Is there a single fucking channel in these links that isn't full of affiliates, sponsorships, "thanks" hearts with dollar signs in them, or donate links? This is the fucking internet. This isn't television 2.0.

Mark Furneaux - this guy has a playlist with a full, deep guide to pfsense among other interesting things. https://www.youtube.com/user/TheUbuntuGuy/videos

arronmunroe - nothing but no commentary, high quality, 60fps multiplayer videos of video games. Most are netplay of arcade games. https://www.youtube.com/user/arronmunroe/videos

NAVYMAN8903 - lots of good information on handguns and rifles. Doesn't beg or tell you to subscribe. https://www.youtube.com/user/navyman8903/videos

Forrest Haggerty Channel - this guy just recently got a donate link because dumb people in the comments were telling him to do it and he listened. Ugh. But he's a really good educator. Gives only the facts about events using Google Earth. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCiEbRbR2F34dORnT0faWFXw/vid...

Pat Condell - speaks directly to the camera with one take, no editing, no begging for money, and straight to the point commentary on politics and atheism. https://www.youtube.com/c/patcondell/videos

ewhac - the developer of Escape from Monster Manor for the 3DO. Has a LOT of insight about the 3DO video game system not found on any other channel or anywhere on the net, really. Doesn't beg for money or donations. https://www.youtube.com/c/ewhac/videos

big blue frontend - developer working on native PC port of Final Fight. Also has deeply insightful videos about arcade emulation not found anywhere else online. I have yet to find any other human know more about the accuracy of arcade emulation than this guy. Doesn't beg for money or even monetize his videos. This is the INTERNET. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwPvdwZZ35dm6xozp-zpcpQ/vid...

Imagine getting some money for all the time invested making content for people.

Who of us on Napster got paid for sharing our music collections with other people? Oh that's right: nobody.

Most people who look at the internet as a place for profit feel they own the videos they upload. So if you reupload a video they deleted, they copyright strike you. Do you know how much of a violation that is? Once you upload something to the internet you no longer own it. That's been the way it's been for years. Now these people come along and try to stop you from mirroring things or having it be lost to time, and I bet you support that, DON'T YOU?

Oh BOY I want to interview you in voice. WOW.
