As fantastic as YouTube is, it is becoming increasingly harder to learn and to gain specific pieces of knowledge on there because search results are controlled by an algorithm that shows you what it thinks it wants you to see. For example, you may search for a certain video and have other videos rank during the search that are not even related, and that may be because YouTube thinks you want to see them because you are subscribed to that channel or you like that type of content, but I am not entirely sure why that is. The bottom line is that your search results are biased, making it more difficult to find what you are looking for, and I think this will slowly become more of a problem. Another problem with YouTube is that when viewers consume content, it is rapidly forgotten. Sam Ovens talks about audiobooks and how they are terrible for retaining information, and I have experienced that for myself. I think Skool has the potential to be a learning platform that is better than YouTube if strategies for optimum retention or memory can be used for teaching new information. This could be the place everyone wants to go to learn because they remember what they learn when they go here, and that would make Skool provide more value than YouTube!

I think it would be cool to see leaderboards for learning or developing skills that way people will want to learn faster so they can beat others. This is used in video games, but it works well in learning too. The coding app Memu does an excellent job of doing this.
