html across three lines of text.
Never found a way…sigh…still manually making the edits.
Unless I can have the YouTube on while I’m attempting to do what I need to do, I won’t bother. I’ll just remember it all wrong and get myself frustrated.
Someone has to be by my side and guide me through it for me to remember. Sad, but true.
I’ll amend that previous comment. I’ve found you tube brilliant for learning new Irish tunes
