99% of Youtube content isn't worth watching, but I do like watching (and listening of course) good music on Youtube. And related to tech there's of course a lot of valuable content out there (tutorials, courses etc). Does watching Youtube make us dumb? Depends 100% on what you watch :-)
To stay informed about what's going on in the world (serious news), well Youtube, Facebook and any other sort of social media are of course useless and should be avoided like the plague. Instead, read online editions of serious quality media (newspapers which have real journalists working for them). Wikipedia is another great and reliable resource.
Nothing on social media can be believed or taken at face value unless cross-checked against other sources, the amount of fake news is simply too big.
Youtube for entertainment is okay, everything in moderation, as long as you don't overdo it it's fine.

Thanks for putting your points. Good to know other alternatives
I Agree with you Leob, Overdoing anything is never worth it.
