Why this one

Stuff Made Here — Shane Wighton's engineering channel — typically draws around 4 to 5 million views per video: a loyal audience of people who enjoy watching an impossibly skilled person build things that shouldn't work. The basketball hoop that adjusts in real time to redirect any shot into the net drew 28 million. The mechanism is shareable demonstration: it does not require any knowledge of machining, robotics, or control systems to watch a missed shot redirect itself and drop through the rim. Every person who had ever touched a basketball or embarrassed themselves on a court understood the concept in three seconds, and then sent it to someone they'd beaten. The outlier ratio is roughly 6× — the platform's reward for building something that explains itself to everyone.
