Whadya wanna know? That they universally know absolutely nothing about how archery works and will make impossible demands, generally making your life miserable and have you questioning why you ever wanted to do this in the first place? Oh, and there is a better than even chance that they will never pay you.

Marc St Louis:
I did make an Ojibwa bow with some arrows for a museum out in Alberta a few years ago that was used in a short video

Eric Krewson:
I had my granddaughter shoot a tillering gizmo how to video to put on youtube, it was OK but my performance was kinda' stiff.

I posted it on my youtube channel, it got a good response.

Later I was trying to help a flintlock gun builder who did the worst work I had ever seen, everything he made was really slopped together with huge inletting gaps and crooked lines. When I suggested he might make a pattern on his stock blank before he started hacking away wood freehand, he got a little testy and questioned my gun building ability.

I was building a American fowler with English influence, I had just finished the lock panel and wrist shaping so I posted a 30 second video of my building progress.  When the guy saw my work he changed his tune about my shortcomings and was very apologetic.

You tube had a purge of anything not monetized the mentioned guns and canceled my channel for "violating their guidelines". My repeated attempts to find why they erased my videos were met with silence.
