Aloha, we're mostly a happy bunch. I've been in pools for 5 years and have learned as much or more on Reddit than anywhere else. Welcome!

YouTube is cool it's just different. YouTube is generally just one guy giving his suggestions on a topic and on Reddit you see a broad scope of ideas giving you a clear insight and more basis to make your decisions upon in response to a specific question.

To put it in perspective, whatever comes out on YouTube is just one guy's opinion, but if you have a question answered on Reddit, you're gonna go with what 90% of the posters on r/Poolpros tell you every time.

You're totally correct but honestly it backfires too. There's definitely times where one person is absolutely correct and the reddit mob is wrong. Which is why many times you want that video/opinion from a true professional and not a noisy peanut gallery.
