It's like, for some reason almost every single of these copycat channels involves some kind of South or Southeast Asian folks. (I can't tell by looks - Indian? Filipino?)
Like, this Russian guy clearly has something else in mind than just piggybacking on the popularity of the guy behind Primitive Technology.
I remember some commenter claiming somebody actually makes money by hiring them and having them act the part in these videos, but it was a comment on YouTube, so I'm not going to accept this claim as hard fact without a really good reason. So, yeah. In the end, who knows? Perhaps primitive technology youtubing really is that popular in these parts of the world.
Well, the stuff she showed off is plausible, whether or not she was paid to act it.
I'd still criticize her unlit, unventilated design, though.
mfw I'm becoming the home ambientation guy
He carves a door with pegs on the top and bottom of the door to serve as hinges.
Amusingly, while real-life modern doors standardly use hinges, the only other place I've seen that door design is Lego doors.
But, it seems to work, and whatever works, works.
I've seen my share of old buildings, but I'm afraid none was primitive enough not to be able to use some actual hinges.
There are like 9bn YouTube channels and I frequently dive deep into one subject (mainly fashion and influencer types) and then 2 years later I can't even remember the names of the channels I followed.
I always thought it was like specifically indigenous guys from some unspecified Pacific area.
The only Indian YouTube channels I can think of aside from the ones PewDewPie wants to punch in the gut are those men's salon head massage ones.
I think there are a lot of Influencer Networks or even entire channel models out there run by social media managers but like if you saw this in a YouTube comment it was like 1000% conjecture.
I think this is more popular on instagram because stables of people making photos is easier to manage, but I remember there was a big thing a few years ago because a group of beauty YouTubers were using sets in some abandoned (well, it had been abandoned before they started using it) loft in a big city to stand in for "bedrooms". That is to say, the "bedrooms" were faux-walls built in the middle of an open-plan studio loft area.
When they were caught out they all had a coordinated thing about how it improved their "lighting".

Here's a thing. A raised ranch, with combined living/family/kitchen area up top (with what should be a full bath up there as well), and downstairs there's just one bedroom...if it can even be called a room, since there's no door between it and the upstairs.
This old (1928), though refurbished, house's floorplan ironically ends up looking plausibly like something that might show up in a JRPG.

Probably makes for good Christmas decorating, or watching whatever from your...quite lofty balcony.
If I had infinite time on my hands I'd build a way to get up onto the roof of the main building and then build a bridge between that and the loft. Right now the loft's balcony is a dead-end, and so it feels a bit pointless to go up there, unless I guess you're trying to get away from it all without getting away from it all, or something. The diagonal wooden-looking tiles suggest something out of a restaurant or clubhouse, which gives it a feel that's distinct from the rest of the house.
Also the loft room itself has AC (and the exercise machine suggests an example use), but it lacks plumbing/water. Would be nice if it had plumbing. Then again, if you get sufficiently creative, you could bring water up there yourself. Camp in your own house!
This is a subreddit that should fit right in with this thread.
Like this nautical shed;
I love the colors (that stark primary/royal blue is killer), the open plan lower-deck, and the whole thing is just stuffed to the gills with stuff. I bet you have to set it up with tweezers or similar.
A more typical seaside house. I love the upper deck.
A city-style apartments inner workings. Some of the decoration may be a bit off, but I love the bedroom/study and plant-area set up.
Building one of these would probably take time (days, apparently), patience, and lots of extra mini-equipment that doesn't come in the box.
They do make me long for my LEGO and/or MCX days though.
ehhhh
While the bedroom cluttered with toys and the futon-on-the-floor aren't quite my thing, I definitely appreciate the cozy feel of the house.
My only qualm is that I'm not sure how much cleaning I'd have to do to make sure it's free of pests before I move in. I'd probably change out the carpeting, for starters.
Given that the only full bathroom is in the basement, I think it's entirely logical to have a master bedroom in the basement. I wouldn't go with what they have for a bed -- I'd at least put a bed on a platform. But a bedroom in the basement is arguably quite nice and cozy. My only concern about that is that there may be buildup of radon gas in the basement, in the long run.
And the exposed plumbing in the second bedroom is, frankly, not an issue, in my opinion. While it may make some furniture placement more difficult, with sufficient creativity it becomes a noteworthy fixture of the room itself, being a platform for decorations and/or other uses. (For example, it's quite handy for tying a string or rope around it and something else, to create a clothesline or a horizontal string for almost any other purpose.)
One reason their bedrooms feel so cluttered is because the bedrooms aren't that big while their beds are these full-featured bedframes, and I'm pretty sure the son's bed is a full-size bed itself, even if the two bunked beds are twin-size. For keeping storage space for this much stuff, especially in the girls' room, I would have suggested beds that can be folded up, and for the boy, replacing it with a twin-size bed is a good start. The boy also seems old enough that we can use dorm-room-style space-saving -- for example, lofting his bed so that his desk or other storage can go beneath it. That said, the boy's room doesn't seem that cluttered anyway.
Also, those houses that are used as comparisons...yes, I get the point that they are far less cluttered and look a lot more "clean" and open and spacious, which is definitely nice. But I'll be honest, I've gradually started to feel how "sterile" these designer/model places look. Like, if I lived there, I feel like I'd have to do a ton of upkeep just to keep it looking this nice. It doesn't feel "sustainable" in the sense of being a functional space in that state over a long period of time. I might have picked, for example:
* decorations that are either less prone to dust or easier to dust off
* furniture that's easier to clean (what's shown there may be easy to clean but I don't actually know)
* kitchen cabinetry/countertop designs that are easier to clean, such as sinks that don't form seams with the countertop (though tbf such sinks are I think more expensive and less modular, which is a strike against them)
Furthermore, look at what happened to the boy's bedroom. Originally, it served as a study (with desk space) and bedroom. After the renovation, sure, it looks nice, but...it's now *only* a bedroom. Maybe that appeals to some people, but that feels like a waste of space to me.
Also, the renovated greeting area/living room/gathering room at the top ironically feels more cluttered to me. The original room had a couch and a TV, and nothing in the middle.
Anyhow, bottom line is, given an appropriate price, I would be willing to jump in to buy a house like that.
I guess this is the part where my interior design ideologue shows off a strong stinkeye.
i hope it contains enough living space
105? 3? 1? buildings i would have a philosophical objection to living inhttps://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/37913-Avoca-Ave_Zephyrhills_FL_33541_M52780-25612
Aaand, meanwhile in Poland:
Videos are never perfect for showing the sizes of things, but I think there's enough info here for me to say that this room is probably a smaller to decent sized double; I've seen far larger doubles.
Also, the video creators do indeed have words; the cover is a lie.
I have just learned this is called "Świdermajer" and I like it.
I don't know if that fireplace actually works, but the outside of the house exhibits a chimney.
Remember that this is a place where you don't actually need a fireplace. And where the top of the house right beneath the roof pitches is hot.
> sunny weather
Some of these before-and-after comparison pictures are so blatantly unfair.
Also, ironically, I found this page while looking for something very tight and cozy.
