Basics

The Maker Movement has a significant share of the YouTube Space
It can be divided into a few groups
- Artistic Making ( Cosplay / Chindogu / Hardware Speedrunning etc)
- DIY Scams ( "LIFEHACK, make FREE ENERGY DEVICE for FREE using COMMON HOUSEHOLD MATERIALS", uses lots of Hot Glue and Popsicle Sticks etc)
- DIY Projects / Documented DIY
- Full on proper OSHW development
The categorization will have lots of Grey Areas and in general is a Fuzzy Concept , but should still be useful
Short of pointing it out, and thus excluding it from the work DIY Scams won't be mentioned much further
Also many adjacent spaces such as Review Channels / Artistic Making etc may not develop OSHW, but still may utilize it (increasing Machine Hours ), point out any issues/fixes, as well as provide Advocacy and Word-of-Mouth Marketing which is important nonetheless!
