It’s that bell curve meme. At the front end of the curve is the beginner saying “get off youtube, just shoot stuff”. At the peak of the bell curve is deep gear study and intense viewing, at the far expertise end of the bell curve we return to “get off youtube, just shoot stuff” but for fundamentally different reasons.
YT isn’t ruining photography, but there are times and places where I could see someone thinking over-study might be harmful.
You take what you want from YouTube, to say that youtube is ruining photographer is a kinda hilarious take though
