I dunno, it just seems so sad that the vast majority of the universe seems FAR more interested in watching cats playing piano on youtube than watching tech/learning videos. 99.999% of popular youtube content is entertainment. Music videos, watching people play video games, people doing goofy stuff, etc. That's, by far, what sells. I'm so thankful for folks like Dave and others who have been successful at hanging in there and surviving while producing REAL tech content for those who appreciate it. But I see so many others who either drop out because they get zero revenue after working so hard, or they end up catering to the "OOO, shiny hardware with flashing lights" crowd and other non-tech entertainment just to get views and revenue. My only suggestion for those who enjoy this free tech content: do yourself and everyone a favor and support these channels, even if it's just hitting "like" and subscribing. We're not entitled to this stuff in any way, and it's pretty much the only segment of the universe where you can get so much for free. So are things as dreary as they seem in the tech world, or does anyone know of a light at the end of the tunnel? I've been doing this electrical engineering thing for over 45 years, and I hate to be that guy who says "geez, when I was young it was so different", but geez, when I was young.... :D |

Yeah it is, but look at most of what cable TV is, watching the Karcrashians do mundane shit or that tripe called "Love Island". Load of balls. Nothing new, not that I like or condone the situation. Instead I'm glad that there are plenty of channels putting out good content for free and regularly so. I don't subscribe to the shite, I subscribe to the good stuff and learn something every single day thanks to the generosity of these high quality channels. |
