>>108192653
Don't watch him, but that's pretty much what the nightly news does.
>>
He was a heavy drug addict. Cut him some slack.
>>
never heard of this guy and i'm a heavy youtube user. thank god
but yes making money on dumbasses is the easiest grift
>>
>>108192653
Many such cases.
>>
>>108192653
His channel gets pushed by the algorithm to a crazy extent for some reason. I watched 1 video of his recently and suddenly i was getting suggested video after video even while clicking on "don't reccoment this channel".
>>
>>108192686
>suggested video after video even while clicking on "don't reccoment this channel"
youtube don't recommend and don't show me buttons are cosmetic. they don't actually do anything, it's a noop
>>
>>108192708
But why though? I'm clicking that button because I'm getting reccomended so much garbage I'm not interested on that I'm consuming less content than I wanted. Youtube is litterally losing money by shoving the same videos over and over that I'm not going to watch instead of showing actual new content.
I swear youtube wasn't this bad at suggestions 5 or 10 years ago. I used to be able to always find a video to watch in less than a minute.
>>
>>108192736
idk if they're losing money, you spend more time on the website searching for something worthwhile to watch so some engagement metric goes up (by you wasting your time) and some google product manager gets a promotion for it
>>
If you don't use YouTube in a way to check in with stuff you know is decent, you are using YouTube wrong.

You only search for certain channels/go to your subs and go to the content creators you enjoy and know are good at what they do and that's it.

No aimless brain-dead entertainment.
>>
>>108192653
Is this guy basically doctor disrespect?
>>
>>108192670
He acts like he's off his ADHD medication. He just doesn't relax.

This button has always been a placebo and expires after 363 days but it has straight up been broken for about 7 weeks. I guarantee it has something to do with the SPA architecture. All SPA websites are broken pieces of shit.

my friend who watches fireship and doesn't know how to program but uses claude
he's for nocoders i think
>>
>>108192653
He doesn't really bother me that much. Most of his content sucks, but he just does what makes money. I don't like his hyper active alt tab vim motion style like every other wannabe hackerman does. His core audience is most definitely Rust fizzbuzzers.
>>
>>108192653
Whiny fucking voice, I can't listen to him for more than 30 seconds before I start to get a headache. Same with that troon Laurie wired.

I thought fireship was good
>>
>>108193670
fireship is 50-50 some of his videos are good and the others are slop
>>
>>108192653
God, this guy's videos are pure brainrot slop, I opened one of his videos once and it's him reacting to a video of another guy reacting to a video all while there's live chat going on
I'm genuinely horrified at the state of modern youtube
>>
>>108192653
Most people who try youtube don't make it. He's an outlier. I've seen youtube channels with hundreds of views that had higher production quality and better content than the top 1000 channels. And they never went anywhere. It doesn't matter what you do or put out, if you get 0 exposure, no one is going to watch you and you're never going to get popular. On shit websites like youtube, good content doesn't matter, everything relies on RNG and dogshit algorithms that promote what's already popular.

idk if you see what other slop gets pushed on that site, but reading hackernews articles gets a lot closer to being productive than almost all of it

But he used to work at Netflix (by the way).

Nigga how slow does your brain work? I'm ESL and have never needed to slow any english speaking video down. English is not a specially fast language.
>>
>>108196727
I do 2 or 3 other things while watching videos, normally it's fine until I put on a video from some adhd ridden retard.
>>
He's a grifter. He used to hate on LLMs but then got sponsored by cursor and now he gobbles the LLM slop up like the good goy he is.
>>
>>108197254
The funniest thig was when he said that if you know Vim you have nothing to fear from LLMs.

Doesn't matter. Google sells to advertisers based on "engagement", so as long as they have that they can sell to their real customers. The entire internet advertising industry is fraud all the way down and this has been pointed out multiple times, but as long as Google/Facebook keep jingling the promise of money the retard advertisers will keep lining up.

All of it is fake and it doesn't matter because the people making the decisions belive

I stopped watching him a couple years ago when I realized that he never adds his own opinion to the articles/blogs he read. Kind of suspicious, then I checked his streams to find coding and he had one where he couldn't finish a single for loop, every time he got back to it he kept opening other code files and talking nonsense. IMHO he is just an actor who pretends to be a programming guru, I doubt that he even worked at netflix.
>>
>>108197340
Not really a field you can act in. You can be a bad programmer and act like a good one, but you can't be clueless - not with the stuff he comments on.
It's just youtube slop. Slop is what pays, slop is was draws in the viewership and engagement from fizzbuzzers, so that's what he does.
>>
>>108192653
Never seen him code, but I feel like he is just average compared to a guru his videos try to make him be. Most annoying thing about him is the shrill voice
>>
>>108192917
Theo is the most annoying faggot on tech youtube. Plus his videos are a lot more arrogant than who he actually is - which is a Typescript web dev.
>>
>>108197382
PirateSoftware is a hack that fooled normalfags into thinking he's some elite hacker programmer. Sure Primacuck is more competent than him but he is still a hack webshitter. Oh and btw he is friends with the ferretfucker.
>>
>>108192794
>ADHD
He's millenial americattle so that's pretty much a given
>>
>>108197430
pirate software is too arrogant to ask chatgpt "what's the best way to do X" off stream
>>
>>108197430
Yeah, but was pirate was talking to retarded gaymers about literal fizzbuzz tier shit or config files.
Prime actually has takes on things that you can't just fake, he's definitely a professional webshitter at some point, but there's 50 million of those in the world, so it's not really saying anything.
>>
>>108197441
Why are zoomcucks projecting adhd onto millennials now?

He has a beautiful wife that brings him food and he thanks her. It makes him more successful than 99% of people here.
>>
the shitagen is passable, at least he's not ferret fucker software or ai wrapper 3gg.
>>
I can’t hate the guy for his struggles with meth or whatever, but his type of slop content is insufferable.

One time I opened a video and the article could be read in 3 minutes. The video of him discussing it was 1 hour or some shit. Constant distractions from chat. It’s absolute zoomer hell on earth. Zero value! Such channels should be nuked.
>>
I think it's more being an online friend simulator for people who are terminally online rather than you autistic view of it.
>>
>the prime cuckold
Ugh...
>>
>>108192670
Good for him for recovering. I take a lot of advice on his ideal workflow. He came a long way and hopefully replaces drugs with his love for computing.

>>108192788
No he is more of like the pre OF era Idubbz
>>
>>108197340
Is he even popular for being a good programmer? I thought it was vim motions.
>>
>>108192653
>Hacker news
He reads from the medium and reddit tho.
