Good programming tutorials are useful. It can be hard to find quality content on Youtube, maybe check reddit or other posts for a "curated" list.

The best way to learn is picking something you want to build, and by building it. The struggle is not fun, but you will learn more by doing than watching.

Yes, it helps. Youtube tutorials can get you started on a topic quickly. But it's only a start. Textbooks and real coding practice are better long-term because they go in depth. YouTube talks are also good for keeping up with new things.
