    I feel like most diy construction channels are explicitly not designed for beginners/non construction workers to follow along with and imo that’s fine. Its a very specific niche for people with a very specific set of skills and for them its probrally pretty helpful.

    I mean you wouldn’t expect a YouTube channel that does advanced scientific experiments to reduce their safety equipment so viewers could more easily replicate their experiments.

    Tldr: It might be DIY that doesn’t mean you can DIY it

      I feel like I am in the target audience of this type of channel. I have spent the last 20 years buying a tool every few months, usually used. I might not have every tool, but short of a lathe or excavator, I can usually figure out a replacement.

      I still consider myself a DIYer, since i am not professionally trained to do anything. I am fortunate enough to have like minded friends, some even professionals to ask. They watch these channels too, and they consider themselves DIYers on everything but their specialty area.
