No offense, but that’s like pissing into the wind. As you know, business drives IT adoption. We have 50 engineers that can only use Windows because we depend on Autodesk software. We spend $50k per year on Office E5. I, as an individual, will never spend in my lifetime, what I spend in 1 year at work, with Microsoft. I’m not saying this to brag, but to give perspective. It’s how you have to drive Linux adoption too.

It is my opinion that the iPhone became successful because it supplanted Blackberry as the preferred corporate phone. At the time, the iphone did not play nice with any IT management system (like Active Directory). IT staff hated it, but we couldn’t say no because there was no equivalent alternative, Corporate adoption drove the iPhone’s success. Linux needs to do something that no one else is doing well.

The solution I used is to pay for the service that removes ads and scroll right past shorts, ignoring it. Let me guess, google should provide you that infrastructure for free?

YouTube is far from ruined. There’s a ton of educational and information channels making high quality content. These are some of my favorites:

• Throttle House (car reviews)
• Savagegeese (car reviews)
• Adam Ragusea (home chef)
• Coffeezilla (independent journalist)
• Dave2D (technology reviews)
• Donut (car news, humor)
• Food Wishes (pro chef)
• Johnny Harris (independent journalist)
• Louis Rossmann (tech repair and tech politics)
• Skill Up (video game reviews)
• SmarterEveryDay (science)
• Veritasium (science)

Are these channels perfect? No. Nothing is perfect. But these channels easily justify paying for YouTube premium.

That person is not being honest. They want us to believe they disliked 100 consecutive shorts and on 101 it looped back to the first short? A total lie.
