What their job is has nothing to do with my statement. If the only media reporting about a new technology is a video then that thing is significantly more likely to be bullshit
It’s not reporting on a technology. DIYPerks is a channel about cool projects he does. He shows the build process and explains everything and usually provides plans to follow along
i.e. he is reporting about a technology. Again, if the only media reporting about a new technology is a video then that thing is significantly more likely to be bullshit
He is not reporting. What’s there not to get? It’s not a news outlet. He just says “I found this neat thing and will now build some insane project around it”. I’m sure if you actually went to look, you would find other sources that talk about the technology in detail and probably did so before he made his video
He goes into the downsides of the technology, which you would’ve known if you had watched it. He’s also a very well known, and reputable channel, so I don’t see any reason to not trust him.
If you want more than just a video about an emerging tech then why don’t you provide an article on it, instead of expecting it from OP, who probably just wanted to post a cool tech video.
Not the point. The point is that if this is an attempt at reporting cool new tech usable by the masses, then it should be posted as written coverage. YouTube videos can easily be perceived as content churn rather than reputable sources of information.
But if that wasn’t the point of the post by OP, we’re all good here.
I think we’re all on the same side, looking at it from all angles. 🤷♂️
What he goes into has nothing to do with anything. You don’t seem to understand my comment, it’s very possible that i worded it poorly, so I’ll reiterate:
If the only media reporting about a new technology is a video then that thing is significantly more likely to be bullshit
Don’t worry, you have at least one person who understands what you mean. I definitely agree. 👍 If there’s no written coverage, the significance seems low/only for clout.
Yes, because it’s a maker on YouTube showing off a project he did? It’s a clickbaity title sure, but this isn’t a research paper showcasing a new technology. He’s using a dev kit to make something he thinks is cool. Fail to see the issue.
Thanks, it’s weird how some people are reacting to this comment. Is this their first day on the Internet? I’m not saying this device IS bullshit, I’m saying from a long history of experience that if the only 3rd party media you can find about a device is a video then that device is significantly more likely to be bullshit. It’s simple and clearly true.

I hoped people on Lemmy would be less obtuse than Reddit but oh well
Yes, you’re really the one here contributing to the topical discussion 🙄

That’s literally what reporting means. You don’t have to be a news outlet to do a report.

Be as pedantic as you want, but “reporting” is coloquially used to describe news. This is more akin to a blog
I’m not being pedantic, you just don’t know what the word means.

it’s not a news video.
Yeah, not the point, like the other person said.
Nobody said it was, and is irrelevant. I will quote my other reply to explain the intended point:

No.
We’re not getting through properly—there is no issue. It’s all in the hypothetical purpose of the post by OP.
If this was a way to announce a widely available thing, it would be more credible as an article than a YouTube video. That’s all.
But this is fine as it is. I don’t think that was the purpose of the video or post. I think it was just a fun video. 👍

Yes. People are still down voting us. I think it’s hard to explain this concept or something. We’re not getting through. Oh well.
