I actually started making my own lures, especially soft plastics when I realized how poor the market selection really was. I wanted specific sizes and colors that companies/people just don't produce. It can be a cheap hobby or very expensive depending on your expectations. I created my own molds and formulas which saved me a ton of money. When you manufacture your own lures, it means you aren't throwing away money buying stuff from the stores. I see it as a long term investment that brings are very unique joy to myself and others.
Don't feel obligated to follow todays popular trends/videos because you really don't need anything fancy to make lures.
Hope that helps and feel free to PM me with questions.
