[@timusius]

Well.. I honestly wanted to watch the entire thing, but couldn't handle that "humour", so I had to switch it off. This guy knows serious stuff, and it's interesting in it's own right. There is NO reason why half the video should be "funny" to keep the viewers entertained. I just get angry when I see this crap. Marcin needs to decide if he is making videos for small kids or adults. He can't reach both with this stupid style.

The internet truly can be a beautiful thing. What you said reminds me of a comic I loved who just wanted to exist outside of mainstream comedy and avenues. He died right before/as podcasting was beginning to grow and it would have been a perfect opportunity for him to own & be in control of everything never having to worry about someone else pulling the plug. Times are always changing. There will be some next innovation, opportunity, or avenue for success pop up that the current youngens will miss out on & the ones after will benefit from. It's a constant cycle when innovation is happening.
