Better work with the cabling, perhaps. In this picture you can see that there’s a new work box in the drywall so he’s running hidden cables. There could be drywall patching or he’s really good at making the holes so there doesn’t need to be patching.
He could do more types of mounts than this guy is used to.
He could be faster.
Is that you’re completely unimaginative so you can’t come up with ways someone might be better or do you have so little respect for trades that you think there can’t be skill involved?
Before this thread, I thought “mounting a tv” just meant nailing the support into the wall and screwing the tv into the support. I chose to read their comment as being incredulous about a random post on the internet, which is entirely reasonable. It would be easy enough to lash out at random people on the internet but I figured I’d try to be positive on a post about positivity lol
Like someone shares a photo their desk and their setup is so slick. Or someone shows off their kitchen. Those are things I like a lot and want to improve. So rather than scroll past, or leave a hater response, I ask questions to pick up what they’re dropping. You can try that.
That doesn’t address the quality of hanging a TV. The things you mentioned are superficial. Being good at hanging a TV is structural. The only way one would know if another was good or bad at it is if the TV eventually fell off the wall or was loose, which one could not see from a FB post.

I definitely have friends who I know are a lot better at this kind of stuff than I am (mostly because they get less anxious over what happens if they screw up but…). I have never seen a difference once the tv is mounted because… you can’t see the fricking mount once the TV is mounted.
I dunno. I also kind of have problems with the underlying premise too. Yes, toxic masculinity is a massive problem and people very much do not realize how few “male role models” there are for kids who aren’t bald human traffickers and the people who sniff their chairs. But “Hey dude, I see you are a super masculine strong man with a bubble level” is not the answer.
The answer is to teach kids they don’t NEED role models that fit the same gender roles they do (or, more often, their parents think they should). An athlete is an athlete and a smart person is a smart person. Same with being “handy”. This is a lesson girls/“girls” were forced to learn long ago and is one boys/“boys” would benefit from. Because then you don’t need to say “Well, I like what this person is saying but they have the wrong genitalia and aren’t muscular enough”.
Who notices that someone is better at mounting tvs? How does one notice this? What is this made up scenario?

Why the hostility? I would’ve asked this question if they hadn’t, and I don’t consider myself unimaginative or disrespectful. Just uninformed…
Do you honestly think someone asking, “What is this made up scenario?” is asking their question in good faith?

I see it all the time.

It probably has to do with routing cables through the wall more than anything

That’s another lemmy instance.
Knew that part but figured it was an article based on the link. Apparently just a picture of a facebook post.
So… no idea what that facebook post was trying to sell but I guess this is why all that AI nonsense is spammed endlessly on that site.
Why would you hate on that guy.
Internet: omg, so wholesome!
Yeah this is a weird one for sure. I hate to be a “nothing ever happens” person but this one didn’t happen like the caption says it did.
Just because you don’t do something doesn’t mean nobody does. Maybe don’t assume something is made up just because you’re unfamiliar with it.
“okay, the camera is rolling, now whip out your dong and fuck that TV like it’s your mother’s sister!”
15 seconds later
“damn, how do you even… in the hdmi… it comes back out of the coax?! could you teach me how to do that?”
and from that day forward, it was a duo of TV mounters
DIY groups
You are on lemmy. This things get shared here. Same is true for every other social media.
And why would anyone hate on someone for being good at mounting a TV?
You don’t post videos of your TV mounting skills on Fb??
Presumably somebody that mounts TVs for a living.
