Would you guys be interested if I start a Youtube/PeerTube Channel where I talk about Unix Topics related to Linux, BSD & Plan9 etc… and perhaps rants and rambles about stuff that I like and don’t like about how the mainstream treats linux etc etc. (I have a lot to talk about and say) and perhaps devlog updates about a game I’m making (its open source obviously) I don’t wanna look like a stupid influencer shill (nobody likes those) but basically I just want a platform where I can speak about what I like and passionate about thats too long to write here, and if a mod/admin is reading this please delete this if its unsuitable for this thread, sorry in advance.
Sounds great to add your own take on Unix topics. I really enjoy well-curated channels that go through more niche topics.
Maybe some older history on peripheral driver development? How bus bit size, limitations of programming language semantics… Why certain design patterns were chosen due to contemporary technologies…
I’d imagine with how small memory was back in the day, that it would be very informative to those who did not grow up with a 90s supercomputer on their desktop.
you should definetly start a peertube channel, that platform really needs more quality content. let me know if you do and i’ll check some of your videos out :)
just send it.
There are 1000 of those channels. Best to start it then share. Also, you have a blog in the works? A blog takes one day to setup. I would make some stuff before you start asking about interest. It sounds fun! Just do it
I do but it’s incomplete, I’m still writing some piece of content on it but feels free to stop by: https://ace120c.neocities.org/
If it’s on peertube, I might follow it. On YouTube, even if I watched it, it’d be through yt-dlp and thus no views for you (at least not officially).
well I’m not even going to monetize it I think, so feel free to watch it anyway you want
Thats not how this works, you tell me what I want and then I complain about it in some way before ultimately caving in cause everyone else seems to be doing it
Start a blog instead. I’d rather read it than listen to someone babbling.
already have one in the works actually!
You can try and later post peertube/youtube link. Nobody can really guarantee that it will be interesting for them until they see it.
Fair enough then, thanks
The niche tech channels I tend to like the most seem to do one of two things, sometimes both. They go deep into history of obscure topics, or they use old tech in a novel way. If you can do either or both, I would probably subscribe.
I see, that’s fair, thanks for the input though appreciate it!
If you post anything, I will check it out!
thanks!
Yeah 100%
sure!
Can you give us a channel to follow?
sure uhhhh Ace120C, there is just 1 video on it tho https://youtube.com/@ace120c
Would you have a specific angle or interesting take on anything? If it’s just recapping the week’s news, I think you’ll have a hard time gaining an audience.
yes! very obscure topics and basically things that are not talked about a lot if at all!
There’s a ton of linux rant channels with a following, so there is a market for them
I don’t wanna copy them, I have other topics I think they are untouched and it would be nice to start a conversation about them. for example “why the normies complain about the proprietary apps they use but then when you suggest something better they just brush it off” (“I hate facebook messenger, its buggy as hell”, “try signal then”, “no.”) thats one example of the stuff I will cover, basically very obscure topics, that nobody have covered yet
I hate facebook messenger, its buggy as hell”, “try signal then”, “no.
If your goal is to rant about these people. Yep you may have an audience. Not me I’m a very old user who just doesn’t find much of the modern arguments interesting. Unless they relate to actual changes in how Linux works.
If on the other hand your goal is to change minds. Then taking an in-depth approach to how to use alternatives will both help more. And get you more viewers looking to change.
I’d also subscribe and point friends and family to useful vids.
You’ll only know if you do it. If you stick to it, improve it and evaluate it every now and then
Alright then I’ll try to post smth, and see if you guys like it or smth idk
