Personally I believe this is a very poor take
This person uses an 8GB mac, and tried to defend Apple in the debate, going as far as to say that Apple hardware is “not that expensive”, and within 2 months regrets buying the 8gb mac.
They think Open Source is “overrated”, insecure, and not important. They think Linux users are “normies” and fakers, Linux is not a desktop OS, and have explicitly stated “F*** LINUX”.
That’s a lot of terrible opinions in just 4 months, especially for someone who calls the internet “stupid”, and supposedly doesn’t have any education.
This is either a troll account, or someone with less than zero credibility considering their opinions and statements.
Something about that channel feels “off”, don’t know what it is. Maybe all the rants and abundance of negative opinions?? Perhaps it’s the culture difference in how he communicates on camera?
The only positive videos I’ve seen are him moving to macOS, the dell laptop one, and i guess the keyboard one, the other ones seem to be mostly opinion pieces & rants. There are other channels that do a better, more balanced job of this I think
Rage bait and contrarianism are unfortunately pretty effective business models on YouTube. The less exposure we give people like that, the better.

This is more than enough for me to form an opinion about this guy.
Summary
According to the video, open source software is not necessarily as important for servers and IT in the modern world as it was in the past. This is because software updates are now delivered electronically over the internet, making it less important to have access to the source code. Additionally, companies typically pay for service agreements with software vendors, which means that the vendor will fix bugs and update the software for them. Even if a company has access to the source code, they may not have the expertise to fix the software themselves.
I believe this is a perfect example of what I believe is called the Dunning-Kruger effect. In the same way that I’m glad amateurs are given a platform, I rue the fact that amateurs are given a platform as a little bit of research would’ve prevented them making themselves look so stupid. “Servers don’t need open source” with 97% of the top 100 servers running Linux looks like an odd position to take. Maybe they’re trolling.
Making connections between open-source and updates is either really stupid or really sus. Open-source isn’t about that at all. I’d say that person is 99% an imp or a troll. In any case just vote him out.

If it’s that bad, could you maybe give people a hint as to why we’d want to watch it and what it has to do with linux?
deleted by creator
I wouldn’t recommend watching it,
So why are you giving him views by prominently linking it? It looks like you’re just bringing the rage bait here.

Uh, you just have to take a look at recent developments with Unity and Adobe to see that closed-source software can be a huge problem?

Might want to change the title a bit…

That youtuber is posting garbage for rage baiting to get interactions.
Just ignore him entirely. Might as well ask a dog for technical advice. At least a dog can’t give you straight up wrong advice
thanks for the brain rot, op 🙏

People are down-voting this poor guy. Ffs, just read what OP thinks of this:

Not sure what the title was before you changed it, but if I see a post in my feed that looks like this (without the “very bad take” part), I wouldn’t even want to open the post to see the description. I’m glad you clarified by editing the title, but without making your stance clear in the title from the very beginning, it would be bound to receive a barrage of downvotes.

I understand that.
I upvote insightful, educational or newsworthy content and downvote clickbait. Especially YouTube clickbait.

Open source is the very worst thing currently going on because it is so incredibly exploitative, it’s far more exploitative than any actual company is of the workers who work at the company.
Even the people who are getting paid in open source are getting massively underpaid to do it compared to how much the people who are using their code are making, it’s nothing compared to the power that is accreted by the people who have co-opted that work thanks to the open source model. And then mark zuckerberg gets to define how the internet works despite having paid for almost none of the software that his company actually needed to make that work.
It’s like feudalism or serfdom, these people did the work and got nothing for it. It’s like you took the worst aspects of capitalism for workers and the worst aspects of socialism for workers and put them together, that’s open source. You get no power and you get no money.
It’s exploitative whether the people chose to be exploited, just because someone chooses to let you exploit them does not meant that you didn’t exploit them. And for the record that’s how most exploitation works; convincing people to do something that turns out to be very bad for them and very good for you, and that’s exactly what the open source movement has turned out to be.
I really don’t see the “we post stuff on github under a gpl2 or lgpl or apache or mit license”, all that is to me now is just exploitation. You can say that there’s solutions but until someone demonstrates that those solutions work, it’s the standard “real communism has never been tried” argument. AGPL is the only thing that I’ve seen so far that’s an attempt to fix these fundamentally unfair compensation practices.
Getting paid in money is one motivation for people, but not the only one. Some people do things because they want to, regardless of payment. And some of them want to give what they made as a gift to anyone. The flip side is that no one can force them to do anything, it’s all voluntary.
lmao how much did steve ballmer pay you to write this
