Same. That's why vintage tool restoration works so well too. they don't waste 5 minutes explaining what rust is; they just spray the WD-40 and get to work.

Do you think there are any niches that haven't been invented yet, or have we officially documented every human interest?

I think as technology evolves, new niches spawn automatically. Like, five years ago, nobody was making videos critiquing the acoustics of virtual reality rooms.

That nostalgia hits different. People pay good money for old CRT monitors now just to play retro consoles the "authentic" way.

It’s pure preservation art at this point. They’re basically digital archivists keeping history alive.

Which brings it all full circle back to why we love these odd channels, they preserve niche corners of human passion that would otherwise be forgotten.
