It’s not really a waste. This guy isn’t anywhere near the top of his field.
I’ve noticed that in almost every industry, there’s someone making YouTube videos about it. These creators usually have a basic understanding and are mainly focused on entertaining a general audience. Then there are the actual experts, the ones doing meaningful, often unseen work. Those experts usually aren’t impressed by the YouTuber.
Even in my own field, there are plenty of people on YouTube repeating outdated or well-known information. To the general public, they might seem like super duper geniuses, but to those of us actually working in the field, it’s nothing new.
I bet anyone in his field could replicate that experiment he did within a week or even less with no difficulty. But they don’t because it’s a pointless exercise.
