Sometimes I get tired of people publishing clickbait videos to hustle ad revenue.

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/watch?v=a2YZ9GwSkxI
Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source, check me out at GitHub.
Also available on peertube which is better still.
Yup a lot of the stuff he says, is true. Especially the vocal Gatekeeper minority and the problems with hardware support.
can anyone recommend a decent, non-clickbaity youtube channel for linux news and other relevant videos?
Literally the guy linked in this post, The Linux Experiment, is the best for open source news imo
He’s decent enough to follow, but honestly his content is kinda mediocre. It’s mostly reading off news of off aggregators, distro reviews (I don’t really distrohop…), opinion pieces, and very surface level UI UX stuff (which is what he’s passionate about, after all), mixed with the usual tuber tropes like padded top X lists, clickbaity titles and the like.
I don’t even mind the clickbait, as a positive example I find NetworkChuckCoffee’s videos interesting for example, despite having all the tropes. Much more of a “get shit done, learn things” type of approach, enough to dip your toes in any given concept, so then you can go off and understand it, learn it and add it to your toolbelt. Useful.

Well what else do you expect from Linux News. Also his channel is based on the accessibility of Linux, if you don’t like that, maybe DistroTube is your thing, not really news focused, but definitely more hardcore Linux.

Hard disagree there, I don’t think his videos are clickbaity at all. His titles and thumbnails perfectly describe the content of the video
Distrotube has no journalistic integrity. I want to like him, but he is so willing to ignore the facts for his spin on things I refuse to watch him anymore.
I don’t think that makes his content mediocre, it’s just not what you want.
@DoctorZook@lemmy.world seems to disagree lol
I’ve grown to really dislike Nic’s videos lately. Aside from promos that take up 1/3 of the video, a lot of the opinions and recommendations are completely baseless. It’s practically equivalent to the Verge making tech posts, except the person has no experience with it whatsoever.
The one that put it over the edge for me recently was the distribution tierlist, which recommended a lot of stuff criminally broken stuff as beginner friendly, purely by what color the DE was
mate cmon youre not a kid, dont expect all videos to be of your interest.
@fugepe Because it works perfectly without bells and rings ❤️
