I'm thinking about starting my own gardening or homesteading YouTube channel, but I'm curious about what everyone thinks of the current creators out there. Are there any specific channels you love or hate? What should I keep in mind if I decide to jump in?

I've watched a few homesteading channels and while they can be entertaining, I get annoyed when they start pushing sponsorships or sales. I prefer the ones that just give genuine advice and stick to the topic. If you're thinking about creating content, make sure it's informative!
I personally find a lot of these homesteading channels to be quite repetitive. There's only so much you can discuss when it comes to gardening unless you dive into more complicated topics. Some of them seem to just be pushing products rather than giving solid advice, which can be frustrating. Just make sure to find ones that share information relevant to your region since gardening tips can vary a lot by climate!
Totally agree! I want practical tips, not just sales pitches. That's why I stick to channels focused on expertise rather than lifestyle vlogs.
I actually enjoy watching homesteading videos, even if they're not always localized to my climate. Some channels like 'More than Farmers' give great insights and have a very positive vibe. If you have a passion for gardening, I think you should definitely go for it! Just be authentic and share what you love!
Absolutely! Authenticity goes a long way on YouTube. Plus, you might find your own unique angle that sets you apart!
Right! There’s too much fluff in some of these channels. Keeping it real and helpful is key to standing out!
