It would never even occur to me to watch a video on finding my AirPods case. Either there is an article or forum post for it, or I need to post a question on a forum, but no way am I sifting through the garbage that is YouTube.
Plenty of my searches will lead me to a solid stackoverflow / reddit / quora / forum answer but another large percentage only seem to lead to the blog equivalent of the offending YouTube videos, hyper tuned to show a description that leads me to believe it's what I want but delivering nothing.
But, to be fair, the Google-as-front-door internet has become totally useless for these types of tasks as well. Those wiki-style pages with huge walls of text offering nonsense advice are a plague.
A lot of times, you do end up on Reddit and SO, but there are some good forums available if you dig deep, especially for car/HVAC/home maintenance related stuff. Sometimes you have to join a forum and post a question.
They can't google for shit, unfortunately. My fault probably, but as I managed to learn all of this on my own, I expected them to do the same.
