    To be fair most education oriented YouTubers that I’ve seen completely blow every single one of my schoolteachers out of water.

      This is definitely mostly true, with several reasons applying.

      • The best rise to the top. You don’t see the bad ones on YouTube.

      • The can teach in a variety of ways. Some will mesh with your learning method, others won’t (but mesh with other people’s methods).

      • You only need 1. Schools need 1000s of teachers, and they each only teach a few students. An online YouTuber can teach 1,000,000s, if they are good enough.

      • No paperwork. 80% of a teacher’s job is paperwork. 15% is playing nanny to a bunch of kids, 5% is actually doing the teaching.
