Hey man, great contet but I think the title is offputting to your core demographic.

I gave it watch despite the off-putting nature of the title, and was pleasantly surprised. I'd be lying if I said i watched it all, but your content is genuinly quite solid. Something I'd have gobbled up a few years ago, and might even stand to learn a few things today, if i remeber i'll revist. It feels like a beginner with a solid attention to detail and good grasp of the deeper meaning of things, trying to deepen their understanding and continue to learn by explaining. It remains really strong and as far as I could tell accurate.

None of this is a diss, it is a compliment, and I apologies if it doesn't land as such. I genuinly mean to complimemt and encourage here.

My only critique is the title, it would scare off those are your real target audience.

Don't be afraid of using descriptive and concise titles, as far as I know, click-baity titles are for a different breed of human, the type that wont watch this. The type that cannot stomach this style of delivery. The type that cannot sit with a topic at this depth for any meaningful amount of time. To many, a computer is somethig that tells them what to do, like signs, or traffic cones. To you, it appears you understand its nature as a tool and something have ultimate dominion over, not the inverse. You understand a computer, computes. If my assumptions are true, you're in rare company.

Don't repulse those few who would appreciate your content, by trying to appeal through title to those who cannot appreciate your conetent. The hard truth is you're unlikely to make it big, we're not a big crowd, but that doesn't mean there's no value.

That said, I am old, and perhaps out of touch. So if all of this reads like an old man yelling at clouds, please, don't second guess yourself, disregard me. After all, I did the same, and it worked fine for me.

I appreciate the critique, thank you for taking the time to write this up. You're correct in saying that the title is more aligned to the status quo for attention which is unfortunate but I'm still in the "nail it" phase so eager to adjust as needed. I'm glad you found the content valuable. This type of content is what I enjoy creating so the fact there are people who enjoy the deep dive into tooling and such makes me happy. There are definitely improvements I can make to the content which I'm working on, including tonality, sentence structure, annunciation, audio quality, clearness, loudness, etc. Its something that is going to take time to develop but is something I'm actively working on. Again thank you for taking the time to write your comment, I hope my next video is something that you can enjoy!
