    Thanks for the elaborate answer. I can see all of your points as far as I‘m knowledgeable in them. The red had details are a bit out of my sphere but the rest I can grasp.

    I have not seen his views concerning the stock market but in general I agree that the system is broken and rigged and ideally, we should get rid of it since it perverts all the efforts of hard working people to serve those with the most money and least empathy.

    But besides this, I do think we need high quality (production) content in the fediverse as to both boost its popularity and make it easy to stay off youtube for those very hooked on regular talking heads in their lives.

    Linus was dead to me when he „took“ the production sample and auctioned it off. Everything after that is not my concern.

    But channels like gamersnexus, jayz2cents, networkchuck, jeffgeerling and co provide fun pastime with some tech input. If they decided to mirror on peertube I‘d probably support them.

    Have a good one.

      100%. If any of us can think quickly of things that publicly traded companies regularly do that we hate. Investing in the stock market and publicly traded companies is unethical. Because the nature of being publicly traded inevitably means that they will all do those sort of behaviors. Whether it’s companies ignoring IP and not allowing others any way of developing or continuing it. No matter how much they promise to pay said company Etc. Or gobbling up and laying off teams of Developers just to eat more of their IP. I’m sure plenty of us can think of plenty of things that publicly traded companies do that we absolutely hate. But every one of them is obligated to behave that way.

      And on the youtuber recommendations you’re spot on. Geerling lacks a little charisma. But as a fellow resident of the state of misery we gotta stick together. And I definitely enjoy his content. I still watch ltt. But I don’t blame anyone who doesn’t. The thing that differentiates all the ones you mentioned from ltt however, is the size. Ltt blew up, Linus and his wife hadn’t been able too manage it properly for some time. Jay, tech Jesus etc have teams working for them. But they are so much smaller and more focused than ltt. Hell even MKB is. Their hiring of a proper CEO I think will help in the long term. Though it might not win back those they lost.
