>>What do you think about all this?<<
I was hoping liberation would lead to progressive metal or prog rock, and not grunge music.

My view. People do things that feel good to them, feel safe, feel satisfying or feed ego. For example, dealing with someone who bothers you a lot and reacting feels good, and it could feed ego.
Allowing yourself to fail at something without trying hard because you're afraid that if you try hard, you could fail and feel worse, is attachment to feeling safe or ego.
I think a lot of religions center around avoiding meaningless or self aggrandizing or self-serving attachments, and go pretty far to let people know that life will involve suffering and that bad outcomes may not be avoidable. If buddhism attaches suffering to craving or attachment, it maybe could be a little more objective that suffering may be at the hands of someone else or circumstances created by something else, and it's not for craving or attachment.
I don't see any of these videos of woodworking or trade guys getting into lifestyle. Anything that comes up like this gets an instant personal ban, and anything that involves woodworking almost entirely, i put on do not recommend on YT. Same with any channel that has any product placement sponsored content that's a core part of a video.
But that's one of my personal principles - no ads on the internet, no sponsored videos, and no real media consumption elsewhere that's primary purpose is to figure out what to put around commercials. Only my personal principle, though - I know plenty of people who like the idea that an advertisement could clue them into something they might enjoy. I think life is more enjoyable when a whim or urge leads you to do something because you're curious, but not everyone agrees. (have two cousins, also, who think the best thing about television is commercials. Not so much because they're consumers - they're stingy -but they think commercials are entertaining).
