How to quickly select high-quality videos on YouTube for the implementation of specific but completely new tasks?

Question

YouTube

It was necessary to make some functionality on the site that I hadn’t done before and I didn’t see how to do this functionality in books / documentation on the programming language. It’s good that there is YouTube, I registered in the YouTube search engine in English words and found hundreds of videos on the desired functionality.

I watched a lot of videos in turn and did the necessary functionality along with the video. But in the process of work, it turned out that it either did not work, or it looked like what was needed, but not that. And only a few days later I found the same video, and then another good one, and following the video I did exactly what I needed.

I was unpleasantly surprised how much time I spent searching for "that very video." The functionality was done in an hour or two. I've been looking for the right video for days.

Perhaps you can give some advice on how to quickly find what you need on YouTube among hundreds of similar but bad videos?

Answer 1

The answer seems to be on the surface, but you don't want to see it - you shouldn't learn from video unless it's some practical skill like disassembling a laptop
. For a prepared one, this indicator is even better. And yes, fast forwarding won't help here.
If it’s easier for you to perceive information by ear than by eye , think about whether you have chosen a profession.
The programmer systematically works with texts, so the perception of information from other sources will conflict with the way of perception that is best developed, that is, with the text.
Further
The effort involved in video production usually exceeds that required to prepare the text.
SURPRISE
A good video also needs text. A video recorded without preparation and slides is beee , meee , bad structure and other slag.
Conclusion - the primary source of information is always text.
Learn from texts.

Answer 2

Normal people don't learn from videos. But only in books.
Where do you get this unhealthy fascination with video learning?
If you used search, books and documentation, you would solve the problem in a couple of hours.
All programmers do this. And programmers-youtubers are fired if they are suddenly hired by mistake

Answer 3

YouTube videos are no better than documentation and articles on programming
