Was it cost effective? Meh.

Was it a learning experience?

More importantly, did you have some fun? Just a little? (=

Also no. The guy's a youtuber

On the other hand, will this make him 100+k views? Yes. It's bait - the perfect combo to attract both the AI crowd and the 'homelab' enthusiasts (of which the bulk are yet to find any use for their raspberry devices)...

He is not a YouTuber. And even if he was - what's the problem ?

Jeff has many useful OSS software used by many companies around the world daily - including mine. What have you created ?

He may also be a good OSS contributor and writer, but he is also a Youtuber. Over 500 videos posted, 175M views, nearly a million subscribers.

Not that its a problem, I don't see why it would inherently be a negative thing. Dude seems to make some good content across a lot of different mediums. Cheers to Jeff.
