    We’re getting to the point where you’re almost better off getting on your news off some random YouTuber, rather than these supposedly esteemed and prestigious news outlets.

        True! I don’t go deep on watching political videos on there too much aside from Kyle Kulinski if that counts. He does fact check his sources but of course people make mistakes.

        Years and years ago I was constantly told even by my old teachers things such as “You can’t use YouTube for education” Or “You can’t cite wikipedia as a source!” soo many times as a kid that it’s crazy how it’s almost the opposite now. Heh, who’s wrong now!

          The teachers were right about YT and Wikipedia.

          You can use the citations on Wikipedia as a source. Same with YT (and if your YT video doesn’t cite their sources, you already know it’s incredible)
