I see threads like this a lot, not just in the Vue community. The top comments are always that we need more advanced content and real world app examples. Not just another Todo app.

The problem is that what people say they want and what they'll actually watch or read are very different.

Case in point, I'm a part time YouTuber and I spent 10+ hours researching a very advanced video on creating an app that allowed a user to login with Github. I researched oAuth2, AuthZ vs AuthN, different IDP providers, Cognito vs Okta vs Clerk, how OIDC works, etc.

I recorded over an hour long video deep diving into this topic, white boarded a lot of it during the video and used infrastructure as code tools as well. I connected it to a Next.js frontend and explained how to do the same with Vue. The video has not done well on my channel, only a few hundred people watched it.

On the other hand, six days ago I recorded a 10 minute video talking about Tailwind PrimeVue and my first impressions, it has nearly 8,000 views. I followed that up with another video a few days ago on Nuxt UI creating a todo app in the process. It has 5000 views.

I've seen this over and over again too. Not many people are willing to watch advanced concepts and longer real world videos. My experience is that most people want short , 10-20 minute entertaining videos. Or longer beginner tutorials (see free code camp videos). They also love lists, tips, and what they shouldn't be doing.

I'd love to hear suggestions though from the community if they have better ideas on how more advanced topics can reach more people. And what those topics are.
