Google, YouTube, etc., they're all getting worse. I'm finding it ever more difficult to learn anything anymore from the internet. Whether it's learning how to play the guitar, how to fish, weight lifting or how to do mostly anything, I get trash results. Google results are exclusively shallow content, most of which are trying to sell me on something. YouTube is full of short videos with click baity subjects entirely irrelevant to what I actually entered: "Don't make this {topic} mistake!", "This one trick will make you better at {topic}!", "Top 10 ways to become a pro at {topic} in two weeks!".

Due to the constant trash these algorithms insist on feeding me, which I believe is actively contributing to the dumbing-down of society, I've naturally gravitated towards books. Books are leagues better in terms of quality of content. They are more detailed and thorough. It's a richer experience so far.
