Labor, Production, and Value in YouTube Building Explainers

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This short article recognizes the online academy of YouTube building explainers, which spans construction and design. Specifically, I examine one UK-based, English-language online channel named The Gosforth Handyman. The channel is presented by builder Andy Mac and it currently has 285,000 subscribers (at the time of writing in November 2024). I will study here how video explainers like those of Andy Mac simultaneously disrupt, reinforce and extend relations between labor and design in the production of built space. And I hope to explore the cultural consequences of such videos.
