  • Video-only link.
  • No transcript, synopsis, or even point of view in the post.
  • Provocative click-bait title.

No thanks. I come to discussion forums for discussion and legitimate news, not to spend my time slogging through some influencer's video to bolster their view count.

When they don't respect my time enough to at least outline their key points in text, and there's no obvious reason why the content must be video, I find that it's vanishingly unlikely that they have anything interesting to say.

There's a transcript in the description and this is on tilvids, a FOSS fediverse platform which does not financially benefit the uploader

An off-site transcript is no substitute for posting something of value in this forum. Lack of direct financial benefit from clicks makes no difference to any of the points I raised. (But as an aside, since you brought it up, "SUPPORT THE CHANNEL"!)

This video is a mirror of the YT channel. It is clickbait. On YT not only it works, it is mandatory. The Linux Experiment is that kind of channel, where the host has some interesting things to say once in a while, but is a poor communicator. He still thinks he has to abuse superlatives and be radically sensationalist just to get eyes on the video and earn an audience. I have watched a couple of videos of him but it was tiring hearing him speak idiocy upfront then try to add nuance to said idiocy. It is annoying and the worst kind of content.
