When you try to appeal to normies (YouTube viewers), you cannot separate this from the fact that you are automatically appealing to the lowest common denominator. At that point it’s not about how good you are at photography/videography, it’s about how good you are at presenting yourself to normalfags as someone who knows about it.
I only watch photography related YouTube videos when I’m considering buying new gear and I want to make sure I’m aware of all the quirks and how it looks and feels, but I don’t really pay attention to their meaningless opinions. For the important stuff, and my final decision, I follow Ken Rockwell’s review like its the word of God.
