While this makes sense, there is a certain, unspoken, responsibility when making these types of tutorials. At least, to give the viewers as much info and as many options as possible.
You're using logic, yes, but the masses aren't going to know any better. Plus, kids probably watch these videos. 'Tough' is the easy thing to say.
The point of this thread is that info should be mentioned amongst all the 'excitement' of slapping some Pokemon game on the Switch via HBL. It's not some type of debate, but a simple courtesy for the viewers that trust these YouTubers.
It just makes the preachy stance of shaming people for not prioritizing backups seem less than justified. It's like the stance of a seriously bored person with nothing meaningful to do at all.
I gotta go with the OP on this one. Nand backup should always be the first thing you do. Period. Mic drop
Say what you want about your favorite Youtuber, but Youtubers don't know shit when it comes to any console-wise modification, at all.
Some them honestly try. There's just too many changes to keep making new videos. That's why I never made any for my guides. It's enough work keeping up with the changes in text form.
A little sticky on the video to correct such changes would be well appreciated, which some never do.
I have never bricked a console following a Youtube video but that's because I don't, but if I did I would appreciate some kind of ''in your face'' info before starting, like warning the user of another Youtube video of the same Youtuber with a much less complicated procedure.
i think it’s better just to not video guides in general as stuff can develop and evolve so rapidly sometimes. never wanna use outdated stuff if you don’t have to

It's generally very unlikely to brick a switch when using hbl only, so no real reason to tell people to make a NAND backup yet. That obviously does not apply for youtubers that show how to install and use linux etc.
Never undestood this.
You literally have to read the title or see the date. Like, if it says "Hack for 4.0.1" or something like that, you know is outdated.
When i hacked my friend's Wii U i knew i didnt have to look for old guides and search for the current firmware version. Its common sense.
I think youtube videos are great for noobs like i was at the time. Not being a dumb person and look for the latest guide is just logic.
Will i able to dump my switch nand in a hardrive in future. I only have a 8 gb micro sd card

You can dump it now, it will split the dumps up into smaller chunks.
When i first tried to dump the nand it was stuck on 27% it had created 4 2gb file
Some guy bricked his switch (sidenote: it matched his keyboard at least) and it gave him a purple screen. He didn't backup. Here's the thread:https://gbatemp.net/threads/permanent-violet-screen-on-switch.503909/
As you can see if you need to restore the nand ther are already tools among the users that they sure help you out in case you need it , even the first brick of the end user of the forum was able to recover without a backup

Well, from what I've heard from my parents, he had a seizure last night, perhaps an epileptic episode, fucking died, had a near death experience, my dad called the paramedics, they showed up, took him to the hospital, and he woke up covered in tubes, and started complaining. -
