Well, I learned everything I needed to know about mushroom growing over the past two years from what sounds like a 16 year old on YT. It doesn’t seem like direct ad revenue or listing is the goal for these kids. It’s only about sharing knowledge and passion. The other more serious ones make money by making deals directly with the companies who’s products they show off, without YT’s participation.
Not that I disagree - it just seems to me that video is the medium of today’s internet.
Agreed – the info is readily available, but to the GP's point, it's fighting an uphill battle against soft censorship. Subreddits have to tread carefully to avoid bans, and YT videos are frequently put behind login walls for content reasons.
