Wow, thanks for calling me stupid man, really appreciate it. Lemme know when/if you’re interested in having a civil conversation instead of spewing insults every other sentence.

And then asking the janitor why they’re a janitor instead of a cook. Like, if you don’t like videos that’s fine, but what is the point of commenting on one saying “god I hate videos.”
It’s especially funny that they said that everyone defaults to videos when, at least with Linux related stuff, thats definitely not the case. This guy is one of the few not terrible Linux content creators, there really aren’t many Linux dedicated content creators to begin with, so what’s the harm of this? Go read the arch wiki or a blog if that’s what you prefer, but don’t needlessly shit on a different format that others may prefer or enjoy.
Also believe his (proprietary) software would brick switches if it detected other software, though don’t quote me on that.
Yeah and neither is paint.net
I’m a Linux nerd and even I don’t get this 😭
Honestly, I agree with you with that. YouTube pays creators a lot, technically we shouldn’t be removed about the presence ads, because it’s how they stay afloat, that’s just how it works. My main issue is the sheer amount of them nowadays. I used to gladly watch the ads, but it went from one or two before and after each video, to heaps of midrolls every couple minutes. It’s not the ads that annoy me, it’s the amount of them, which is the reason I use an ad blocker (which tbh applies to most of the Internet nowadays)
100%. I get where he’s coming from, but making it seem like this is all a conspiracy by marketers is just ridiculous. If you prefer text, that’s fine! But no one is going into the arch wiki and spamming about how they should ditch it for video. Different things appeal to different people, and writing off an entire format just because Google has enshittified YouTube is just dumb.
