Along with the fake restoration and the free energy videos, yt is full of that crap...
Exactly!
At first, years ago, I
almost "bought into" that crap,
almost believing it was justifiable.
But my extensive, long-term professional training and certification, my 45+ years of working in the shop on customer's equipment, along with my "something doesn't smell right" told me it's all just for ratings, hits, and cheap amusement.
On TV, there's a show called American Restorations, where they "restore" people's various equipment like vintage cars, vending machines, and old audio, etc.
I gotta laugh at the so-called crew there, they don't know what they're even talking about, much less describing the restoration details.
In one episode, they "restore" a 1961 old Philco record player console.
Now mind you, back then those things were all vacuum tube products.
In fact the console that they featured was the exact same model that I restored for a customer about 25 years ago in my shop.
Yet, the goony "technician" of the show who described what he had done stated that he replaced "transistors" in the set.
During the scene, he actually shorted out the chassis of it and blew the shop's main circuit breaker!
Perhaps that was just some added humor done for the viewers, I dunno.
Yeah, right! - what a moron!
Like the old saying goes - Don't believe everything you hear/see on the internet.
Use Common Sense - as my mom used to tell me.
