    Not gonna lie very few teachers from my experience have the charisma in their teaching that an experienced Podcaster has on a topic.

    I’ve had a couple for sure who I could listen for hours teach.

    But many would just rattle off facts endlessly and wouldn’t really engage.

      to be fair, a podcaster only has to engage in the topic once, imagine repeating the same thing for years 6h+ every day

      This is what has not been leveraged by almost any learning institution! The people that are explaining a concept to students for the first time and people who are good at answering questions while the student is practicing/digesting the information do not need to be the same people! This is how you increase the efficiency of education, you specialize roles.

      I loooooove the meltdown the Star Wars: Galactic Cruiser twitter/subreddit had after Jenny’s “Star Wars Hotel” video, especially the segment where she predicted every type of comment she was going to get (and she was 100% bang on). It was the first or second time since the blackout that I had actually spent more than a minute on Reddit scanning for the answer of my Google query.

      Thank you for spending $6000USD and suffering for our entertainment, Jenny o7

        Holy shit it’s still going on

        Someone called Jenny’s content brand as “extremely mean spirited”

        What the fuck

          It’s soooo funny, and really exposes how much of the social media landscape is people discussing content they never interact with or attempt to consume, even within their own niche. 5 seconds of scrolling through Jenny’s Youtube feed could tell you exactly how “mean spirited” she is.

          The Disney parks subreddit was much more level headed discussing her video’s criticisms, which surprised me.

            Literally claimed to watch her content and thinks she makes bad faith arguments when called out

            It’s funny as fuck tbh

              Oooh, I wonder if it’s the dregs of those weirdos that harassed her for saying that The Last Jedi “was ok” (which it honestly, it would be if it was a regular space heist movie or something. It’s just a god-awful Star Wars movie specifically).

        Reading that subreddit has been my husband’s latest pastime, he loves reading people be angry for some reason, and I guess the battlenet forums weren’t amusing enough anymore!

        I just feel so bad for Jenny, who was so clearly trying to hard to make things work and at every turn Disney was just “fuck yooouuuuu”

          Thank you so much for this revelation, I know EXACTLY how I’m spending my Friday (reading posts coping about Blizzard’s p2w meta). Your husband and I are cut from the same cloth.

      Hbomberguy is so good. I’ve seen his oof video 3 times and just started my third re-watch of his plagiarism video. I was browsing through his older videos and saw that he had an older plagiarism video as wellnot as long and worth the watch too.

    Me, amazed by the Antikythera Mechanism, and the modern day reconstructions of it. But I look up in the night sky, and either I can’t see shit, or whatever few stars/planets I see, I have no fucking clue what I’m looking at LOL!

      There’s a few apps for that which can help get you started. Doesn’t help too much with light pollution though

        Very true that. In one direction, we have a large construction company that runs 24/7, and in the other direction, there’s a number of casinos.

        So yeah, light pollution hits hard in my area ☹️

    It is possible you have ADD or ADHD. Just saying, because this is kind of a hallmark of those illnesses. Whether it’s defiance or lack of interest.

      Being curious about science podcasts is not a hallmark of ADHD. It’s just a hallmark of people who like learning about science.

        But being unable or disinterested in mandatory work versus being ultra interested in voluntary work; that is a hallmark symptom of both illnesses.
