I will say, YouTube killed my nephew’s interest in programming and tinkering. He started out with all sorts of interests and teaching himself how to code. Now he just watches YouTube and TikTok like all the other sheep and does nothing interesting.
- ffhhj 4y agoI optimized my life to build projects, and I avoid youtube and tutorials unless I can't really guess how to achieve something. Tutorials, and especially video tutorials that are less easy to quickly examine just deplede your "creativity moment". Why make something if someone already did? The goal that was "magical and special" for me is now a consumerism's image in the Desert of the Real.
- sam0x17 4y agoI get so annoyed these days when I google "how to X" and the top 20 results are youtube videos like I don't want to make noise or put headphones on sheesh.
- rnd0 4y agoI get angry because they're largely bullshit filler to begin with, and even that aside I can skim a lot faster than I can read. They're an intentional waste of my time soley for the sake of draining my wallet. The placement of videos over text tutorials is a literal scam, and I resent it strongly.
