Let's do this.

I'm wishing to bring tidings of comfort and joy with this new video.

Or at least comfort and slightly reduced stress levels!

I made a video about my favorite adapter

Folks, I have a new video today where I'm very excited to announce a new dishwasher powder on the market.

Why am I so excited? Because it's vindicated every single one of my detergent opinions.

I have another video today! It's about old-school video projectors and how amazing they were.

Seriously, not only is it almost unbelievable that this even works, but it's doing full HD video with incredibly good image quality. It's also a royal PITA.

I've got a new video out today, this time on the tech that keeps those old dinosaur-powered cars from polluting the air too much

So next time someone shares a YouTube video with you and you want to be a stick in the mud about that, remember that everyone has their own paths to knowledge *and* their own way to spread knowledge.

"this could have been an article"

Yeah it could be, and in fact it is! Anyone could look up door closers on Wikipedia and get the gist of my video's information.

But many millions of people don't even know they're called door closers. Hell, I didn't! Not until I needed to install one.

Ya know what? I'm gonna toot my own horn today On Here Specifically.

I have already received at least a dozen thankful comments/replies for letting people know they can slow down door closers. A lot of people have been living with irritating bangs in apartment buildings and whatnot.

And thanks to watching a YouTube video, their life is now better. I didn't sell anything to them, I just decided to share some knowledge in my own (hopefully entertaining) way.

I made a little video about little video tapes

It's time for another electric vehicle charging video.

Too many people believe EV charging solutions require expensive, huge electric circuits (or worse: service upgrades).

The really high-power ones people tend to go with can be a headache, but there are many other options!

@ernie I'm biased because, having looked through there my thoughts seem nearly perfectly aligned with the OP, but tbh there's a lot of people living the "this is fine" meme over here, and at this point being blunt might be necessary.

@ernie I'm not sure I'm seeing what you're seeing. Could be that ol' Fedi goodness but other than a few back-and-forth arguments, I'm not picking up on surprise.

At this point, I know I can't be critical of this place without taking shit which is why I've stopped. But that's kind of the whole problem, as I see it.

@krutonium lol. No it is not.

The "so anti-corporate they're unwilling to even engage with a YouTube video" is a thing I have only ever run across here.

It's one thing to be annoyed by influencers. Hell, I am. Why do you think I don't do ad reads?

It's another thing entirely to virtue signal that you're such a good little hippie you don't have a Google account.

FYI my last boost?

That's why I don't hang out here so much anymore.

Kind of a drag to see someone share a video of mine then deal with that kind of sentiment.

Also I'd really like to be able to quote toot but alas...

A screenshot for posterity

Confidence is not "I know what I'm doing."

Confidence is "I know how to find that out" and "I know how to learn new things" and most importantly "I know when I don't know what I'm doing, so I stop and find someone who does"

Obnoxious blowhards rely on people not understanding this distinction. And they amplify it by framing actual confidence as weakness.

This may be a useful thing to talk about with certain people in your life who are being fooled by fascists.
