The Linux Experiment

Yeah, I'd rather not have sponsors than pushing stuff that I don't feel comfortable with. It would just not feel good, and I don't want to lose the credibility I built over the years for a bit of cash!

Hi Nick, I don’t care too much about the rambling. Overall it’s interesting hearing what goes on in the background anyway. As far as the sponsors go, if I was in your position, I’d be doing the same thing, or at least asking myself the same questions. I’ve had many content creators say over the years where they had “sold their soul” for the wrong reasons, especially where their content was focusing on privacy, open source or free software even. It was clear to them that the product or project they were promoting for the sponsor, was obviously being pushed by a parent company for the wrong reasons. Anyway keep up the great work!

Thanks, it's been a pretty frantic rhythm, and if I ever feel like I want to work more, I can always do 3 videos per week sometimes, if I have enough things I want to talk about!

You need time to recharge, my guy. Two videos is plenty.
