Comments by "Winnetou17" (@Winnetou17) on "Announcing My New YouTube Channel (Not About Linux!)" video.

  1. I'm in the same boat. But because he's DT, I asked that, with the same disclaimer than I'm on the side of not believing this is actually useful for the society. I asked that on the first video on the other channel, but I think I'm shadow banned, I have no replies and no likes, kind of like nobody sees it. I'm actually curious, because I'm hoping that DT wouldn't go into this, unless he feels that it's at least okish, morally speaking. I can never know. But since I'm not that much into this, it's an opportunity to learn, maybe I'm the one that will change my mind. So far he explained what the options are, and overall I got the idea, it's a nice tool for lower risks, by the looks of it. But on the "how is this useful for the society" part I'm still clueless. I mean, for the companies and for actual investors (people that are actually there and put money to invest, not to simply profit by playing the trading game) for them I understand, it's a way for a company to receive funding fast, just by providing trust that it will do well (financially and/or for the society). But for those that are only there to play the trade game and profit from it, I feel like they're simply intermediaries, leeches that profit from the success of others and overall making the place worse (they can also amplify bad stuff like hype or other speculation, which sometimes can be fabricated). I really hope that I'm at least partially wrong and that these traders actually do provide some value for the system, but I highly doubt that. Sigh

  2. Why the hell do you have to waste your, and everyone else who's reading this, time with this comment ?

  4. For me it's not that unexpected. I didn't knew he was planning (and for so long) to have a new channel. But, he did mention that he's trading a lot in at least one HeyDT videos, so I knew about that part. And the new channel, can't say I'm too surprised even if I didn't knew. Regarding what he's focusing on the FOSS world, he kind of already touched on everything, talked about it, made a video or an answer in a HeyDT video about it. Going forward there would be much rehashing the same things, just with minor changes, especially obvious for the "take a quick look at distro X" when there's new versions. For vim and emacs, there's not much to do/say. A lot of other CLI utilities, not much to say extra. So he's kind of out of new topics (and I say it was a bit visible) unless he forces himself to find new ones.
