The problem with desperate monetization stunts like this video is that they rarely have any relevant content to show, and they are a formulaic output of mixing clickbait titles with 15min of inane fluff.
But that's not true for all channels. I quite like this one, and when I like the content, I'm a little less harsh about the clickbait because I understand that it may be required to make meaningful money on YouTube.
You are right, but: Medium, Substack, Patreon, Kofi. Being a writer/blogger was a death sentence 10 years ago but the avenues for doing it are growing again.
I actually agree, I much prefer articles. However, I found this interesting since it looked at turbopack, parcel, rspack and others and talked about how it comes that the JavaScript ecosystem seems to start to use a lot of rust for their tooling. It was quite long though...
