I can’t seem to find similar opinions out there so I am feeling like this belongs more in r/aita but are does anyone have a good channel on YouTube for people who teach others how to fix PCs? Everything popping into my algorithm results are just people who guess and swap parts.

“PC won’t turn on? Swap the Motherboard, CPU, Case, Power Supply, and CPU cooler (so only really keeping the SSD and RAM)!” This mentality doesn’t teach newer generation of PC enthusiasts much and gives the impression that taking care of issues themselves is costly.

The “Fixing a Viewer’s Broken PC” string of videos by Greg Salazar are exactly what I am talking about as not being helpful. I’ve never once heard him mention an Event Log or do any investigation.

    If you go back in the early days of youtube, people were figuring out what to do with it.

    Some of it was educational and more technical instruction from a training perspective.

    But as you can see, it’s now about entertaining and making ad revenue. You are having a difficult time finding educational channels because they don’t really exist anymore. They don’t make money or aren’t entertaining. You have to get off YouTube for what you want. You have to make your own channel if you want that sort of thing.
