You've stated thoughtful facts i must confess. This made me remember an arguement with my fellow crochet artist about the advantages and disadvantages of YouTube tutorials.
I tried explaining to her that YouTube tutorials are helpful but at the same time it can be harmful not because it was created to be, but it become less helpful when misused.

Totally relying on it doesn't make you an artist. You haven't created anything you literally copied what you created.

relying completely on technology makes us lose that creative mindset.
Thanks for sharing.
