I wouldnt say best. But its probably the most useful.

YouTube is the most valuable instructional tool around. People go to college for years to learn things that YouTube imparts for free. Average joes can learn how to fix their own cars, survive in the wild, provide emergency life saving medical aid, and the list goes on. Teachers and professors even stream over it.

You can learn enough about something from the comfort of your own home, to actually make a career out of it, which is crazy.

Because best is too subjective of a word. For instance, amazon pays my rent. I design t-shirts for a living, and amazon sells them. YouTube is awesome, but it doesnt put food in my stomach.

You cant really call any one website the best.

A counter isnt necessary because its only someones opinion; which in itself is the reason YouTube cant unequivocally be considered best.

Google can play embed videos tho. You can literally watch YouTube ON google. The only difference is, unlike YouTube, you can also watch videos from everywhere else too.

Destabilizing nations and putting right wing YouTube celebrities literally in power is pretty destructive stuff and it's just the beginning.

As the algorithm becomes more sophisticated, it will continue trapping and radicalising more and more of the vulnerable and less intelligent of society. In some countries, people pretty much use YouTube all day compared to the US where there is more variety.
