I'd say that tech talk on YouTube is mostly edutainment (nothing wrong with that for entertainment)

It is hard to replace a good instructor. However, it can be tough to figure out which schools have those good instructors. Most of my electronics knowledge is a result of the public library system.?

Discipline in learning can be difficult. I have the fortune to be very single-minded when i want to know something. After high school, a lot of people assumed I was in college because I had a backpack that always had a textbook, grid paper, and a scientific calculator in it that would come out at every break and at lunch. At home, I did a lot of experiments in RF and other circuits. I experimented on myself to see what was the level of current was at the threshold of perception in my hands and arms (in case of accidental contact while working) and incidentally measured the approximate impedance of flesh (past the skin) at 50 to 200 ohms. Except for a 'scope (bought used) and a VOM (built from a Radio Shack kit), I designed and built most of my own test equipment.

If a book didn't give me an "aha!" moment, I'd find more books on the same subject, make a lot of drawings, do some lab experiments, and think a lot about it.
