Hi there! This is a video that I made that I'm hoping can act as a beginner friendly entry level point to the world of self hosting and running a homelab. Just thought I'd share in case anyone is interested, and I hope it can be a resource to share with noobies. I don't claim to be an expert at all so I'd also love some feedback. Thanks!

You must be joking. The people who make any money producing online content are a very, very small minority.

And if people didn’t have to work 60 hour weeks to barely make enough to survive, we’d get a lot more creative content. All that would change is there wouldn’t be some talentless suit exploiting it.

You wouldn’t be getting any tv shows or movies. You’d be getting YouTube style stuff……like you do now.

People put shows and movies on YouTube already. You’re just not getting corporate backed media on there.

I’m not sure what role you believe capitalists have in creating media, but it’s clearly disproportionate.
