There are so many useful videos on this stuff, but unfortunately the majority of the population still seems reluctant to learn.

I'm not sure the majority of the population will ever need, or even want, to learn to bleed fuel lines, so I wouldn't consider it reluctance. And I would wager that the majority of the (internet) population does engage in learning activities on the regular.

Tangential, but made me think of this YouTube channel I like.

I have no plans to own a tractor but for some reason many others and I enjoy videos like this one:

		New Zealand tree farmer Marty T has been posting detailed "back from the dead" tractor / bulldozer / grader / etc. restoration project videos for some time. * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVvO1tKKjRQ * https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLrCvcRxFfyzt3vJmctRaN... etc. Also hydropower from old washing machine parts and other associated stuff you do on the land videos.

I think this kind of thing is much more commonplace than you think.

Never underestimate a young person and their phone. They not only use youtube or chatgpt to solve daily problems, but date, pay bills, and communicate with their friends using mostly videos/photos/emojis (and occasionally english).
