With the Internet and YouTube I don’t think it’s as much of a lemon market as it once was. The information is out there, pretty accessible actually. For example it’s not hard to find that Master and Kwikset might not be the highest security compared to other options. The problem isn’t that the information is hard to find, it’s just that most people aren’t willing to spend more for higher security (could be a few hundred dollars more once you multiply it by a few doors) and it’s easy to convince yourself cheap locks are “good enough” - after all, someone could break a window, kick in the door, etc.

Just because information is out there and accessible doesn’t mean it has much mainstream penetration. Locks are a very niche hobby. Most of my friends and family don’t know shit about locks any more than 30 years ago even though the technology is clearly documented and explained on YouTube.

YouTube has made pretty much everything widely accessible. Doesn’t necessarily change the market.
