I’m not trying to be a butt head first of all, and this is America, and anyone can do what they want. But why do lower level players make videos that seem to be instructional????? They don’t get many views, and they offer no real insight that cant be gotten from a real pros video??????

if i have a problem, and search you tube for a video that might help me with my problem, I’m looking for a pros video:

DR DAVE
SHARVARI
NEILS THE TERMANATOR
DARREN APPLETON
BOB JEWELL
FX BILLIARDS
THE BROTHERS FROM CHINA,
TOM LOWERY

Sharvari is by no means some top player much less a pro. Many non pros actually teach subject matter much better and more clearly than a majority of pros, especially those with you guessed it a strong professional TEACHING Background. Remember pros are pool players first not teachers and instructors, being good at one doesn’t necessarily translate to the other.

It’s two diff skill sets.

But simply put many players struggle to come up then get helped and just enjoy trying to help others as best they can….that’s probably the simplest most applicable answer.

You teach a 3 something and when they are a 5 suddenly they are giving 3’s lessons. It’s common.

You would do well to add Barry Stark to your list of preferred instructors.
 
I’ve seen cooking videos by people that can’t make a ballony sandwich 🥪🥪

ive asked myself 2 questions

1 why?

2 why can’t I spell ballony?

Fatboy, some things never change 🌵😳
This drives me insane. I have to watch 8 different videos to weed out what makes sense and what
is no good before I even think about making it.
Some are consistently good.
Babish and vice munchies come to mind.
 
Shit rolls downhill?????

Time is precious. Stick with the best, ignore the rest.
 
It's the Dunning-Kruger effect, which continues to flourish these days. That, plus, for some, greed. They actually think they might just take off and go a bit viral and make some money.

Add Anthony Beeler to your list.

Yeah, but on a more positive note, maybe they’re just into it and want to make a video. People make videos about everything they do today, it’s free to post it, and they’re just having fun. Better pool than eating cinnamon or choking themselves into unconsciousness.
 
They want to help. Very few amateurs are trying to monetize their instructional content and they are under zero illusion that they are qualified to instruct at high levels. They feel the urge to share something and they do. They are also brave for opening themselves up to hateful comments and criticism should they get something wrong.

Some average players like Little Chris do a pretty good job with the videos they make adding multiple angles and graphics. Even though Chris' isn't a high level player he is a decent player and I believe that his videos are beneficial to pool.

I'm wondering how many names you can butcher in one list.

Only way to find out is to ask them. Who else knows why people do what they do.
