Some of the most popular YouTube channels are similar: people doing "mundane chores" - some watch for ASMR but I think a lot of it to connect to the real world - because online is not very satisfying after you get used to it after the first dopamine hits:
• Lawn care and mowing - my favorites - both are Christians and do the charity of free lawn care for those having troubles

• Construction - my favorite - he shows rain or shine, sick or not; with a wonderful down-home accent

• Repair - my favorite - makes me appreciate his skill and confirms I'll never want to do it myself. I'm not for sure but reckon he's fixin' to repair that old boy.

A common theme - they are NOT really knowledge economy jobs/work. Not everyone can become programmers. And online is far lower "information/novelty" than the real world. Another theme - these people are happy doing what they are doing - you can tell. Finally most of them how "fly-over accents" which is what most people experience everyday so it's more relatable to most people.

In fact, there's a reputation programmers have of not being the handiest ... > Finally most of them how "fly-over accents" which is what most people experience everyday so it's more relatable to most people. Most people live on the coasts. CA is a much more common accent than Idaho. Also, IIRC and IME, regional accents are disappearing.
