Stackexchange is useful for "which button do I use to floggle the widgeon in ObscureApp v1.3.2?" type questions. Or where a technician wants to copy and paste code into their application, without understanding it.

Oh, I'm not snobby about technicians! I was intending to be snarky about the "technicians" that merely copy-paste code but call themselves "software engineers" or "programmers". I probably didn't make that clear enough.

Both technicians and engineers are vital, but they perform different functions - just like doctors and nurses. If I want a disease diagnosed and treatment prescribed, I need a doctor. OTOH if I want a needle inserted or leg plastered, I need a nurse. Vive la difference!

The "rating" & placing answers "in order of relevance", mostly reveals the lack of knowledge of the question subject matter on the part of the moderator doing what is basically censorship.

I've never stayed there longer than to copy-paste a solution :) That means I haven't noticed censorship. The poor quality of the questions and answers is apparent.

There is nothing that those two individuals say about how to blink an LED on the Arduino. Therefore, your knowledge is worthless.

Mazo:
Started watching the youtube channel when I was 15-16,after just a few videos I binge watched all the videos,that Dave had uploaded,and anxiously waited for new ones.I HAVE a very clear memory how I learned how an opamp "works" from Dave's Video Op-amp Basics(or whatever it is called) and because I got really interested in electronics design,bought and read alot of books and watched a lot of other videos ofcourse,while reading the forum everyday without actually searching for something,just reading and learning from the old farts.

Long story short 8years later I still read the forum everyday,sadly I rarely watch the videos anymore(sorry Dave  :-\ )
The result:Finished university as an EE,it is my hobby and profession(almost 4years of experience),and I already have a lot of projects behind my back,and I can confidently say that the difference in technical knowledge between me and almost every collegue,who hasn't/doesn't spend that much time and energy in reading and watching videos on electronic's topics is obvious.

Is EEVBlog(the videos part,not the forum) worth it for me now?Probably not really,as I barely watch 1-2 videos per year.
Was it worth it for my personal development-immensely.
The forum is still the best electronics "pub",I have found on the 'net,so nothing to discuss here.

Pretty sob and cliche story,just wanted to share,so people here can see that while they are just chatting,there might be doing what formal education isn't.

strawberry:
daves videos like bypass capacitor video tutorials are great. but current source/mirror circuit missing proof/measurement like bandwidth/spectrum and impedance is a bit disappointing especially seeing fantastic equipment some vblogers acquired.
it is easier to imagine how circuits would behave in real world.

You're joking, right?
