Just putting it here as it is good material to be aware of and hopefully not need.

    I didn’t watch it, I don’t have time for that. These type of YouTube video fucking infuriate me, like unless you need to visually demonstrate something just write it out. And even then you could add pictures. It’s just grubby time wasting and grasping for ad revenue.

      Bruh, its a nine minute video of amateur troubleshooting done IRT. I had something happen to my deck recently that required a similar amount of time ignorant troubleshooting (although I’ve never seen a green light on my deck).

      If it helps someone, then what’s the harm in uploading it for others?

        I mean aside from it being a money grab and a waste of time, if he really wanted to help others why not write the solution in the details of the video? Because he doesn’t care about helping people, he wants the views, and that kinda sums up most of the problems with the internet today

          money grab

          Homie, I ain’t trying to cause an argument. Just trying to bring realism into this.

          But there was no ads even the client lemmy uses. How did they profit off this video that doesn’t even reach the level yt requires for monetization?

        So you say you took a similar amount of time troubleshooting. Can you tell me why you think sharing knowledge about fixing something should require someone else to spend exactly the same amount of time watching you monologue about it?

        Another user posted the critical part what the issue was and how it got fixed in 3 sentences! Making a 9 minute video out of it is just bizzare. If it really has to be a video you could do this in a minute or less and get straight to the point.

          I’ll start doing this whenever I see a solution to something.

          "Oh no, my toilet is clogged. The first thing I’ll do is watch it and start thinking about what I should do. Flush again? No, that might make it overflow.

          …"

          20 minutes later: “I finally found the solution! I just need to use my toilet plunger.”

          🤦

          Cause I don’t remember.

          I spent a few minutes holding random buttons that included the power/sleep button.

          This seems like something really odd to argue against posting.
