Wow........What a great guy you must be in person............I'm glad I'm not as miserable as you must be........lol........z
As the one who might have originated the analogy of utube brain pablum being the new idiot's bible, it seems kind of presumptuous to me to think someone who expresses an honest and informed opinion must be miserable because you may not agree with their expressed opinion(s).
Most of the utube crap I've seen looks more like selfie madness run amuck than helpful or informed information. Unvetted, and so, dangerous.

While I agree there is a lot of crap on YouTube, including one brilliant girl who's tabbing with a soldering GUN.......lol.......There are also very good videos on there, and I'm hoping my series will be one of them.
You can't just dismiss an entire website because when you have a lot of something, some if it will be top notch, even if most of it is crap.
That may be, however the panels I'm building (Glass on Glass) will outlast most commercial panels by FAR....... z
Glass as a back sheet is too thermally resistive and you loose power on a hot day. so now I'm gonna have to see that video .

Do you have any idea of the transmittance of the glass you're using ?
Is it low iron ?
Does it have an ARC (antireflection coating) ?
Is it the same glass front and back surface ?
Do you know what any of these terms mean or how they may affect a solar panel's performance ?
Do you know how to estimate a panel's operating temp. or instantaneous efficiency as f(inputs).
How did you determine your panels will outlast most commercial panels ?
Any idea of cost ?
