YouTube tutorials

Video how-to guides

YouTube tutorials are instructional videos hosted on the platform YouTube, typically showing how to do something step by step.

They cover everything from home repairs and makeup techniques to coding and music theory.

The format has become so dominant for self-directed learning that I learned it from a YouTube tutorial is now a standard explanation for acquiring any practical skill.
