This statement is baffling to me.

1. Wikipedia is not wikihow. It is not an aim of wikipedia to teach you how to tie a knot.

2. Youtube does not reward or otherwise provide provenance and incremental improvement.

Look at the revision page for the windsor knot: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Half-Windsor_knot...

There is no mechanism whatsoever on youtube to incrementally improve a video or understanding of a topic.

Yes, this remains true for every source of media except Wikipedia.
