Comment on What are the easiest types of internet videos to make that are not slop?

Don’t start with easy or hard. Start with what you want to talk about. “Making YT video” doesn’t mean shit if you have nothing to say. Start with a topic. There is not a single subject that " requires a whole team". Every subject can be talked about with a smartphone and a decent mic… and a good problem solving mindset
Exactly. I’d much, much rather watch a dinosaur video from someone who really really wants to talk about dinosaurs, and found video as a medium to talk about it, rather than someone who wants to do video and is trying to come up with a topic for the videos he already wants to make.
Same with cooking, comedy, tech, business, current events, politics, etc. I’d rather watch/listen to someone who cares about those things specifically than someone who wants to “create content.”
This is really only if you make commentary style of videos. Which is a huge part of what YouTube is now but still not the only thing on there. There’s skits, there’s not a lot of it, but still people’s films, there’s just something interesting that happened and you had the presence of mind to film it, there’s animation, I think there’s a degree of citizen journalism on there too though I’ve ot really seen a lot of that. That would be maybe commentary adjacent but still slightly different than just a person and a topic.
That said you could do all of those solo, with varying degrees of difficulty.

I assumed they meant some kind of group skit thing.
