I just read (and enjoyed!) this piece of writing. I hope it's OK to share my thoughts (and that's all they are).
So, I learn a lot of things from YouTube but I only like to learn from teachers whose attitude I also admire or want to emulate, because often that's the most valuable thing that I'm learning from them. And if I may: something I really like about your approach is that you value craft or skill, but at the same time you're brave enough to operate without it for a while in order to get started. I think it's easy to go to one extreme: get past one's lack of skill by deciding that it's all dogma and pedantry anyway, or be so in awe of expertise that you can't allow yourself to make a move without it. Which is to say: I would aim to strike a balance similar to yours, I think. Thanks!
