Gardening Youtube channels....another illusion.
I have written about this in the past. Not that I think much of this world is real, but I am finding more and more of "content creators" to be an illusion.
As I enjoy gardening and cooking, I subscribe to many "content creators" in those areas. Especially with the gardening, the personalities, their gardens, and their attitudes seem very unrealistic to me.
The below gentlemen lures the user with a title that a gardener might need help with....battling pests. He spends the first ten minutes showing off his garden that he supposedly maintains as a single person. I maintain it would take a full time crew of at least 10 people to maintain his garden. I think these videos are meant to demoralize the viewer. They make the viewer feel inadequate. Typical of this reality, they masquerade as help while undercutting you emotionally.
I started my onion seeds in January of this year. Peppers and tomatoes in late February. I started working outdoors in late March or early April. My garden cannot come close to what his looks like.
Also his answer of covering everything in netting would be at least another fulltime job for half a dozen people...not to mention the issues with watering and harvesting.
I tried netting in the past for brassicas and blueberries. Both were unsuccessful, with cabbage moths getting inside the netting. The netting on the blueberries was totally unrealistic.
My guess is this guy really exists in New Jersey, but there is something off with all of these videos. I say this with my firsthand gardening experience for over a decade. This reality works it scripts through people to further degrade others.
