Is EEVBlog worth it
<< < (18/44) > >>
Trader:
Just for "thinking outside the box"...

Dave's channel has 824k subscribers, average 41k views per day.

ElectroBOOM has 4.81M subs, average 250k views per day.

There are 100+ channels about electronics with 100k+ subs, I guess at least 1M people are interested in this topic.

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskElectronics/ = 335k
https://www.reddit.com/r/electronics/ = 250k
https://www.reddit.com/r/ElectricalEngineering/ = 150k
https://www.electronicspoint.com/forums/ = 54K
EEVblog = 51k

Maybe the OP has something to be considered, not only the (biased) eevblog members.

ops, sorry, I forgot how EE people use to be.

Actually I think EEVBlog has the lowest signal-to-noise ratio of any large internet forum I'm aware of.  I've gotten plenty of helpful advice here, and perhaps given a bit too.

Agreed, I don't think I've seen a more helpful, on topic, civilized, low noise forum than this one.

Wouldn't that be a *high* signal to noise ratio? Or is my brain just broken today?

*Edit: Just realized I'd skipped a page and someone already pointed this out.

There are many many repair threads that have been posted over the years (of which I've contributed quite a few). Some of the information and advice is very valuable to others trying to fix the same test equipment. I've gone back and looked at some of my test equipment repair/restoration threads and the number of picture views since I last posted in the thread really amaze me. Someone out there is looking at the information on this forum and hopefully is using it to their advantage.

Also some of the information as to how to restore and fix older equipment is very hard to find anywhere else.

I've certainly found it useful. More than once I've posted a thread like "Hey what is this part" after coming up empty in my search, and gotten a reply within 5 minutes pointing me to exactly what I needed.
eti:
With all respect to Electroboom, I find the whole “BANG! Ouch!” thing rather tedious and obvious. He’s a nice chappy, but I’m surprised Dave hasn’t soared into subs figures that high yet; to me this speaks of a generation which value being entertained more than being educated. No offence is intended to E/boom, he’s a great and knowledgeable engineer, and he’s playing to his crowd, it just ain’t my scene is all.
james_s:
I never liked Electroboom either. Nothing against the guy on a personal level but in his videos he acts like an idiot, even if it is just an act. It just doesn't resonate with me at all.
