Anyone get new hunting spots from watching YouTube hunting?

I don't (I know my local areas well enough that it is of no benefit), but I have certainly observed how it easy it could be for other people.
I have watched YT content from climbers and backpackers around and above certain alpine lakes and have zoomed into to look for surface strikes in an attempt to confirm if there are fish in specific lakes are not. Similar idea.

Do you have a good example youtube video? As a software engineer and problem solver, I can give it a shot.

Keep in mind, if I do reverse engineer a spot, posting actual it is against forum rules because once web crawlers get ahold of it then it’s on the internet forever.

I don't use it to find specific spots. I like to use it to see the type of terrain, vegetation, topography, and food sources the species use to help me locate animals.

The amount of units that have been ruined by YouTube is unfathomable.

Blowing up specific areas is one of the main reasons the YouTube people are so despised. They're so eager to sell out hunting spots for attention, it's pretty clear what really matters to them. It's not the outdoors, just validation from strangers and anything that prevents them from having to do something productive for a living.

That has never happened...just ask the youtubers who burned the spots.

This is the reason hunting influencers and hiking influencers to a certain extent are so despised. They literally ruin spots and areas for people who value them.
The fact that posting a spot ruins it due to flooding of people, points to the fact that everyone is stealing spots off YouTube and other social media.
