That YouTube tutorial had me torching my own brake lines
Last Tuesday I was following a popular video on changing brake lines. The guy said to use a torch on the fittings to loosen them up. I figured he knew his stuff since he had 2 million views. After 10 minutes of heating and twisting I snapped the fitting clean off. Turns out my car uses different metal that doesn't react well to heat. Had to call a tow truck and pay a shop $180 to fix my mess. Anyone else had a tutorial lead you down a bad path?

Same thing happened to me with a plumbing tutorial. Flooded my kitchen.

Was the tutorial actually bad or did you just skip a step?
