If you’re like me, you spent more time watching YouTube in 2020 than you had previously. Some of those months when so many things had seemed to grind to a halt, there was a limited selection of things to do. And regular TV is just boring to me.
Most of the time, if I’m not learning something, I feel like I’m wasting my time.
Anyway, I did discover some helpful YouTube channels, most of which have apparently been around a while. Maybe you’ll enjoy them too!
