It's not reporting on a technology. DIYPerks is a channel about cool projects he does. He shows the build process and explains everything and usually provides plans to follow along
i.e. he is reporting about a technology. Again, if the only media reporting about a new technology is a video then that thing is significantly more likely to be bullshit
I hoped people on Lemmy would be less obtuse than Reddit but oh well
Yes, you're really the one here contributing to the topical discussion 🙄
He is not reporting. What's there not to get? It's not a news outlet. He just says "I found this neat thing and will now build some insane project around it". I'm sure if you actually went to look, you would find other sources that talk about the technology in detail and probably did so before he made his video
That's literally what reporting means. You don't have to be a news outlet to do a report.

Be as pedantic as you want, but "reporting" is coloquially used to describe news. This is more akin to a blog
I'm not being pedantic, you just don't know what the word means.
