> take full advantage of the wealth of knowledge provided by the internet
Seems like a bit of a stretch in modern times. Do you have any idea what percentage of traffic is TikTok/YouTube/Facebook?
- llbbdd 4mo agoAll places laden with useful information.
- cactusplant7374 4mo agoThat the average person doesn't consume. Yes, that is true.
- snohobro 4mo agoI mean yeah, it’s a ton and totally a topic worth discussing on its own. Those aren’t the only options though. There is still plenty of available data out there for people to access and do practical and educational things with outside of purely entertainment. That’s a choice anyone accessing the internet has to make, and I was able to help give them that choice. Better to have a choice to learn and grow vs scroll than have no choice at all I’d say.
- CursedSilicon 4mo agoHi, I'm a Youtuber. I talk about computer history. Is my knowledge not valid just because I'm "on youtube" ?
- cactusplant7374 4mo agoWhere did I target you specifically?
- CursedSilicon 4mo agoWhen you derided people using it for youtube :)
- cactusplant7374 3mo agoThat's not specific enough. Sorry.
- bathtub365 4mo agoYouTube has excellent creators for almost any topic you can think of and for almost any video style you can think of
- cactusplant7374 4mo agoThe average person isn't interested in that. They watch funny videos. We are talking about the average person here -- not HN commenters.
- snayan 4mo agoAhh yes, the ole throw the baby out with the bathwater retort.
- cactusplant7374 4mo agoAh yes, a snarky comment of no substance. Thank you.
- snayan 4mo agoYou're welcome!
