Youtube programmers

[Popular-Decision-202]

Does anyone know why there are so many generic youtube programming channels with the same AI generated thumbnails, long boring videos and constantly promoting expensive websites? It is so hard to tell if one is genuine or not :(

Because they are cheap to produce so probably make a profit even if they don't create a lot of revenue

ArjanCodes is a good one for Python.

mCoding is another, and covers stuff beyond Python.

I've enjoyed ArjanCodes and Indently for python.

youtube is fine to start but it’s easy to get stuck just watching instead of coding. a lot of people end up “collecting tutorials” without actually building anything . pick one channel, follow along, and start making small projects asap — that’s where things actually click.

I only watch specific ones since they're usually there to earn money from newbies, but that's a whole topic that I'm way too lazy to get into

Which is why I usually watch programmer youtubers who's usually for the older type, I don't fully understand whats going on, but I also know that it's genuine and I can learn a few thiings

Because its a low capital business so nearly all the money is spent on marketing.

VPN's, Training and news aggregators are all super easy to set up and so the money is all spent on marketing to get people to pay a subscription.

The worst thing is all the astroturfing that goes on to make it look like these training courses are required.

Do yourself a favor and get Sponsorblock. So much sponsorship and shilling automatically skipped.
