This has been evident to me personally in two areas especially: car repair and gardening. I routinely look up repairs for my vehicles on YT and often find they are more approachable than if I’d just relied on a chiltons guide. The “tacit knowledge” of things like “you got to reach around from this angle to access the oil filter” or “when it makes this sound, it’s often this part” is incredible. And it’s struck me before that it really is a new phenomenon that all this detailed knowledge video is available instantly. Gardening reveals a gotcha that I’ve thought I’d like to solve with my own content though. Often content is presented with no followup. Ie “top 10 ways to get rid of squash vine borers” regurgitates the same things as lists online, with very little I’ve seen saying “these worked, these didn’t”. Since it’s often a longer term endeavor with lots of variables, there’s little content that follows gardening techniques through. I’ve thought if I started a garden channel, I’d like to do time lapse videos following real random controlled trials with various techniques to see and demonstrate what works. Maybe a way to have a very boring channel, but it’s what I’d like to see.
