PensionCraft “where to invest in 2023”.
The video is tagged and time stamped but at a high level gives an accessible view of various regional, country and sector and even asset class valuations possible expectations.

Can’t say it affected my approach much but it did help me understand or rather solidify my basic understanding of some things.

I thought this was interesting and relevant to us in Japan, but way over my head on a lot of it.

One video I never seem to be able to find a video on is WHY WE SHOULDN'T USE PAYMENT APPS. everything is so rosy, simple and fun, with these apps.

They add a unique aspect to the market. Previously, a vendor had to set up a complicated device and organize a contract with a payment service.

Now, they just need to register an account on the smartphone, and the customers use their own smartphone to pay. Much lower barriers to entry, because it takes advantage of the fact that everyone walks around with a computer connected to the internet in their pocket nowadays, and is probably why many places accept PayPay but not card payments.

Personally I stopped using them as a primary payment method, because they've lost their competitive edge since becoming mainstream and I don't like giving companies a chance to spam me with marketing when I'm just trying to pay for something. But I still use them if there's no other cashless option, and to use up time-limited Rakuten points.
