What age range is this channel's target audience? The slow pace and sophomoric description of 2 channel audio at the beginning makes me thing it is aimed at a young audience.
I am also 30 or 40 years old. I'm Schrödingers millenial.
I quite enjoy the delivery of technology connections. A nice change of pace imo, compared to other youtubers that edit out every millisecond of quiet time between words and sentences.
But I'm not watching the videos to learn new stuff either
I absolutely love this channel even though I find the guy's delivery excruciatingly slow and his style very annoying. I watch it on 2x to solve the first problem and just cringe through the dorkiness.
Yeah, the dorkiness can be a bit too much sometimes. One time he made a dorky joke, and then made a meta-joke addressing how dorky that joke was, and it was extra cringe...
I think the simple explanations are just that guy's style. He often has oddball videos about stuff you've probably seen but never thought about in depth - from lava lamps to retroreflectors.
He gets quite a few views and educates a lot of people. No need to look down on it - if it isn't for you thats ok.
As someone who is younger than HN demographic, it is consistently funny to me how many on Hacker News seem to think that 20-30 year olds are teenagers, whenever a YouTube video targeted towards that demographic is posted. Here's a thought that might frighten you: The oldest Zoomers (the first generation where being exposed to Windows XP is optional) are now 26.
I suspect you're not really inferring this from the sophomoric descriptions, as there are plenty of science/engineering documentary films dating back to the 19th century that are aimed at non-researcher adults and use simplified easy-to-understand descriptions, but rather gen Z stylistic choices like using the word "wiggly" to describe the groove of a vinyl record.
It's not playback speed that's slow. It's the sophomoric definition of stereo. It's the absolute dragging of the feet to deliver that definition that isn't even a good description of stereo.
