      That’s enough YouTube videos just recapping an article. But I agree it’s lazy

      This is how hackaday posts have been… for like a decade. I guess it’s somewhere between articles and link aggregator.

      You could add the link so people don’t contribute to ad revenue if you feel strongly! https://youtu.be/zsA3X40nz9w 💜
