But for every trash Popular Science review there is an LTT deep dive video that is worth your time. For every CNN there is a BBC. If one's gateway to "the internet" is the first dozen google results, the internet is a shallow place. But if you know your way around its back roads, the internet still grants access to very useful information.

(I would describe HN as a borderline back road of the internet, somewhere between reddit and a private-access forum.)

Stuff like this says a lot about the current state of Google search.

You nention ltt but theyve had their own issues woth fake stuff, and linus famously considers ad- blocking to be theft I've no trust left in damn near anything anymore.

I hear this so often and while the guy has plenty of bad takes he only seems to be saying who pays for the content you enjoy if you’re blocking a significant form of revenue for the people making it.

I see 32K subscribers here https://www.floatplane.com/channel/linustechtips/ are they all paying $50/yr+ ?

[kyorochan]

Do you think they should be paying for the videos you watch?

[crtasm]

I don't watch LTT videos, I'm curious what their income from donations/subscriptions/physical sales is like compared to that from adverts.
