You queued up a 50+ minute video, without so much as previewing it to see if it was on topic (hint: if its mostly a talking head it is not on topic), and then came to bitch about it on 4Chan? Not even bitching about the actual task, but some video? Are you pants on head retarded or something? Like we give a shit you can't identify a shit video after 15 seconds. If you manage to fix that mower the first thing you should do is ride over yourself with it.
>>
>>2998608
Kys faggot I bet you're the one making these damn videos. Nobody gives a shit about your personal life. Just get on with the video.
>>
>>2998608
This guy gets it

OP's point was obviously how bad these tutorials have become in general, and he's right.
>>
>>2998606
This is every boomer diy video on youtube.
Guess what? Your dad loves this shit and will watch all 50 minutes of it
>>
>>2998689
>have become
No, modern tutorials built for the algorithm are substantially better than the past.
For making money, viewer engagement and watch time is far more important than the old "10 minute for 2 ads" rule of thumb.
Modern tutorials are getting far more compact, to the point, with less fluff. People dont even do outtros anymore its just an abrubt end so they squeeze every last second of "view time". If you have an outtro people click off the video with 10 seconds of dead time left and it hurts your video. People clicking out of videos because of ads due to it being arbitrarily 10 minutes is very bad.

Tutorials for lots of obscure or more blue collar type stuff are still the videos posted 14 years ago with no editing and lots of droning on.

Leaving you their asbestos infested radon capture device to move to Florida and go on cruises, likely to continue their life that a condom failure put on hold, is not the way you want to get a house.
>>
>>2998715
You sound angry and are projecting a whole lot.
Its pretty common for middle class and upper middle class families to not only have rental houses, but to give their kids houses.

Its a starter house sure, but its the same as handing me 200k in cash when I go to sell it and move onto another house.

Living in a multigenerational house is what third worlders do, because they literally cant afford to do otherwise.
Your grandmother lives with your parents and with you because she literally couldnt go live on cruises if she wanted to.

Protip for helpful internet videos: filter by age and skin color. 45 year old white man with dirty fingers and a shop full of tools in the background? That's the help you need. 23 year old brown guy trying to be charming? Call him slurs in the comments and skip the video.

>>2998713

Shit I can't type. Let's try that again.
Blame the updated algorithm. Youtubers only get rewarded now based off how long they can keep viewers engaged, so they have to pad for time. Normally you can mouseover the time time bar while checking out the thumbnails to determine where to skip to.
>>
>>2998606
hey there arm chair critic.

put your money where your mouth is, and start your own channel. show us all how it is done.

you don't know the first thing about having a youtube channel.

faggots like you will attack you over everything you do/don't do.

go fuck yourself.
>>
>>2998606
Mustie1. one of the best youtubers for small engines, VW's, and all sorts of DIY.

he's based. try not being an impatient useless zoomer.
>>
>>2998609
>everyone who disagrees with me must be the person I am talking to.
typical moron response.
what a little impotent faggot.
>>
>>2998689
Mustie1 does not do tutorial. he fixes shit, while you watch. if you don't like his style there are BILLIONS of other videos you can watch.
>>
>>2998705
>unc
they zoomer uses the insult he is most afraid of.

stop using black slang.
>>
>>2999076
anon. OP is just raging about someone who has a successful youtube channel. his pick is a screen shot from the video.
>>
>>2998606
read a book on it and do it YOURSELF
>>
>how to do X without Y
>open video
>"first, have Z..."
Well, if I had Z, I wouldn't fucking need Y in the first place, would I? Great fucking guide, you cocksucking fuck.

Tutorial videos are a waste of time. You can't even find decent teardowns of most shit these days.

>>2999076
I figured out the problem thanks to LLMs and no thanks to Youtube sloppa

Do

get it?

>>2998606
if you watched his channel zoomertard you would know that it is not a "tutorial" channel.

he states in almost every video he makes that you are basically hanging out with him in his garage while he wrenches.

I've learned a ton about fixing small engines from him. when I get an engine to work on that he has fixed, it's like I have already done it before. his style is very good for learning.

just don't be an impatient idiot. put your phone away and pay attention to something for once in your very short life. watch his videos from start to finish and don't do anything else. you will be surprised at what you will learn.

thus endeth the lesson.

anon... that doesn't happen anymore. it should though.
