What do you guys think of Mental Outlaw? Are there any genuinely good tech youtubers out there? Linus is a consoomer shill, Luke Smith is a pretentious ass, every other one is either boring as fuck or super annoying. Mental Outlaw is the only one I've found to be consistently interesting, and funny.
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) all techtubers suck although mental outlaw is not the worst he does get repetative and you can tell his knowledge only has a certain depth to it he mainly talks about IT and his videos are pretty shallow in the depth they get into distro tube is also not the worst but same thing applies his knowledge can only go so far and then it gets repetitive doesnt really introduce anything new puke zmith is probably the worst because he is full of himself i bet he sniffs his farts all day and his grifting is painfully obvious
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) There is only so much information you can fit into a 10 minute 4 second video - hard to get into worth while tech discussion in that time. Plus the youtube comments are fucking worthless so no discussion there.
>>fg-FB76AAHV you can fit a lot into a well thought out 10 min video. most of them do not have well thought out videos its mostly wasted time. also whats the incentive to stop at exactly 10min? if it was good content you could go 10-15min easily but why stop at 10? Hmmmmmm hmmmm maybe because they have more incentive to make half baked shitty 10min videos than quality 10-15min videos because well,,,,, you know.,.,.,. ads.
>>fg-UH9UB4S9 Yeah, thats what I'm saying. They don't have any incentive to go beyond the bare minimum because they don't care about anything but their monies.
>>fg-0XEYA4E6 I like Mental Outlaw simply because hes introduced me to things I wasn't aware of and I just research more myself, I also honestly like his cooking stuff, hes funny on his own, aside from throwing in too many 4chin memes. >>fb-1DZ937IU → Fair enough, I just enjoy someone introducing topics that I can research further on my own time, rather than constantly shilling different tiling WMs every week. >>fg-FB76AAHV God yeah, I stray from the comments, and just go for the topic itself.
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) why is he making bunnies with his hands?
>>fg-UH9UB4S9 the ad mark is 8 minutes now, just be glad they still put effort into those 2 extra minutes
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) I enjoy listening to his videos while I'm browsing the net. He is a youtuber who appeal to linux newcomers like me. I also like the fact that most of his videos are essentially shallow tutorials for smoothbrains. It also helps that he has a good voice when it comes to explaining. I wouldn't be where I am now if it weren't for his videos and taking an interest in Linux in general. Though I find it very odd how most Linux youtubers are either Indian youtubers who are in it to make ad revenue, people like Distrotube and LukeSmith go on rants about their lives or philosophy, or someone like Baby Wogue who larps as an anime girl and makes videos about Elementary Os. There isn't really that many youtubers dedicated to Linux let alone for people in the anonymous imageboard demographic. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xrNYEyNpBoA
>>fg-ZH9EO0LG Youtube is just for entertainmemt. Real information is scattered around the web in the form of blog posts and forum replies. Lots of trash there too but at least you can find something geniunely nice. YT simply can't provide you with any depth.
Nixie Pixel should start making porn.
My favorites: >https://www.youtube.com/c/LearnLinuxtv/ (LearnLinuxTV) Noob friendly stuff, I only watch it if I want some introductory stuff of some topics. >https://www.youtube.com/user/cruxwork (DJWare) Comfy and truly informative tech channel, mainly talking about linux and server-space tech.
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) mental outlaw is pretty cool desu, he does good tutorials and introduced me to some software/programs I wouldn't of used otherwise, so pretty based. as you say linus is a consoomer and does soyface in his thumbnails, luke smith is a pretentious asshole, though i still enjoy some of his content time to time, and all the rest of them are also consoomers. kenny tends to be the most consistently based
>>fg-5TC7G0PW I'll check out these two, thanks anon
>>fg-5TC7G0PW Thanks!
Its retarded but uke mith makes me irrationally angry. Its partly how he repeats the same subjects over, spinning them off like its new, and partly how he makes minimal effort for some idea and then his cuck followers do all the effort while he slaps large grifter donation links at the bottom while his followers make all the commits and contributions. All his stuff is ridiculously low level (as in simple) but people praise him as some type of tech god. I hate how so many are either blind or are too stupid to notice.
