The deal is that he is a comedian first but also gives advice that is often superficial but serious enough so there is some value to it for beginner developers. It’s both satire and seemingly genuine encouragement.
Most importantly he seems to be very good at YouTube marketing. Apparently many have watched his videos, even in this crowd, which means he knows how to attract views.
My intuition is that this is a stunt, but there is a non zero chance that he is in over his head.
- liaukovv 5y agoThat's what makes it funny. If there was no ambiguity then it would be just really boring channel.
- 3grdlurker 5y agoI mean, if people acknowledge that there’s ambiguity then how can others argue with absolute certainty that he’s just being satirical?
- liaukovv 5y agoThere is ambiguity the same way there is danger in roller coaster: just enough to make it interesting, but not enough to fool anybody.

- corobo 5y ago> very good at YouTube marketing Cram the videos with how to be rich keywords and then provide just enough content people still watch the video Now you're good at YouTube marketing too
- imtringued 5y agoIt started out as a stunt. When he realized there is real money to be made he probably changed his opinion.
