I think it's pretty sad that these journalists are just recapping YouTube videos now and it would be better to directly link the original video, but Jim Sachs is definitely a legend of digital art.

That's about 95% of Hackaday articles [1] [2]...but I think video is not the ideal format for reaching HNers. The LGR video didn't get much traction last week, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42822296

For me, the folksy personal nerd narrative style that makes success on Youtube, doesn't resonate with the parts of me that make HN sticky. I kind of put up with LGR while admiring what he's doing...I will often watch his videos, but I don't subscribe.

[1]: and rehashing articles and other videos is a large fraction of Youtube.

[2]: as John Lennon said, the medium is the message.
