The main reason I don't like the majority of youtube "professors" is because they actually know diddly about the detector they are promoting. They don't know the hardware platform used, and certainly zero about the software code running. They don't really know what the fancy software adjustments do. Most of them, if given all the engineering details of the machine they love, would still be clueless without significant electronics and programming experience.

When I was flying through Hong Kong I noticed a duty-free liquor store, went in, and found they had a sale, six 1 liter bottles of Chivas for $79 and they came with a Chivas rolling carry-on bag. The bag came in real handy transporting the scotch.
When I got home I found I still had two full liters bottles of Chivas in my liquor cabinet to begin with. I don't see buying Chivas any time soon.

I remember being in Germany USAF back in the late 80's. Used to go to the army PX. They had a 40' cooler with any beer you could imagine.
We had a beer called Perminator; 21% by volume. Of course we called it the terminator!!

Same for a young Florida cracker. I was engaged when I went over and got a Dear John letter right after getting to Kadena, I had money saved to get married, I spent it all having the best time of my young life up to that point.
