edit: Its really not you in this case - its me...
I just had to see how the "youtuber part" of this "scene" talked to "the masses of people", telling them entire BS - because they guessed wrong about what people were saying - at two points along the way. But they are revered, they have consumer trust, like you wouldnt believe. Like they wouldnt have just told you, that they had to manually center a d-pad by overcorrecting.
It started with "please dont make youtube tutorials yet - not all files currently are backed up properly -- and if you do you'd be responsible for an epidemic of people requiring handholding, if something goes wrong > wait for better tools" -- which to their credit they did understand.
But then someone wrote a line of code differently, so the database (not backed up) didnt get overwritten, but only overmounted - and the youtubers were all like "wow, much better solution, and mo easy - is all amongst us, here is video tutorial" - which if you thought about it too much made your brain hurt - because al it was, was admitting, that most people failed at editing a file with an editor - and that they were afraid of bricks caused by that.
Then youtubers all talked about "better method", and "that the scene was moving so fast", when literally all it was, was one guy writing "unmount this, mount that" instead of "copy this" into a shell script. Amazing. What a difference a day makes.
Then another guy does pretty much the same thing, but removes all the setbacks of the first fix ("fix removes 20 games you own from being playable together with added games!") and all of a sudden no one cares, because the second project by then had a logo, an industry partnership with a discord channel, and still an architecturally freaking dumb way of doing stuff (loose 20 games, smile).
But by then it was on version 0.4.1, and all the youtubers had made two tutorials each at least, because gpghax called them irresponsible and getting people into risks, they never meant to show any responsibility for - so now everyones stuck with the worst conceptual solution - because it has a brandname, and the words safe and easy attached to it.
Just imagine seeing all that and knowing, that you cant do a single thing about it, because - people will always go with the fork with the best logo, and the 40 youtube videos tutorials out there. With "most safe and easy" youtube font treatment on them.
Then still hinting people at a better solution. And getting "idk, creating an additional folder sounds too complicated - I stick with the worst solution out there" commentary in return. How would you react? I mean, I can give up on the spot. Can write 100 times "people are too dumb to be responsible for making their own educated decisions" onto a blackboard Bart Simpson style - but then, deep down I'll always know - that you had them at "most easy" - and once you set up a branded cooperation initiative with a discord channel. Its always the same - it never will change. Marketing wins the day. Even makes people "decide" on what the better shell script is, when all it is, is a shell script.
Thats why you are usually paying 20% of market value on everything for marketing. Thats market making activities. (Go to college, learn not that much - still think that you'll be able to talk people into buying BS? Welcome new marketeer. You are an important pilar of society. Come work at facebook. Tell people that family photo sharing is great on a marketing platform.) Like lying, or misrepresenting your position. Thats why people love to use instagram - or think that youtuber is a career path. Because of about 100 brand evangelists that can get rich doing it, while the rest cant even earn living wages.
All of it is laughable if you learn how it works. But it works like clockwork. Every time.
