This was a case of him just completely making up a percentage.

Wow, down 10%. But Elron said 90% of people in the US support what he's doing?

Make onerous rules and restrictions. Hold posts for moderation and make them answer questions. Don’t accept the answers. Shadowban regular contributors.

Good idea. That's true now, but personally most of my experience needing programming info was several years ago.

I agree. If you’re starting something new and just want to get the gist of it, a video could definitely be helpful. Where I get frustrated is if I only want a reference for one or two specific things, and I have to skip through this 40 minute video to find the 2 sentences and code example I’m looking for.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way. Back 10-15 years ago I was learning JavaScript, Python, CSS etc and I saw people say "I learned programming from videos!" and was wtf, how? Maybe a video explanation could be okay, but trying to extract certain kinds of technical information from a video is maddening and takes 10x as long as getting it from text.
