Are YouTube car videos what's wrong with this generation?

>>15143568
All of this is.

Tell me more about Andrea anon. Do you think there's a love triangle going on here? Does Katie suspect anything?

Well now we know why she's with him cuz it sure as hell isn't his intelligence or personality.

This. People with a causal understanding of cars because of YouTube are no different from people who had a casual understanding of cars 12 years ago because of Top Gear, who are no different from people who had a casual understanding of cars 40 years ago because of AM radio or something idk.

There's nothing wrong with using YouTube videos to help you get your shit done right. The other day I saw a neighbor changing the rear bearing on his shitbox and was watching a YouTube video to help him change it. Really nothing different than using a manual, in fact it's more helpful. This is coming from someone who uses maintenance manuals in a regular basis.

There is nothing wrong with this generation.

There is nothing wrong with YouTube car videos. Vlogs, repair vids, art films, races, shows, all of it is good.

I remember growing up with only the Speed channel for automotive coverage. TNN did some as well, but it was really centered on TRUCKS and HOT RODS and that was pretty well it. Speed was good for giving you some highlights from races, and I remember following the old Dakar rallies on the highlights. Since that was the only way we'd get coverage of it in Canada.

So when YouTube came out, and people really started upping their professional game on it, I've become really happy. Now I have all the automotive videos I could ever want. People's personal footage of amateur races, track days, sunday rides/drives. More professional footage as well. People talking about cars, and so much more.

There are so many good things that YouTube brought automotive culture, and really, it's the best place to share stuff about our passions.

The same has gone for gun culture, music, video games and comics and everything else I'm into. I've got all the topical content I could ever want from YouTube.

Books and manuals are fine for theory but videos are as close as being taught directly how to do a repair as you can get without a person there. But when you can get FSMs online, there's even less reason to go to a library unless you've got specific needs.

>>15143568

What's wrong with youtube car videos? I was able to replace my CV axles and do a brake job without mechanic experience by watching youtube videos.

If it wasn't for youtube videos I wouldn't have a car in the first place. Fuck BMW manuals they're only good for looking up part numbers, and even then it's hard because they're all written in fucking german. I shouldn't have bought a stolen car, Tomaszi ty kurwo.

Yeah you can use adblocker with filter lists. I'm pretty sure there's a filter list for blocking jewtube comments.

Though if you're kid knows how to turn adblock off you might need to fuck with your router and block them there.

The car business/media is starting to look more and more like the fitness industry to me (I've worked in both for a long time), where people who know nothing just state their views in an authoritative way aimed at clueless people who are inclined to believe them. Before the internet there was car mags, which people had to pay for, which means the content had to be good enough to sell, which obviously turns up the quality of content. Free content is good, but there needs to be enough good free content out there to drown out the bad, I don't think that's the case right now even with mass amounts of YT vids, sites, etc. there still isn't enough where the average person just getting into cars can spend 4 hours a day watching new, quality content. I hope streaming catches on with auto stuff like it has with video games, would put a lot of pressure on the streamer to really know their shit and be able to show it when they have to answer questions live.

No, they just suck (at least when it comes to repair instructions) unless the video creator went through a shitload of trouble to make the video really watcher-friendly. And even then, a written manual is just so much more practical to have around when actually doing the work. Fuck dicking around with my smartphone trying to find the part where he shows some detail of the procedure in his shaky video.

This is just a passing observation, but I've noticed a significant portion of people watching car videos on Youtube are genuinely autistic and are often furries or some other such form of autistic degeneracy. Why is this?

>>15143979
you missed the good days of ESPN, TNN and Speedvision

>>15144350
pretty accurate. haggard garage is going to ruin a lot of kids simply because they pretend to know shit about cars when they really don't know their ass from their elbow. but the tweens eat it up and take their word as gospel.

Exactly this, there is no quality control and there is an authority bestowed on the video producer that probably shouldn't be there.

Before all this took off, finding good advice was about finding somebody you really trusted. Now it is just about finding a video of somebody.

>>15144446
I was around for Speedvision from 1998, when we got cable with most of the channels. I'm not nostalgic for television because it was a very limited medium. For example, I happen to like motorcycle racing. But motorcycle racing was never given the same spotlight that car stuff was on Speed, TNN, or ESPN. With the internet, I can watch the Isle of Man TT, order DVDs of the Southern 100, get entire MotoGP and World Superbike races, and I'm good to fukken go.

It doesn't matter what I like. I can find what I want. I've watched people do the Mongolian Rally from their own YouTube channels.

The increased amount of content, especially in topical videos, is better than Speedvision's glory days.

>>15143568
Katie is an idiot for not having a digital copy of her factory service manual and Daniel is an idiot for thinking people on Youtube know what they are talking about.

>What's wrong with youtube car videos?

half the time they are made by idiots and half the time they don't apply to your model year/engine/trim package.

I can watch the YouTube videos on my phone, in my barn, as I'm wrenching. I can even stop and rewind a couple of times if I need to. Also, I can find youtube vids specific to my shitheap.

I have not once ever learned anything or figured out how to do a repair from a youtube video. They either talk too much shit or don't keep the camera clearly on what I need to see or they're just really bad/slow at explaining.

Detailed write-ups on the other hand with lots of clear pictures have helped me do a lot. And a service manual will tell you how to do everything

I'll watch several videos on procedures. Just so I know I'm doing it right.

You know the term, measure twice, cut once. It's pretty much the same. Make sure you can do the job right before you start it.

I once found a video covering exactly what I needed (replacing the blend door actuator in the back of an Escape Hybrid), and I considered it a small miracle. Finding the appropriate video for what you actually need to do is so rare for things that aren't basic maintenance.
