A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I mean, publishing on youtube gets more viewers than publishing in a scientific paper

I'm not sure that "number of eyeballs" is the metric by which a successful scientific discovery should be judged...

Nonsense; this is the future.

Everything is shit in the future!

You're right, of course, but more eyeballs can lead to more sponsorship and more money, which leads to a greater chance of succes. Downside is that you've picked the commercial road and you'll probably end up in the pocket of some Nestle or Shell.
