> Was it a learning experience?

Also no. The guy's a youtuber

On the other hand, will this make him 100+k views? Yes. It's bait - the perfect combo to attract both the AI crowd and the 'homelab' enthusiasts (of which the bulk are yet to find any use for their raspberry devices)...

He is not a YouTuber. And even if he was - what's the problem ?

Jeff has many useful OSS software used by many companies around the world daily - including mine. What have you created ?

He may also be a good OSS contributor and writer, but he is also a Youtuber. Over 500 videos posted, 175M views, nearly a million subscribers.

Not that its a problem, I don't see why it would inherently be a negative thing. Dude seems to make some good content across a lot of different mediums. Cheers to Jeff.

"He is not a YouTuber"... what?

https://www.youtube.com/c/JeffGeerling

"978K subscribers 527 videos"

Jeff's had a pattern of embellishing controversies, misrepresenting what people say, and using his platform to create narratives that benefit his content's engagement. This is yet another example of farming outrage to get clicks. I don't understand why people drool over his content so much.

I guess I met Jeff's work on Ansible for DevOps: Server and configuration management for humans which is roughly 10 years old.

I then used many of his ansible playbooks on my day to day job, which paid my bills and made my career progress.

I don't check youtube so I didn't know that he was an "youtuber", I do know his other side and how mucH I have leveraged his content/code in my career

Nothing that is not AGPL-licensed, so you and your company haven't taken advantage of it.

I am not sure how this relates to my comment though.

He absolute is a YouTuber.

And the inference is that he is doing this for clicks, i.e. clickbait. The very title is disingenuous.

Your attack on the poster above you is childish.
