For the YouTube programmers influencers wanna be

Can you teach something valuable and/or new?


For some years now, there are some YouTube programmers (or at least they started as programmers) who now never put a video with actually programming in it. It's just vlogs, podcasts, day in a life, just flexing they sold their IT idea for n million dollars, even gossip, reactions to other videos not even related to programming..etc...
It's not bad, I enjoy that type of video too.. But if I subscribed to you because you helped me with some programming stuff, upload a programming or programming-related video too. At least from 5 videos,1 to be programming bits.


I like watching Techlead rants, I like watching Joshua Flukes life updates and cringe company videos or CV related, I like watching Clement being weird in some videos etc. But these people actually show some values too. Some of them have courses, some of them have businesses and when they upload a programming video they display a lot of value. For example, if you saw a TechLead video of his programming, it's just amazing how simple appears to be, but really isn't.
There are others who only upload very valuable programming videos like the coding train or clever programmer or a lot more. But here I talk about people who are known for other things than programming or who are little YouTube stars.


So, the last type of YouTube programmers I wanna talk about it's the YouTube programmers influencers wanna be who don't actually upload programming videos or really helpful videos about programming. I will not name them, but they are those guys which uploaded years ago some videos with actual value, and now just remember the time, just being arrogant with no reason, telling stupid stories about how easy is to work as a programmer(but not everyone), and the most annoying, trying to explain some algorithms or program something so from above that as a normal person who wants to understand the problem, it's impossible to do. It's like some professors who at some point explain something that I don't know if even they understand it.
