For learning something new skill I personally choose youtube than any other google article. Youtube is easy for learning than reading articles.

 

[Kotoko]

Yeah i check YouTube first most of the time, seeing it is way easier than reading long articles so marketers should focus more on video content now.

 

[tubeboost]

I prefer to use ChatGPT and Claude for learning and asking something.

I feel that YouTube users are usually older people. Therefore, it will be a better place to gather knowledge and learn compared to most other social platforms like TikTok and Facebook. Not to mention, uploading videos or creating content on YouTube is quite easy; for example, if you want to learn how to nail, there will always be an instructor teaching this skill on YouTube.

People over 30 or 35 often have the habit of watching YouTube to search for information or knowledge. For example, I'm 40 years old this year and I frequently use videos for everything from entertainment to work. However, when I encounter difficult questions, I use GPT chat to handle themm

Yeah, I usually check YouTube first these days. It’s just way easier than reading long articles, so marketers should really focus more on making video content now.

you can say that but dont forget the ai search engines, what ai engines suggest are really getting high traffic so you can rely on to that if you wanna look up something you wanna learn

It's true that for many topics, YouTube is being prioritized over Google because it's easier to learn visually, has video tutorials, and requires less reading. Users often watch videos to quickly understand and then look for deeper information if needed. However, Google is still strong for quick lookups, comparisons or accurate written information. Therefore, YouTube has not replaced Google but is supplementing and dominating the video learning segment

 

[Vynith]

Well YouTube is the second largest search engine so it's only natural.

 

[Adverte]

people have always learned on youtube because it’s just easy… you search the problem, watch someone do it, and copy the steps. for marketers it just means youtube is part of search now, not only entertainment.

 

[VectorVelocityTraveler]

I still use Google for quick facts, but YouTube is my first stop when I want to actually learn something

 

[philph.salt]

Of course, YouTube has become the new How To search engine for a great many purposes as the demand has been for visual and practical demonstrations and not text al
This implies that the concept of Search Engine Optiization is getting altered with respect to marketing. Instead of ranking on Google, it should nw be visible on YouTube

 

[Kome]

I think videos are a valuable source of knowledge, offering a wide range of useful content that you can learn from and explore. I personally also use them often to gain new insights and expand my understanding.

 

[fine allen]

Yes, I believe so. Many individuals find it easier to understand something by watching it done rather than reading about it in an article.
This is because the marketing industry now views YouTube SEO and content importance at par with Google ranking.
