Someone devoid of actual training or expertise on a given subject, but watches Youtube all day so that they may interject fake expertise. Often they
will watch what you are working on, run inside to watch a Youtube video, and then come out and try to act like they know about the subject. This often leads to improper use of words of phrases they know
nothing about to look "cool" and knowledgeable.
These types are easily distinguished from the true "professionals" because they lack full understanding of the subject, practice improper use of the subject matter, and often run back and forth to the computer, and sometimes even bring it with them to "watch" and
work.
Be sure to protect yourself from Youtube
Hero's because they
will likely mess up whatever they are working on and you
will be caught holding the bill. They can be found in many areas but tend to favor Electronics, Computers,
Car Audio, and Automotive Repair.
Nick was busy trying to get his stereo wired up yesterday when his room-
mate came out trying to be a Youtube
Hero. He heard us debating over which way would sound best and came out there and began talking out of his ass. We called him out and made him feel like a real
dumb-ass. It's a good thing Nick didn't listen to him, because his amp would be toast right now.
