"It is not a matter of them being professionals, because the moment you
gave one of those professionals a camera, computer, and internet
connection and told them to go make an extremely compelling vlog
alone, it would end up being just like (if not worse) than ours."
That's a very tall claim, and insulting to the professionals who give us beautiful things to watch. There are a lot of people out there who know a lot more about visual storytelling, camera angles, lighting, etc. than I do. Professional equipment is only part of the story. I'm sure that Ken Burns could take the footage of my interview with my dad and make something a lot more compelling out of it (not to mention that he would have gotten a better interview to begin with), even using the same lousy camera and cheap editing software that I did.
That doesn't bother me - if anything, it gives me something to strive for, and I'm enjoying learning. But I don't kid myself that I will ever get or even deserve a Ken Burns type of audience.
