. . . but it does have cool little gems like guys documenting the progress of their first bee colonies or tutorials on how to paint miniature gaming figures in different styles to make them stand out. It's just a shame, because the really nifty and worthwhile videos are often really niche, which means they're not going to get as many hits. For those videos, production value or the lack of is kind of secondary, because the value of an enthusiastic person saying hey, "here is a 50 year old model train I picked up at an antique fair and it's just so great I wanted you to see" is more important than text over images.

I love this channel. Something tells me you also will. It still has the jump cut thing going on, but IMO it adds, not subtracts from the attention to the narrative. I wish I was creative enough to pull something like this off well.

And that was the whole point of Youtube but it is not the way Youtube monetizes which means Youtube will bury that shit in favor of Smosh doing the cinnamon challenge again.
