I find it’s pretty unusual to find something being taught in a YouTube video that couldn’t be learned from a book, repair manual/schematics, or a university course. Nothing’s stopping you from seeking out written material instead, especially if you’d be willing to pay people to _stop_ making videos. The obvious reality here is that RandyLahey1989 from Halifax probably isn’t going to start a Substack about snowmobile repair, nor would anyone read it if he did, but his video on replacing the carb in a 2011 Switchback has hundreds of comments thanking him for his help. Wouldn’t you agree the internet’s a better place for giving Randy the chance to share his domain knowledge (and get paid for it)? I seriously think the “everything should be an article” crowd is a bit disconnected with how the average person prefers to create. The future of consumption is video for a growing majority of internet users, one would be a fool to pretend otherwise.