I find this guy's videos pretty comfy. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZrrEuHiQjN2CUo84g5tk7w It's nothing too crazy or deep, just comfy imo.
>>fg-AUZ943P3 → femboy
>>fg-A84CMG7Y I mean luke smith was probably the introduction to linux / programming for alot of zoomers out there. I like him not because of his tech vids but his political and walking around vlogs are entertaining. I get people saying he is pretentious and shit but I feel like its a character (kinda similar to Sam Hyde's character)
>>fg-FWUNR5EA → I feel this way too. Non stop linux videos gets annoying and it is interesting to hear Luke's takes on different topics and compare them to my own.
>>FWUNR5EA >>fg-2VL1PMT5 I dislike luke mostly because after you watch a dozen of his videos you have seen them all. And the fact that others still slurp it up like its some revolutionary content. I guess if lukefags would just admit they like his videos because he is someone who introduces beginners into a subject I would be fine with it, but he is shilled as some tech god and not a beginner tutorial techfag. Also he is not (our guy) he admittedly stated he supports no other content. He only cares for himself, which isnt a bad thing. The bad thing is his followers sucking his cock.
gotbletu is a classic /g/entooman that doesn't do much aside from scripts and interesting tidbits for his hobby.
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) hi kenny
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) This nigger talks very slow like a mental retard and his topics aren't that interesting. Also a gaytheist from his past posts as MagetheEntertainer
I like Brodie Robertson. He's not an edgewood, or a memelord, and you can tell he gives a shit about what he talks about. Least that's what I think. He tends to be more balanced in his attitude, instead of being a freetard zealot (not necessarily a bad thing, but the extremist approach to software, where it's free software or nothing, pushes everybody else away. Those kinda guys are necessary for the world but hard to deal with for most people, including myself.) Mental Outlaw is OK, and I've watched a few videos, but his try hard meme thumbnails and attitude put me off. It's like he knew exactly what his audience was (Chan users), and tailors his content to suit them, but it's just preaching to the choir in the end. And I guess the actual veterans of those boards will find his content to be a bit weak and directionless, like he reads off a script but rambles regardless. >>fg-96WOEYZV Yeah I always suspected him of making threads like these on these chans as some sort of ghetto focus group. See if he has support or not. Kenny if you're reading this, try to tone down those cringe thumbnails. It reeks of forced memes...
>>fg-9UCMDDR3 Remove this now.
>>fg-9UCMDDR3 if i watch his any of his videos i have to watch it on 2x speed or i end up beating my head against the wall.
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) These video influencers aren't diving into NEW_INFO all the time. Eventually their content gets repetitive like statistically low-quality pRNG.
>>fg-9UCMDDR3 Hahahahaha.
>>fg-W8H1MO1J Yeah OP here, I'm already sick of Mental Outlaw
tbh Top Shelf Technology is the only genuine youtuber I know
babyWogue is the only Linux youtuber left still entertaining
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) >Are there any genuinely good tech youtubers out there no
>>fg-ACA8WK85 yeah i quickly moved on from liking tech youtubers
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) >interesting what are you talking about? all his videos talk about themas taht are like a week old... he always waits for /g/ to state their opinion on something before releasing his "own" on a particular thing. he kind of is funny if you share his views and opinions but all this is very subjective cmm. still love this nigger and watch all his videos but i will not pretend that he is original in any way. >pic unrelated but beautiful
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) he is the based gentoonigger
>>fg-0XEYA4E6 This. what the fuck happened to luke smith? i only see him posting religious nonsense instead of tech tutorials. It's been 5 months since the "Vim Tips You Probably Never Heard of" tutorial.
>>fg-UWNEI0L8 I guess there is only do much you can get out of man files. I guess he dissent want to come up with new tech video ideas cause the market is so big. Lazy.
