That's a pretty good assessment, but what the viewers don't see is all the effort required to do all these things. So far I've only written out an entire script for one of my videos. I typically have an idea, but a lot of what I cover are the little tips and tricks that you run into along the way. I can't think of all those tips until I'm in the job and running into that issue sparks my memory.Making videos:
1. WORK FROM A SCRIPT. At least, have an outline of what needs to be covered to keep you on-track.
2. Use a camera that focuses properly, and hold the camera still.
3. EDIT. EDIT AGAIN. EDIT AGAIN.
4. Content like this--where you're discovering how to do the job as you film it--is honest, it's genuine... But the viewers don't need to waste their attention span
Its very clear you didn't watch any of the videos...that is why you made your first comment as well as this one. You can't believe everything you read on in the internet with out doing some DD which you clearly did not. In life before making such decisions it is recommended you do some research.Apparently such is the life of a "content creator"
Once you attempt to monetize knowledge, the desire to milk it is great. So is the desire to clown or scorn such attempts at cashing in, by those of us that have distributed knowledge for free.

I'll confess I spend as little time as possible watching yt "how to" videos.Its very clear you didn't watch any of the videos...that is why you made your first comment as well as this one.

Cameras are always a pain in the butt. It's hard to tell what's in the frame. Invest in a tripod to hold your camera. I also have a small wire bracket to hold my camera in confined areas. I only hand-hold the camera when I have to include movement.
Absolutely edit the crap out of your videos. I use OpenShot; it's free and relatively user friendly. Aim to keep your videos less than 15 minutes, and if you can say it in 3 minutes, don't belabor the point. When I'm turning the wrenches, I edit the video speed. Still, most viewers will check out in the first few minutes.
There's a muddy line between being genuine and being tedious. You have to cut out the tedious stuff, which seems artificial, but there's no point in being absolutely genuine if nobody watches.
Don't make YouTube videos thinking it's a pathway to being a millionaire influencer. I make my videos just because I've learned (and am still learning) a lot and I think there's a lack of real technical education out there. I enjoy being able to share my knowledge. It also helps motivate me to get out there at least a couple times a week to turn wrenches.
This isn't directed at ForeverFalcon40 because he already has about 100x the subscribers I do, but in general for anyone else who's looking to make videos.

Wow bro.. just quit while you're ahead. I understand you feel like you need to defend your channel or whatever but I didn't make any direct comments about it, and also didn't make any claims about my knowledge. Calm down. Or whatever..That is great you know it all. I don't and many others as well. I'm sorry my channel isn't for you its 2023 you can never make everyone happy.

If you ever decide to do a rear brake conversion please use a TSM kit. There are a small mom n pop machine shop and customer service was TOP NOTCH. I had no intentions of vlogging this, but after talking to Tim I felt I was obligated too. Just his wife, him and a helper...he just reminds of the "legends" at work. "Legends" I call the older guys at my shop who are up there in age compared to me as well as skills and knowledge I can only hope to master one day. I knew nothing about my line of work when I started (I lied at my interview and begged them after to hire me). I started my career with next to nothing first hand experience but I had close to 400 years of prior experience to support me. I am forever grateful. Talking to Tim on the phone and emails gave me Legendary Vibes. If I had the luxury to take Mandingo, Tools, and myself to CO to document there I would.
