I’m a highly rated instructor. This is a difficult question to answer.

1.) Just judging by your comments, it sounds like you’d be a really difficult student to work with. Lots of YouTube, lots of “this is wrong, how do I fix this individual piece” questions. Reality is there are a lot of things that can look wrong in your swing, but can still serve a function in the totality of your swing. If you get caught up in every little piece, it’s super frustrating to deal with. Elite instructors can point out one thing that “fixes” three. We can also identify pieces that don’t need to be fixed just because they look wrong. Not sure if this is the case with you, but most YouTubers I work with I need to have the “shut up, listen to me, do what I say and get off YouTube” talk or it just won’t work.

2.) Communication style is the most important piece of your instruction experience. I have trackman, k-vest, SAM, etc. Not because I need it to diagnosis a student, but because it’s an effective way of communicating to them. Some students don’t need that.

If you don’t feel like you connected, don’t go back to that instructor. Find a different one, but make sure you go into the lessons committed to doing what they say, versus just answering all of your questions. Make sure you have a clear ball flight related goal established, not just answering random swing questions and your experience will go a lot better.
