====== Youtube "stuff", interesting? or helpful? ======

This page is an old idea that needs some attention. The idea is to share "good" youtube content. But…. It needs more content and the content needs to include a line or two about the value of the content. Opinion…. Youtube is a great place to find knowledge and learn "how" to do something. Being that the content is "video" and you have control over the playback ( start stop, rewind) it is easy to use. Is there good and not so good content. Yes. But since it is semi-free, you get what you pay for. Consider the links below "The Start" of your youtube experience. Once you get to youtube, try experiments with the "Search" feature. Be aware…. Youtube can be a rabbit hole. If the "advertisements" get too annoying, try a paid subscription.  If you get tired of video, try similar searchs with your favorite internet search engine.   Or...   Try one of  the free AI tools.
