Why can't we have this kind of information as a document that we can read, rather than a video which requires a whole lot more infrastructure?

I mean there probably is somewhere, but OP watched this video and liked it. I dislike videos as well, but different people have different preferences, I don't see why this shouldn't be posted here

Cause you and everyone else won't pay for it. 🤷‍♂️

If you think YouTube is paying for it, you're not running a channel of your own at something like 0.001 per view.

They do. For the the top. And YouTube creates exposure for sponsorship. Everyone can dream 🤷‍♂️.

I agree, not clicking that link. The aim seems not to spread information, but to monetize it. If you wanted a video you could just use PeerTube.

Yeah, fuck people who want to teach and make a living. Scum of the earth, right?

You are right, I was a bit too harsh, sorry for that. I saw Linux and then my "information should be open for everybody spidey sense" rang. Of course you are allowed to make money for your work. I am not a very big YouTube fan and I don't like YouTube posts though.
