Ya know what? I'm gonna toot my own horn today On Here Specifically.
I have already received at least a dozen thankful comments/replies for letting people know they can slow down door closers. A lot of people have been living with irritating bangs in apartment buildings and whatnot.
And thanks to watching a YouTube video, their life is now better. I didn't sell anything to them, I just decided to share some knowledge in my own (hopefully entertaining) way.

So next time someone shares a YouTube video with you and you want to be a stick in the mud about that, remember that everyone has their own paths to knowledge *and* their own way to spread knowledge.
"this could have been an article"
Yeah it could be, and in fact it is! Anyone could look up door closers on Wikipedia and get the gist of my video's information.
But many millions of people don't even know they're called door closers. Hell, I didn't! Not until I needed to install one.

Now, people browsing YouTube looking for something to watch are getting a helpful video with a thumbnail and title that makes clear "this is a door closer, they are adjustable, I will show you how to slow them down" and they're going to learn a lot of cool shit if they click through.
That's why I do this. And please feel free to bookmark this thread in case you'd like to educate one of the loud YouTube/video haters for me.

@TechConnectify F the haters. I'm a renter without a driver's licence, so like 80% of your videos have no practical use for me.
But I love every single one of them. I love discovering how everyday home technologies work. I love the way you talk about them and I love the dad jokes. Social media (and YouTube especially) is filled with this overproduced algorithm-chasing crap. And I love your stuff for not chasing the trends and just doing your weird old-school tv show on seemingly mundane things

@TechConnectify if you really want to confuse and mess with the haters you could unironically do a video on how electronic igniters work on gas stoves.

@bondolo Heh, funny you should mention this. I've written quite the gag intro for a related topic which I'll probably hammer out next.
