Most of these channels just copy other ACTUAL instructors material and post new videos with high cost equipment and gigh quality editing software. I have NO respect for these Channels!
How many YouTube "Pool" related Channels are there?

Shaun Murphy has a new (well to me) channel. I enjoy his presentations.

What are you on about? Half of these aren't even pool instruction channels.
Regardless, what you describe is 90% of today's internet, it is called enshittification. Welcome to the brave new AI world.
Fkn'A right!! 'En-shittification'. Classic. "Welcome to AI, a brave new world of digital f^*kery and enshittification".
WTF
I would have killed for this information 25 years ago. I was lucky enough to be within driving distance of Bert when I was coming up.
Then we had his VHS tapes and some from a few others. Not even 1% of what people have at their fingertips today.
There are a lot of quality channels out there with valuable information.
I'm surprised there are not more high-level players. I guess it's mainly due to the loss of the majority of pool rooms in America.
Our town went from four pool halls to zero in about 15 years.

This is nothing but great for pool. The amount and quality of content is exploding. Get on the bus, or under the bus, your choice.

The hilarious part is that none of the youtube coaches ever show themselves really playing a full match or even a game. Everything is always edited and copied off of an actual certified instructors channel. I have a channel on YouTube and Tic Tok and you won't catch me screwing up peoples games to get views! I show what I can do and hopefully, entertain a bit too. Just saying these guys annoy me to no end. HillbillyIslandLife is the place. Check it out and hammer me with criticism

Just a few of the most popular online coaches who do play - Niels Feijen, Darren Appleton, Jasmin Ouschan, and to a lesser degree Sharivari.The hilarious part is that none of the youtube coaches ever show themselves really playing a full match or even a game.

Note that the best players rarely make good instructors, and good instructors are rarely the best players.
But you were just trolling for views of you own channel, by putting others down, so consider your channel blocked by me. What a dick move.

They are Pros. Not pool coaches. They make their living playing the game.

You said "Most of these channels". Most means most.
