Oh, didn't know that there's a YouTube channel. I'll try to set aside some time to watch them

Btw, one thing that I always wanted to ask you: Do you actually read all the many articles you post here? Or is this community more your 'read later' or 'bookmark' list? Feel free to not answer, I'm just curious because I can't find the time to read that many news about a single topic...

If I have to be honest, I'd usually skim most of the articles, but I'll do a more in-depth reading if it's an opinion by a knowledgeable expert or if it adds anything new to the conversation.
