I'm on the socially insular side as well and find my time learning instead of shared viewerships like sports. I'm checked out on up to date sports even if I do participate in kick boxing. There's tons of technique breakdown videos that's more interesting than watching every fight. But for those training up, seeing full definition replays of fights from amateur to high paid professionals at your fingertips as well as full breakdowns and other professionals in the comments is just building up tons of people to finesse their skills deeply in their crafts.
OTOH
I have a family member who is into those "shallow" videos but she is tuning her social media posts to be more interactive and her posts are "very extra". Many of these vloggers do a lot of behind the scenes in depth trade secret videos once in awhile and she seems to find out video trends. Her hobby is content creation, selfies, and making homevideos that other people watch.
Reminds me of my dads and uncles lugging around cameras at every social function and upgrading to digital but she's now at the level of compressing it to something quick and watchable and a slideshow of what happened rather than a full recording like it was a documentary. She's gotten the engagement factor dialed in.
It's nice to have her taking and editing videos as that's something of worth. Taking boring events (get together) where a straight video or group photos is the usual and making them personalized and basically something people want to add and to share on their wall if they were at those locations.
Otherwise she's been watching a ton of home-based businesses walkthroughs and interviews with small business entrepreneurs. Those are big in niche communities and these shows are in our mothertongue.
She does bounce ideas off me a ton for business ideas. She's more interested in retail ideas and wanted to advertise using social media than is interested in selling her services as a social media person.
She's in her 60s. I'm in my 30s. She's more tech literate than me in regards to social media use even if I work at one. She's also more in tune with what people my age range are interested in and willing to pay for.
If she does go into business I don't mind funding her, lol. She has a way of breaking into trends before mainstream moves into those trends.
Science and math and other cool stuff might help round out young people but I don't push that stuff to my older family members. I'm the "youth" and none of my generation as kids yet. I don't see a reason to push the older folks into those subjects on YouTube. I might send them gardening tips, ideas, and a boring lectures or someone building out some fancy yard feature but I doubt they sit through it. I did send some tree planting advice and they fell asleep to it.
Very opposing to what people push to youth. But there's still value in "wasting time" I think
