Instead YouTube gives me literally nothing but AI spam. :/

I scrolled down a bit more and got this: https://i.postimg.cc/fJcPhG45/Screenshot-20251118-150802.png

Scrolled down some more and this: https://i.postimg.cc/v1khnhRp/Screenshot-20251118-151325.png

I kept scrolling until I ran out of relevant results. Not a single video was legit. I don't think I've ever seen so much AI slop in one search term and by the gods there is a lot of crap on YouTube.

Anyone have a good comparison video? I'm just wanting a decent comparison of Actual, Firefly III and possibly HomeBank. Feel free to also give me your 2 cents on whatever you use :)

Once upon a time yes. But then once upon a time the whole internet. I used to hate watching videos for learning but I have cognitive issues now that makes visual learning easier for me. Actually written is now extremely difficult for me. So I will use reviews of things to see how they work before I try them out myself. Just a shame that its so hard to find a real human being to learn from online anymore.

    Start a no server demo here and you can try Actual out yourself:
    https://demo.actualbudget.org/

    That way you can try out the Starting fresh steps for real or go through their Tour interactively instead of just reading:
