I've toyed with it a bit.
I've found that the editing and computer work is tedious and time consuming.
Audio quality is hugely important. Even with good mics, I had background static. Post processing with audacity helped clean it up.
You don't really recognize it much when you're watching videos, but in periods where you're showing some process but not speaking, you need to sort some appropriate ambient background music.
Tripods.
Indoors, lighting is really important. Three point lighting with a key, background and fill light is classic for a good reason, it works.
Some (most?) LED's produce flicker artifacts. *expletive deleted*it DC filtering, cuts costs. I run the workshop lights off high voltage dc for this reason.
Thanks.
Wrangler star has resorted to click bait. His earlier stuff was good but he is technically very well equipped and capable.
Tis the life-cycle of youtube:
Start taking videos of stuff you're doing for fun.
Once you've got some people following, turn on the monetization.
Once the money starts coming in, start going more pro: better equipment, maybe some help editing.
Sponsorship? Hey, here's more money if you start talking about our VPN or online service in the middle of your video!
People get tired of your crap, viewership drops
Creator starts getting desperate, and tries to get those clicks by clickbaiting.
