I know how you feel Jon.
I enjoy participating and helping to answer questions and getting some of my questions answered, I certainly have learned a thing or two here. Still it is hard to compete with YouTube how-to videos, though I sometimes get the desire to tell some of those wahoos that heat treating O1 in a coffee can forge is not the best way to do it. Especially the ones who are using the platform to sell their wares. If I make them angry they just delete my comments. No discussion allowed.
I've seen some poor workmanship pawned off as the best way to do it. I told them it was the wrong way nicely too, but then was told I don't know what I'm talking about and then had my comments deleted when I showed I did know what I was talking about and said they were not craftsmen.
Some are open to correction though and that's who I watch. I've noticed the leather side is more open to though.
