In this article: 5000 words about "what is programming". Then, waaay down at the bottom, the actual list of YouTube channels. Seriously, this is worse than those recipes where you have to get through three anecdotes about cooking with grandma.

Yeah, this article oozes of "we need to create content that gets eyeballs and backlinks to market our website/product", which unfortunately is all too common these days. Next time someone tries to find youtube channels for programming, they will end up on this list, rather than finding some real recommendations by real persons. The "author" of this article is even "Team Codegiant", it's a red flag when no real person wants to put their name on content. Which is especially funny since throughout the article the author refers to themselves in first person. Edit: and check out the submitter's post history. 15 submissions - all for codegiant.io: https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=spiderjako22 https://news.ycombinator.com/submitted?id=spiderjako22

  Team is used when the company takes credit for the work of the individual. But yeah seems like an SEO grab. Would love if Google changed their algorithm just to screw all these companies who have the resources to dedicate to SEO perfection.

I came to point out the same thing. Is it just to make it look long? Or is to appeal Google/Medium algorithms?

I was just watching an old YouTube video of a couple guys throwing a giant rock off a bridge into a river in a remote part of the U.S with no one around. It was 20 seconds long. If it were produced in 2020, you'd have 10 minutes of useless preamble including discussion about how hyped they are to throw a rock, how difficult it is to carry a rock, fake drama about being followed by non-existent security, a drone shot of the environment, how awesome it was to throw a rock, and random memes. Use my promo code ROCKMAN to post your first job free on ZipRecruiter and hire your own rock thrower, and don't forget to Like this video to smash that Subscribe button!

  That's all thanks to the Youtube algorithm.

    YouTube started as a place for anyone to post videos. But it quickly became a place for people to build a business posting videos. The algorithm makes it hard to find the videos without the cruft but I imagine they are uploaded by the millions.

      No you can get additional monetization options for 10min or longer videos, they incentivize the padding. https://www.quora.com/How-does-making-a-10-minute-video-on-YouTube-earn-you-more-money-than-making-a-shorter-video https://www.quora.com/How-does-making-a-10-minute-video-on-Y...

  Hey, what's up everyone, it's your man Todd. I'm back with another video and, today, we're gonna throw a giant rock off this bridge! But first, a word from our sponsor. Now, I don't play games very much, but I've been playing Raid: Shadow Legends and I can't get enough! It's got all sorts of shit that other games have, but Plarium let me play Raid: Shadow Legends for free. Boo yah! Trust me, you won't want to leave your mom's basement again once you've played Raid: Shadow Legends. Use my exclusive code right now to get 3% off and a free wrist brace for carpal tunnel. OK guys, so I'm gonna tell you a story about how I've been throwing rocks off this bridge for years. You see, my ol' grandpappy showed me how to throw rocks into the river when I was 10, and he told me "Boy, life's a lot like these rocks. It goes up and up, and one day you find it plunging straight into an icy river of death." And that just really inspired me, y'know? Rest in peace, ol' man. I love ya! Hey Frank, did your grandpa ever teach you to throw rocks into a river? 3 minutes later at a convenience store Sorry, we can't film in here? We just wanted to buy some snacks. Yo, we're just a youtube channel, alright? It's not cool? Okay, fine, we'll turn it off. You coulda just been cool about it, jeez. 8 minutes of nonsense later (couple walks by) How y'all doin'? Oh, we're just having some good wholesome fun here, throwing rocks into the river. Oh shit, I hope we don't see Officer Bradley around here again. The last time we throw a rock off the bridge he was like "You darn kids" and I was like "Whoa, bro, chill!" 3 minutes later Alright, here goes nothin'! (throws giant rock off bridge) Guys, this was incredible! That's actually one of the BIGGEST rocks we've ever thrown in here! Unbelievable, dude. Oh. My god. WOOOOOOOOOOOO! Another 3 minutes of bro'ing around So guys, if you want to see what happened after we threw that rock into the river, stay tuned for my "Tossing a Rock into the River AFTERMATH" video. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe! Also, don't forget to hit the bell icon and select "All".

Every time I cook and look up a recipe for the ingredients I have on hand my whole family has to listen to me rant and rave about this phenomenon. I clicked through the link above, scrolled and scrolled, figured out I had been duped, and gave up to come back here for the comments to commiserate.
