Youtube videos - Helpfull?
I love the Youtube videos, the kind that entertain. Automotive, Control line, Radio control and I'm there.
But "How to's" not so much. Ads every five minutes. Talk about the weather, family. Profanity - all there in many of them. Generally it takes me more time to watch them than to complete the task I'm asking about. Shop manuals too. Most of the time I just dig in and watch the feathers fly.
But one of the best in case you missed it in one of my other posts.

no ad blocker?
I have been using adblockers and some also block youtube ads.
That removes a lot of the interuptions.

Bob for some reason since I retire from active duty 1996 I am always wide awake at 4:30 to 5:30 Am, Coffee and on to the inter net.
Habit now. I start with sling TV to get a dose of Fox Business news then off to Stunt Hanger and followed by CEF.
When I get too bored by the non stop drone of Trump Trump Trump or Hate Biden Hate Biden, I click my You Tube link and most of the time I click on some computer or Gun video, and I watch a lot of real airplane videos (love me some A-10s or B52s...)
Frankly I need to stop because too many Gun or (accessory) videos have me hitting Amazon or my local gun store
I recently watched a video on a KelTec SUB 2000 9mm Carbine that folded and just had to have it. Local guy had for $430 and KelTec had a $100 rebate. This drove me to Amazon for accessories. The KelTec Sub 2000 accepts a lot of different 9mm Mags. Mine came with the Glock adapter and one 17 round mag. I got a 30 round mag only to see that my old ass had a hard time loading it..off to Amazon to find a mag loading assist. IMO that one You video cost me a lot more than if I had never seen it
I suspect that is kind of the point...

Re: Youtube videos - Helpfull?
The ads can be a real pain sometimes. Somehow they know when I leave my chair and walk away from the computer while listening to the video to fire off the ads that if you don't go back and hit "skip", will run for seven and a half minutes.
A few times now recently, I got 3 ads in a row (two short ones, and one that can be skipped) instead of the normal 2.

Yes to all.............Half the time I'm yelling - Get to the point I'm 85 the clock is ticking.
Agreed Fred, I hated it when the media bashed Trump incessently, the same for Biden. The Presidency, not an easy job when 50% of the country on any given day is mostly against you.

"I recently watched a video on a KelTec SUB 2000 9mm Carbine that folded and just had to have it. ... Glock ...30 round mag"
Love love love my Sub2k.
(odd tangent, the latest trans school shooter used one, not an AR)
folds, compact, semi-accurate, shares mags with G-17.
Perfect for camping, hiking, piddling around at the ranch, as I can swap mags with my sidearm, if I need distance.
reminder, you can get a 100rd drum mag for the G-17
also fits the KelTec

but would be too dang heavy for real use.
NOW BACK TO YOUTUBE:
I really enjoy all the model airplane content. - Wish there was more Cox Engine content.
