    It’s a YouTube channel that does high quality DIY projects, and explains the reasons behind the choices made.

    Why would this be an article as opposed to, y’know, a video? His job is to make YouTube videos.

    I don’t understand this obsession some on Lemmy have with shitting on hard-working creative types when they make something in video form rather than creating a blog and publishing articles.

      I will quote my other reply:

      What their job is has nothing to do with my statement. If the only media reporting about a new technology is a video then that thing is significantly more likely to be bullshit

        It’s not new technology you numpty.

        It’s not news. It’s not a scientific paper. Wireless energy transfer isn’t “bullshit”, it’s been an understood aspect of physics for a long time.

        Since you seem unable to grasp the concept, I’ll put it in bold and italics:

        This is a video of a guy doing a DIY project where he wanted to make his setup as wireless as possible. In the video he also goes over his thoughts and design considerations, and explains how the tech works for people who don’t already know.

        It is not new technology.

        It is not pseudoscience.

        It is a guy showing off his bespoke PC setup.

        It does not need an article or a blog post. He can post about it in any form he wants.

        Personally, I think showcasing this kind of thing in a video is much better than a wall of text. I want to see the process, the finished product, the tools used and how he used them.
