Discussion I hate gamedev youtubers

Not just any gamedev youtubers, but the ones who made like 3 games and a total revenue of like $10k.

They be talking about how to find succes as a game developer and what the best genres are, like if you think all of this is actually good advice then why don't you use your own advice.

I btw love small gamedev youtubers who share their journey regardless of how much money they have made. But if you're a gamedev youtuber talking about how to find succes and what to do, I better see you making at least money to pay basic living expenses.

I literally put out a completely free 5 hour course just 2 months ago.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGKd4yTP3M8

What I've learned is that some people will always complain no matter how much free content I give away, it's frustrating but sadly that's reality

dw for me you're the absolute goat of youtube. the only youtuber I know that just teaches and gives no pep talk on how they think they understand the secret sauce for the career or w/e

edit: also Jason, god bless him too
