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.

Totally disagree. I learned a lot from YouTube, then practiced what I learned and discovered even more. It's been an invaluable and cheap way of learning for me.

Everyone has their way of learning. Just because it doesn't work for you doesn't mean it does work for other. When I talk to my kids about something they are working on, I asked them how did they learn that. YouTube is generally their answer.

I wish YouTube was around over 30 years ago when I was using film. Probably would have picked up a lot more tips and tricks when it was expensive to buy/process film and I couldn't afford a lot of it.
