I think there’s a key distinction to be made between a “tutorial” and a “vlog.” Some videos you watch to learn things, and other videos you watch to be entertained by the struggle.
(Admittedly, for the latter the examples I have in my head are all makers/artists, not programmers, and I’m not sure I’d be as entertained watching somebody fuck up a software config as I am watching them panic as their epoxy resin pour goes wrong.)
Also… the actual good stuff has a good chance of not being free, or not being on YouTube—it’s just the reality of our world.
When you look for YouTube videos of random people, you can get anything, from good programmers to horrible ones. You can’t really require quality from strangers posting stuff for fun.
