From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

For the uninitiated, who's Mark Rober?
LDS former NASA engineer that makes silly devices and gadgets. Some interesting videos, though he's big into the clickbait game. Seems at least relatively sincere in his push for encouraging interest in STEM with children, though he can be a bit "flash over substance" for my tastes. But he is better then a lot of others I've seen in that regard.
Don't hate the player, hate the game.
Smarter Every Day did a video on using clickbait titles and thumbnails. The data is clear: everyone complains about it, but it performs far better than anything else on YT. And if the goal is to most efficiently spread educational videos to the largest number of people, then unfortunately, it's really the only option.
TBH, the tone isn't that different from Bill Nye. Wacky colors, loud obnoxious personality, gotta get kids excited about science somehow.
DeArrow replaces clickbait thumbnails and title with croudsourced title and frame of the video
Yeah, unfortunately I never use yt from a browser, and grayjay doesn't have dearrow support afaik.
