I think the audience for those types of videos skew young, as in college kids and new graduates without much real experience. All they know about the working world is mostly second-hand knowledge from their network, or straight from Youtube and TV. Unfortunately, there is a whole genre of "Day in the Life Of [my job role]" Youtube channels that rack up millions of views. They are made for entertainment, not edification, so hoping to learn something end up focusing on the superficial parts of it.

The Grindset Motivational Speaker industry and Hustle Culture are mostly selling warmed over sports metaphors to young adults still clinging to shit that was important in high school. The stuff in their seminars and videos are straight from your high school football coach. They might as well be talking entirely in vague sports platitudes like "no pain no gain!" and "just do it!" and "never give up!"
