The map is not the territory. The menu is not the meal. Cognitively, we dwell in a symbol-scape and easily mistake the signpost for the path. Spiritual and New Age medias offer signposts, but, if one enshrines the sign, it can make captive the one wishing to walk the path. Leaving the seeker abandoned of their journey for a golden calf. Really, all teachings are distractions from the Truth. Science and Spirituality are methods of inquiry and, surely, have little or nothing to do with watching videos on the internet.
