also i think that the youtube videos are taking their share of people who would use forums or stay on the forum. I've seen it here many times, someone will join the forum spend about a month asking questions , getting good free info then next thing you see is a video by them to sell their Esty store front. Don't get me wrong i use youtube for info as well for subjects i need, its a great learning tool but we all need to realize if the info can be had for free and no discussion or joining a forum then a lot of folks go that direction. Heck at least weekly some one here posts a video, that means someone else doesn't have to join the forum just that simple, they just follow the youtuber of choice. Many on here have numerous videos so why use conversation when you can watch.
