A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Don't watch, read. Go and buy a book. Books are not free and are rare. It takes money, time and effort to write and publish a book so (mostly) they are a good source of real information.
You Tube? Not so much. Any ignorant Redditor can have a channel up and running spouting all kinds of information sending you down rabbit holes but mostly trying to get you to Buy More Stuff.
That depends on the Youtube channels you're watching.
There's plenty of creators out there posting handy editing tutorials etc. that don't even try to monetise a LUT or preset or software or kit.
the comment above has value though, there's a ton of photography knowledge that hasn't really made it to YouTube, but is in books.
It's good to build a library of book-centric creative knowledge too.
