What are the Youtube content creators you prefer NOT to ever watch/listen to?
A reason as to why would be … Well, yanno … interesting. You be the judge
I’ll go first -
I used to enjoy Chris Titus, a year ago I basically said I had enough. I dunno - he’s a smart guy and all but for whatever reason, I just could not watch anymore videos.
Luke Smith: Love this guy but, I get dizzy listening to him. I want to grab him and say, Dude… deep breath. Maybe that’s changed in the last 6 months but, whatever. (see what I did there wink)
I don’t watch any YT videos, can’t stand them. Who has the patience to watch through that shit, really? A page full of nicely formatted text I can scan through in a few seconds is so much better IMO.
Oh yeah, good point. I have used YT for ThinkPad disassembly guides. The official service manuals are good but videos are clearer on that particular task.
Agreed, I used to think quite highly of him until I read one of his smug, arrogant blog posts about how he considers people who swear as below a level of intelligence that he will interact with.
I thought, he sounded like a complete tool saying that.
I used to watch DistroTube/Derek, and some others…but mostly when I started using Linux, after a while I lost the patience, my time became too precious to spend too much of it on yt. I still check some of Mental Outlaw’s videos…
Erik the Teacherman. I’ll admit: when I restarted in Linux 4 years ago I ended up in Arco and did learn and try out a lot. Kudos for that. It was before the Calamares with 716 choices. When I ended up with a minimal Plasma install with 4 terminals (urxvt, termite, konsole and yakuake) it was time to say goodbye to the Learning Experience and get rid of the fluff.
Any obnoxious asshole who pretends a lot but doesn’t know shit. That role is already taken up by me. Most YT’ers just echo-chamber the release notes and don’t really try to have their own opinion.
That’s the 1% out of 100.
