    This is how I got introduced to this and it made me realise some things. If people have better materials then they should share them instead and not reject the topic completely. Especially on a niche community that hasn’t seen any posts in over 2 months.

      You must have watched the whole video before judging its value of sharing here. You could summarize it.

        I’ve watched this video myself. There are several topics that all go fairly in-depth. Summarizing the video would be a non-trivial amount of effort and would likely diminish the point the author is trying to make, because it would lose the depth and nuance of the original.

        I’m also struggling to understand the animosity towards a video being posted. Is it YouTube specifically, or the fact that it’s a long-form video? Video media has been a communication standard for decades. There are FOSS frontends for YouTube that could alternatively be used if you wish to stay away from Google’s ecosystem.

        Tl;dr: I don’t think it’s reasonable to ask OP to summarize a 40 minute video that would greatly water down the original content.

          Fair enough.

          For me, it’s both. I’m on here for a good time, not a long time. I have my own long-form content and I don’t use YouTube.

          To be clear, I didn’t downvote the post. I came to see any discussion bc I didn’t have time/inclination to watch.

          I will downvote any comment complaining about downvotes though.
