Here, the video the article is talking about. Save you from reading the author’s life story.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.
I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
While the link is useful, the smug takedown is uncalled for. Humans relate way more through personal stories like this. Without the story, the video is not impressive at all, as most will have now idea how difficult this achievement is. There is also something to be said about adding some flourish and passion in the story, instead of coldly presenting facts.
It’s just like those shitty recipe sites that tell you their grandma’s life story for hours before giving the recipe. Get to the point, who cares about the anecdotes of some writer?
I don’t want to connect with everyone always everywhere. It’s just like small talk, which may be acceptable or even essential in some cultures, while considering rude and wasteful where I’m from.
I get that, some people prefer to have some personal story mixed in the article, but personally i’d like to have my time respected, more than 2 paragraphs of that and i’m out. With that bloated life story and a baitest of the clickbait headline, it deserved to be call out.
I didn’t find the story bloated. I found the whole article quite insightful. Not everyone is processing things the same way.
I’m ASD and I’m also human, gimme the cold hard facts so I can absorb them like I do everything else without having to strip the clutter. Everything else is useless to me.
The point of journalism is to get the facts across and inform viewers. I don’t care about the journalist other than them being impartial and reporting on the facts.
Man, you sound like those gamers who complain that game journalisst should only report on the technical specifications of the game.
