Teaching others can often reinforce and help you evaluate what you already know.
 
More often than not, the greatest teachers aren't the greatest players. Just as the greatest piano players, violinists, guitarists, or artists are typically not the greatest teachers.

Teaching well and performing well require different types of skillsets. Nevertheless, too many people assume that when someone is really good at something, they must also be good at teaching it. And that's certainly not the case.

Most of the greatest golf teachers have been good but not great players. Takes a certain mind-set and skill-set to teach well.
 
There's another reason to post videos on YouTube. For example, I put some of my videos on my YouTube channel, but that's but that's just so I can share the link to someone that I want to watch it. Most of the time it's far better to do it that way then to try to email the video. My email won't send anything over a certain size. Yes I could make the video private, but I really don't give a damn who watches it, or what their opinion of it is.
 
A college professor once told a bunch of us, the job is to bring out what's already there. I might add, not to stifle it. That ventured, anybody might be in possession of knowledge you seek. As long as there's no BS, anybody's channel is worth a try.

The problem with a lot of people on YouTube is they are all talk, and no action. Sometimes they use up 5 minutes of your precious time with nothing but blah, blah, blah. Get to the point of the video so I don't have to try to fast forward through the crap.

I get that with product demos. It's definitely a waste of time sifting through reviewers who will never touch on the points you consider important.

From my own profession the question would be ask:: "Why do people who have never designed a computer teach others how to design computers" ?

And the answer is :: "Those who can do" and "Those who cannot teach".
 
With videos as with books and in-person instruction, the most important job for the student is to figure out what is wheat and what is chaff. If the student cannot test an instructor's idea and see why it works and what it's limitations are (such as being totally wrong), and maybe even what the extensions are, the student hasn't understood the lesson.

Maybe the student needs a week or a year for the lesson to sink in. Maybe with additional experience, the student will have a completely different take on the value of the lesson. For one lesson I got from Willie Mosconi, it took me about 15 years to begin to understand what was really going on and why Willie was basically wrong.

There are lots of people out there happy to, as Danny McGoorty said, pour piss in your ear. Many of those porers are well-intentioned.
