Comment on Ask HN: Have you found it difficult to get quality technical content on YouTube?

Comments

Consider searching for talks from conferences you wish you could have attended. This likely represents hundreds of hours of content you would enjoy.

You might also consider some of the free courses on YouTube. I've found Harvard's and Yale's courses to be optimized well for video, MIT's less so (it depends on the course though).

I don't really follow a lot of the higher level abstraction channels like "Computerphile." Although I do generally enjoy those videos when I see them.

I'm more likely to search for the topic that I want to learn about and then skip around many videos until I find the one with the production quality, tone, volume, etc that is most clear and enjoyable to me. Often, you do have to settle for badly made videos on obscure topics (but no complaints! Better than nothing.)
