Is EEVBlog worth it
EEVblog:
--- Quote from: Trader on November 17, 2021, 07:28:10 pm ---EEVblog is a RELIGION, just check how many people gave Thanks for the langwadt's post "you can leave anytime you want" > "The following users thanked this post: TheBay, joeqsmith, Ian.M, rstofer, MasterTech, pqass, alexnoot" and soon will be more people, LOL.
There are a lot of fanatic and egocentric people here that love to show how smart they are, but this is just the Real World, and if you check other big forums, like the "diyAudio", is the same, EE people are not so friendly, neither humble.

Maybe everyone here just likes the forum, is proud of their contributions, like helping people out and having technical discussions, and don't take kindly when people disparage all this.

If the OP really decides to leave, I might actually miss him. I went through his posting history and it looked like there could be some things for me worth learning.

Bit like someone else we all remember. Top notch posts, sure. Just cannot seem to play nicely in the sandpit.
It's the irony of personal attack that gets me.

True, but it's not as simple as that.
Views are nice, but it's not about the money. Almost none of my videos make it worth the time to actually make them in the first place. I do the more beginner oriented videos because I want to do them, I like to do them, I get satisfaction from the feedback I get from hobbyists and students and knowing that I'm helping people get into the hobby or field in an understanble manner that hopefully doesn't turn them off.
I would not get those things from making advanced level theoretical videos. If you want that, MIT have their entire course available on their Youtube channel for free, I recommend you go watch them instead of my channel.

A lot of the dry academic lectures bore me to tears. I like a lot of the basic tutorials, I find that even in areas where I have a fair amount of experience there are still some gaps in my knowledge and I end up learning something new.
