So I have a little project to do. One I have never tackled before. So what do I do, I go to the internet and look it up on You-tube! Just like everyone else.
I click the first video and within 30 seconds I hear the words, "this is my first attempt at this!"
I skip that one I don't want lessons from a newbie, I want some experienced help.
Video #2, ten seconds in, "I have never done this before but here we go!"
Video #3, "stick with me while we learn this together!"
Video #4. goes all the way to the end before they rejoice with, "not bad for a first try!"
I'm trying to fix something that has a little value and can not be replaced, they don't make them any more! I want to do it right, but all I find are people with ten thumbs playing with an old "Operation" game, waiting to see if it buzzes.
I went back to my last two or three project searches and realized that I have been taking advice from morons for quite some time. Every one of them on a "first try" and filming it!
Is posting a You-tube video becoming the new version of "Here hold my beer!" for middle class suburbanites?
I guess the people that really know how to do stuff are busy doing things, rather than posing for some ego boosting, electronic masturbation session!
