   There's a fun little book called "There Are No Electrons" the premise of which is that most early education on electricity is full of bullshit analogies, but that those are also misleading and confusing, so it basically sets out to present a different set of incorrect-but-useful analogies that're easier to understand and are good-enough to give you decent intuition for how electricity works—even if it's "well ackshually" entirely wrong.

   should i watch the veritasium video and then this correction or just keep my ignorant/old-fashioned way of thinking about electrons and electrons holes switching places

   btw my favorite, most illuminating source of electrical knowledge is the book “There Are No Electrons: Electronics for Earthlings”

   If you find yourself struggling to understand the basic concepts of electricity, I can warmly recommend the book "There are no electrons" by Kenn Amdahl. It's a very silly book, which attempts to explain electricity through allegory and humour
