Technologies that were considered "high-tech" 20-30 years ago are now accessible to regular people. Making DRAM. I remember a video recently of a guy making his own floppy disks. Next I expect people to manufacture integrated circuits that have been discontinued. Like the Z80
This guy is proof that newcomers to YouTube can still succeed, if they find the right niche.
Is it? Looks like this video is "locked" on Patreon requiring "this post and more exclusive work. Join for $10/month" yet got, as of now, 329 611 views ... so are they just making $3M/month or is it not really working?
No one is expecting them to make a fortune over night, but it at least shows there is space for new people. This video was actually push into my feed by youtube which is rare for new creators. So they clearly are doing pretty well in the grand scheme of things.
I only buy free-range artisanal DRAM at the DRAM farmer's market.
Admit it, deep down, our inner engeering child also wants to build a semiconductor clean room ;)

What are you talking about? The video is free on YouTube. Patreon is just another way of supporting the channel beyond the usual ad-sense, sponsors, etc. No one is expecting them to make a fortune over night, but it at least shows there is space for new people. This video was actually push into my feed by youtube which is rare for new creators. So they clearly are doing pretty well in the grand scheme of things.
The comment of the video also says "Thanks for the support!" whereas I (maybe you are a subscriber to their Patreon but I know I'm not) have not contributed anything.
Does this look normal to have locked videos behind a paywall then have it public and free elsewhere?
PS: I obviously didn't expect them to make this amount (even though it would be nice) only trying to highlight that there is a mismatch and thus trying to understand what the problem is, namely is that video actually meant to be public.

What do you mean with "What are you talking about?" while my comment literally post to the Patreon account and I copy/pasted their message. The comment of the video also says "Thanks for the support!" whereas I (maybe you are a subscriber to their Patreon but I know I'm not) have not contributed anything.

Yes, this is very normal on youtube with both patreon and nebula.
I saw this video yesterday and considered posting it, but I wasn’t sure if it was appropriate for HN. This channel has another video where it shows how the clean room lab is created starting from a basic backyard shed, and that was truly astounding. The positive pressure to keep the number of particles low in someone’s backyard is almost mystical to me.

Can you please give me an example of locked content that is openly shared outside? I guess I don't understand the monetization in that situation so I'd appreciate if you could help me get what they are doing here.
