I really appreciate the people who distill these highly technical academic papers into more approachable and digestible formats because I really don’t have time or energy to dive into academic papers most of the time. It’s just not practical to spend the time needed to digest a really dense and dry analysis of a concept. It’s great that they exist, but I’m not the target audience.
I recently needed to visually represent a graph and came across a YouTube video detailing the Sugiyama framework. The academic papers around this are super math-heavy, which didn’t really help me. The YouTube series gave me exactly what I needed, succinct explanations of how to solve my problem without lecturing about theory.
EDIT: Shoutout to Phillip Kindermann, who made the video I was talking about, and to all who take their expertise and make it more accessible. Those are the people doing some of the most important work with regards to knowledge sharing
