Can YouTube Actually Teach Complex Skills?

(Oct. 16, 2025)

My initial question in this investigation was whether YouTube could be considered as a valid learning environment to a difficult tool. Learning Blender is often seen as a big learning curve because of its huge interface, shortcuts, and technical complexity. Normally, people gain knowledge on software like this either in college or in paid courses. But my personal experience during the long-term proves that assumption. Open video tutorials taught me almost all the major skills of Blender (modeling, animation, lighting, and rendering). This inquiry stage step helped me find that learning complicated things via YouTube is AT LEAST possible without any proper education.
