> Now that we have YouTube there's less of a need for so many people to repeat the same thing to learn something

maybe you can watch a video about: having a girlfriend/boyfriend, going to the beach and surfing, having friends and going on adventure trips with them... all these things were done before, so why do you need to do them when you can just check YT out...? I hope you sense the absurdity of what you're suggesting.

That's kind of different as I'm talking about their not being much of a difference watching a chemical in a video and watching it in real life in terms of gaining knowledge.

I don't see anything wrong with watching videos about people exploring or going to the beach. You might even have more fun than doing those things yourself and you don't even need to leave the comfort of your house.