>>fg-UWNEI0L8 >>fg-UN41ONPH im glad suke lmith is sliding into irrelevancy he is a faux `tech guy`
>>fg-DSGHTSAB luke is like the guy at the office who can program excel macros. he's not interested in programming but uses it because its convenient (hence why he only writes shell scripts)
>>fg-UWNEI0L8 >>fg-UN41ONPH >>fg-DSGHTSAB >>fg-293H15TH did you know he watches and sells childporn on vim?
>>fg-UWNEI0L8 Luke said that he's done doing linux videos and tutorials.
>>fg-UP89RDLE bruh, didn't know that. my bad
He's pretty good, but luke smith is better, because he is white.
>>fg-G93A8CWD Dont be a dumbass
>>fg-2H4CM82M this. he made a tutorial on his pedotube instance and took it down minutes later
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) dumb faggot just like every other linux niggertuber
Some small channels that i found: Nicholas Henkey He talks about tech in general and how it affect us https://yewtu.be/channel/UCQTQ7WgZO_5C6wib582uIRg Biased Riot DIY kinda tuttorials, mostly federated software https://yewtu.be/channel/UCehh50T6qtDpt_kEUF33GJw Ambro's Tech and general tips. Videos are common topics https://yewtu.be/channel/UCWm2Zy4ujLaN3Hj_IEVrCiw BugsWriter It's like if MentalOutlaw and LukeSmith have a baby, but an indian one. What he do is interesting, but i don't understand a shit of what he is talkung about because his accent. https://yewtu.be/channel/UCngn7SVujlvskHRvRKc1cTw
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) >>fg-0XEYA4E6 Please don't watch any of those illiterately "tech youtuber" whosoever they are saying will probably endup on debunking channels (such as thunderf00t) or on actual tech channel (such as level1tech) or easily self-debunk if you just look into community resource (such as wiki, forum of privacy/anonymity community) or actual research article done by at least well educated person. List can go on and on: privacy "soother" as example techlore who regularly underestimate "threat model" because he think it's really hard for user archive even "medium" lever of privacy so never have logically continuous privacy/anonymous guide, tons of offtopic, "make believe" level guide mixed with a real one, wolfgang's channel again a tons of offtopic also he like make clown of themself and make guides unnecessary complicated, rob braxman tech more a salesman who avoid software/hardware, community networks/free SIP/MP which can hurt his business model, "STEM influencers" example: naomi wu aka "sexycyborg" more of dead silence, tits jiggling and jokes then actual tech guide because she think it's not what her audience need... TL;DR Need a tech guide read actual one and don't watch peoples who have a zero knowledge or zero interest in it. If you really need watch them at least use invidious: https://api.invidious.io/ https://docs.invidious.io/Invidious-Instances.md And skip sponsor block, in yt-dlp use can use SponsorBlock API to cut it.
>>fg-6100904U → ima guess English isnt your first language i could barely understand what you are saying >>fg-ASPC2SO3 adventuresin9 is a plan9 youtuber (the only one that does plan9 content regularly)>>fg-6100904U →
>>fg-EQ2D3KNA Well yeah... I'm just tried to avoid IB jargon and end up sounding like a robot.
>>fg-8CX2JLQF I think he's ok for the most part but >like and comment to hack the algorithm >smash that like button how long until he starts soyfacing in thumbnails lol
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) Mental Outlaw's videos are good when he's actually talking about technology. His enlightened centrist opinions on everything outside of technology is cringe though.
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) Ben Eater
I watch Brodie Robertson sometimes
>>fg-8CX2JLQF >>fg-9UCMDDR3 >>fg-LTJZ7127 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0ee2RMq6mA at least his content has improved from this
>>fg-W0SNS81N Holy shit hahahah
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) ugly ass nigger
>>fg-8CX2JLQF (OP) Y'all who browse this imageboard are autistic fucks and will never become a techtuber. Cope and Seethe.
>>fg-HH5KN4L7 → is that supposed to be a bad thing?
>>fg-99XVAP6L You will buy a webcam. You will wash off the grease over your face. You will learn to edit videos and stream. And you will write and practice your speech, something you have never done before. But you are not a techtuber, and you will NEVER become one.
