There is a huge subculture of sailors on Youtube, which is part of my escapism entertainment.
Of course Youtube’s algorithm being Youtube’s algorithm and capitalism being capitalism a large part of those sailing videos is bikini content. But at the same time a large part of the sailing existence is repairing, renovating and upgrading their small yachts, from fiberglassing to solar to watermaking. As you say, a peek into a fascinating existence.
- sausagefeet 3y agoAs someone who recently moved onto a boat after discovering all those YouTube channels, I agree! I've found the less produced channels to be the most exciting.
- ttepasse 3y agoYes. The trick is to find these channels early and then bear to unfollow them when they get to streamlined.
- apgwoz 3y agoMy favorite recent channel is called “Boring Sailing,” which the algorithm served up, but has very few subscribers. It’s actually—truly—been boring to watch, at times, but you have to root for him! “Wilding sailing,” on the other hand, is a much more ambitious labor fest, with the boat owner restoring a catamaran he bought for 2k Euros. That’s been inspiring, entertaining, and really worth subscribing to.
