Understood your situation, but personnaly I'm not watching so much professional content on YT; actually, I'm not watching YT as much as I used to when the service was young and unprofessional.

What I want from such a platform is authenticity... and curation.

That’s what I find silly about YouTube.

Through effective search, Google enabled mass deportalization. The best link would win. Your crappy but good blog about how to fix an issue could become top in the results.

Now YouTube favours entertainer-mechanic making subscribeable but generic videos instead of… the one specific to your vehicle by some gruff but knowledgeable mechanic.

Like, c’mon buddy, the bolt only comes off like that in the studio after 3 practice runs.
