  • @eckersplode
    @eckersplode Pƙed rokem +6

    I like a bit of both! The update of multiple topics weekly is a nice catchup to whats going on, but the single topics are more of a headliner in depth. I must say though, I prefer the multis to just inform of the general topic briefly then the viewer can look more indepth on a topic elsewhere.

    just an idea
 you can keep the 1 topic format, but make it a bit more concise so that you can generate a weekly playlist which goes through the topics in one go by the end of the week. if there’s more than 1 topic that day, that is also fine but you can make a separate video so it gets listed in a playlist as a separate item. longer form videos can have its own category.

    My preference is multiple, but mostly because you have a fast-paced format that supports them. For single topics, I'd like to see more background and information slowed down. Otherwise, though, can it be made certain that these companies actually shut down versus simply making a public statement and operating in private? Surely there's still a market -- albeit smaller -- even with blocks.

    I think that capabilities like this shouldn't be in anyone's hands, so that they were regulated out of business is definitely good. I just wish software companies would get their shit together and not leave vulnerabilities in software in the first place. It sounds like it's one of those things that's impossible, but it's not. Programmers just need to be taught how to actually program, because there's plenty of good code out there written by good programmers, but in a large system, the weakest link is the strongest that the chain can be.
