I definitely find them useful. Most of the time, if there's something I don't know how to do, whether it's home DIY projects or even hairstyles/beauty tips, then I look up tutorial videos online.

I'm the type of person who learns by watching others, so those videos make it easy to understand the process of doing something, step by step. When I'm looking up how to do something, I usually just search for what I need to do + DIY and then a whole host of videos show up. Easy peasy!

Yes, same here with me, the person who is doing a DIY on the video that I'm watching feels like it's very easy for him to do what he is doing, but when I am trying to do the things that he is doing, I feel like it's not right or good, that the outcome will be bad.

Maybe you are watching the right video at the wrong time. But if you are really into the craft you are watching, try watching other videos that would walk you through the basics. Try one with voice instructions as well. There were a lot videos that are actually hard to follow when they only show how it is done.

simple mistakes could ruin the whole house hence the need for renovators to be called in.

Which is why you should do some minor repairs only. Things like replacing broken window panes is something anyone can learn from DIY videos. Such things can set you back a couple of bucks if you have a handyman do the work for you.

Another thing that one can learn from DIY videos is how to replace broken floor or wall tiles. Learning how to do a few of these things can save you a lot of money.

I don't think that vlogs will replace blogs completely. Visual content is great for anything which someone needs to see how it is done practically in order for them to do it well. For anything DIY, visual content rules. That however doesn't necessarily mean that people won't write DIY articles anymore.

I love DIY videos especially from Youtube, I learn so much from them. They are not a perfect solution, because your problem may need to be solved by a professional. I had a problem with my car boot and door and it was too late to go to a mechanic. I looked on Youtube and learned how to fix both. This was a temporary solution offcourse but it worked. If I had left both opened it would have drained the battery and I would have had to spend a lot of money.

Sure I do! They are very useful for people who doesn't have any idea about how to do a certain job. I always watch DIY videos if I don't know exact steps to complete a task. For example, last video I watched was about how to replace headlight bulbs for my Chevy Cruze. It was 5 minutes long and gave me the idea, so I tried and succeeded which saved me from giving 10$ to service. My wife also watches some DIY videos for small home improvement.

I’d say that some DIY videos are definitely useful, but a lot of them are just doing it to hop on the trend and grab some easy YouTube revenue. I’m pulling this statistic out of thin air, but I’d say like 20% of DIY videos are genuinely useful, and the other 80% are just a bunch of useless junk that no one would really have any incentive to make.

For example, I once saw a video of a person making a hot glue gun out of cardboard. Not only did the process require using an actual hot glue gun, but when a professional electrician replicated the process, the thing turned out to be an extreme fire hazard capable of burning your house down.

DIY has basically turned into a meme at this point. The only real, reliable DIY is to go to sites or forums with actual hobbyist who take home crafting and DIY seriously.

Yes, definitely! DIY videos are easier to understand than written instructions. It is more effective since the audience can clearly see how the process works. Of course, there are some DIY videos which may be confusing, hence the ideal thing to do is to couple the DIY video with a clear step-by-step narration of the tutorial.

They are indeed very useful. Well it actually depends on how it is made. If the video is not really that specific and instructions are not clear, then it is useless for the person watching it. Me, I find video tutorials useful. I actually learned how to make bracelets and amigurumis (crochet dolls/ yarn dolls) through DIY videos. From learning the basics there, I was able to start doing more complex designs. The finished products are actually the items that I sell online. So just by watching a DIY video, I was able to earn extra money.

Pretty much same with me. I don't follow many DIY channnels which make use of Wood, cement and other difficult stuff. The reason being I can't have those things at home.

It could be considered tragic, another way in which loneliness invades us, but the learning process never ceases to be social. Humans, as a species, need to share what they know, manifested in this case in DIYs. My mother, who has the top position of being the best cook I know, did not teach me directly how to cook. The strictly didactic work was delegated to YouTube, which with its countless tutorials allowed me to learn relatively elaborate recipes.

The good thing about DIY Videos is that you can save money since you can do the things on your own without the help of an expert. If you have a tight budget, you can just watch videos on Youtube and follow their instructions. Some of the videos are good since you can use some kinds of stuff that you just keep in your house. Something that you don't expect that can be used.

It could be used as a reference when you want something to do by yourself. It's just that there are some video tutorials that takes a lot of practice before you could perfect certain tasks.

I think it depends on what kind of DIY video you're watching and following. Most of the videos that I have watched were very handy. I can use them in certain situations. I do agree though that some of them might just be done to earn views and money but once you've watched a worthy DIY video you'll be addicted. Most of the videos I have watched came from Japanese channel.

When it comes to DIY, I usually think about effort, more affordable or you just want to be creative. DIY videos was very useful to me specially when it is going to be a gift for someone. I could learn something different than the usual things that you can only buy at stores. Isn't it lovely to build your own gifts to give on someone special.

So far I find DIY videos very helpful and useful for me. Instead of enrolling to a school or training center, you can learn some skills in Youtube DIY videos for free. This can save your time and more easy to follow tutorials. I think that's the reason why there are so many DIY videos in the Youtube because they become in-demand for so many people.

Yes of course DIY are useful, for me I just watch DIY stuffs on YouTube and copy it, especially when I'm doing a letter for my girlfriend I just follow carefully the instructions told on the YouTube video and that's it, it's super easy to do and I have a lot of fun doing it and it also makes my girlfriend feel special because I didn't buy it, I made effort in doing my gift for her.

I really do feel that DIY videos are useful. I do watch them when I am trying to figure out various crafts. For my birthday, my husband purchased pom pom makers for me because I have been wanting to make a pom pom rug for our camper. At first, I was confused by the instructions that were provided as they were not very clear. So then I resorted to youtube and found a video. It really helped me learn how to do it. For me, watching is a lot easier sometimes than reading.

DIY videos are helpful but usually they also take time to do it. If you're in a budget, you can try DIY videos but if you're always in a hurry and you want to save your time, you can just buy instead. It depends on the situation. It's a matter of priority.

Some of those videos are just like the lifehack videos, at the beginning you thinking that it must be something great, something interesting and useful, however in the end it turns out that you just wasted a couple of minutes. The most useful video i ever watched, was back when i was dreaming about undertaking a sanding project. In the end, there are a lot of great videos, and also some really sh*tty ones.

I can't say that their videos a completely useless. Unfortunately, I also sometimes get disappointed because of the quality of their videos and other factors that influence my point of view referred to their products. Still, there are a lot of different platforms on the internet that offer better quality content. For example, you can take a look at royalty free stock footage. They have pretty informative and well-structured videos. I am sure you wouldn't be disappointed about it.
