there are three genres of youtube video in total, and you can identify them very easily
information: you can't see the mic because it's built into the camera
entertainment: you can't see the mic because the creator carefully hid it
shitposting: you can see the mic because the creator is holding it
I do see a ton of Chonky Black Square With Blinking Light wireless clipped onto some very visible part of themself, too. I think that's mostly "information, but now with audio you can mostly understand"
I was about to give Answer In Progress as a counterexample but Sabrina is in fact usually holding the mic on camera when she's in her shitposting era in front of the projector
There's this one marvelous shitpost I can't seem to find of some kid doing a new vegas faction analysis holding one of those pin on mics while going on a thrill ride
