I personally disagree with the Wendover rec. Sure, they talk about logistics, but I find that they offer little to no new information that you couldn't glean from a cursory Google search. Sure it might not be something I knew about, and I might be interested in it every so often, but they clearly prioritize quantity of quality. Since they often cover random topics, I find myself questioning why I should even care.
- systemvoltage 5y agoIt's narrative porn - shallow but engaging. How do you test that? Just replace the narrator and the entire value of Wendover productions disappears. Other channels are pretty good though.
- scrollaway 5y agoI watch Wendover on mute with subtitles sometimes so clearly you're wrong. That the narration is good quality is a bonus. Calling it shallow and "one google search away" (parent) is absurd, his videos take weeks of research. It's okay not to like the channel but know your criticisms.
- TheRealNGenius 5y agoSpeaks volumes that you think it takes weeks of research.
- scrollaway 5y agoIt speaks volumes that you don't. The guy has a whole team dedicated to this. He released a behind the scenes about his process on Nebula. Oh let me guess, he's making this up for clicks too? And i could reimplement Dropbox in a weekend with curl and SFTP.
- loloquwowndueo 5y agoYou can’t watch videos on nebula without signing up - which makes you the product, just as you are on YouTube.
- TheRealNGenius 5y agoIt's okay not to like the comment but know your criticisms. Those were but my own opinions, but you seem to take things personally, as evidenced by your other replies in this thread. Between Wendover and HAI, they crank out content at a pace that hardly suggests "weeks of research". What's truly absurd is suggesting anything to the contrary.
