That's a fair point, but I've already seen what one uninformed, idiotic YouTuber (LTT) is capable of achieving by closing his eyes, putting his fingers in his ears, stamping his feet, and whipping his equally uninformed followers into a frenzy over an issue that was almost entirely his own fault. I fully expect such events to continue as Linux gains popularity.
LTT is an idiot, what he did was the equivalent of demanding his new car could use spare parts from the old one. If not the new car is at fault.
I have blocked all his channels, because he is also corrupt. And his channel is hidden advertising in more cases than not, making it de facto illegal. He also ignore or give bad press to products from companies that don't pay him enough.
What are some good YouTubers instead? I just stopped watching LTT cause I realized I wasn't learning anything
In my experience, YouTube is almost universally shit for anything to do with software. I've stopped bothering trying to find any software YouTubers and rely on blogs instead.
