Why people recommend it
Short explainer on how MOSFETs work and how to switch loads with them; offered to people moving from a small BJT to a MOSFET for motors.
Watch for: check the part is logic-level for 3.3 V drive
In their words
AddOhms on YT has an excellent video on how to use MOSFETs, I highly suggest you watch the video!
