WTH is Scotty Kilmer's problem, anyway?

If you prefer to watch sub-5 minute videos that teach you absolutely nothing, watch Scotty Kilmer. If you would rather watch somebody fix a car the right way, and you learn from it, watch(among others) South Main Auto.

Predictably, at this point it looks like more people want to be entertained for 4 minutes rather than take 30 minutes to learn something. A lot of YT channels now are a version of the old medicine man. They give you an illusion of teaching you something wrapped around a total merchandising job.
