More of an observation than commentary.

I've got a dozen items for sale/sold this week on Facebook, all early 1900 antiques that I'm practically giving away cause they need a lot of work (more than I want to do).

Every single person who's expressed interest or bought them has been a 20 or 30 something woman, every one of them peppering me with questions on how best to go about accomplishing the project they want to accomplish (which is laughable cause I'm more of a shoot from the hip kind of guy)

My suspicion is Pinterest/Instagram how-to videos which always leave out the 20 hours (minimum) of stripping/sanding/re-gluing/etc.
