There are plenty of things I have no interest in doing but have watched hours of great Youtube videos by very dedicated people in the field. The depth of some forms of user generated content is amazing and there's nothing wrong with being a spectator. There's definitely a sea of trash too though.

A couple of my favorites in this line of thought: David Bull of Mokuhankan (Japanese woodblock printing), Leo of Sampson Boat Co (rebuild 110 year old gaff cutter). They are both very knowledgeable in their field and take efforts to produce good content at their own pace as part of a long running objective. Regarding your point of there being a sea of trash, check out David Bulls video "Its not garbage" where he argues that out of all the garbage in our society, woodblock printing is something special. https://youtu.be/hIL3Xpaoe1o https://youtu.be/hIL3Xpaoe1o

  Thanks for the video. The sea of trash I was thinking of is still trash by this definition. Youtube is full of videos that are just some other clip copied with an automated intro and other such things. The algorithm does ok at filtering it out but it's only helping you navigate the sea, you still hit a few of those often enough to be noticeable.

Cody's Lab has lots of other content to but he used to post bee keeping videos. I found it interesting just from the standpoint of seeing how its done. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdItRBzixf0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BdItRBzixf0 After watching this aggressive hive linked in the video above though I think I will leave this hobby to others to partake in.

  As he says, behavior like this, in his part of the world, is highly unusual. I've never seen anything like it. I'm glad he takes the time to show what a typical hive is like (at the 20:00 mark in the original video). Beekeeping is generally a very relaxing activity for both bees and beekeeper.
