I didn't think there's anything wrong with using a domino. Not every channel explains that you can use a dowel jig.
A real problem in DIY video is treating materials cost as the only cost to taking on a project. I've definitely seen at a bunch of them demonstrate doing a project in a way that requires a certain tool without explaining alternatives. I've seen many videos that get a job done for under 50 dollars because they have a full shop on hand.
Ahh, okay yeah I get it. Would be a lot better for beginners if they just said "I'm going to use a Domino, if you don't own one you can use a dowel jig. Here is a video explaining how to do it" and link to a dowel jig tutorial. Would probably be the best for new watchers and doesn't annoy the long term viewers who know how to use dowels
