As a consoomer I find interesting that the production quality has bigger say over which DIY projects I watch than if the thing they are building aligns to my interest. For example JohnnyQ90 is filming himself creating very high quality RC cars from scratch, and despite me not having interest in machining/rc cars I still watch basically all his videos.

Your interest being niche may not matter as much as you may think.

That’s a good point! Though, I would still argue that things like RC cars are more mainstream then a video about building a RISC-V emulator or re-implementing an existing protocol.

You are right. Such concepts are truly abstract, such for illustrations are hard to make. The matches may not be perfect, but examples in this case come to mind:

[0]braintruffle - took the concept of computer fluid simulation as main topic over detailing specific implementation, few videos a year.

[1]Reducible - His explanation of GJK algo, even after reading papers on it, made me appreciate it.

Both utilise extensive animation skills, mastering meaning of video.
