“I’ve really tried to watch the JB crew and am a regular Self-Hosted listener until I can find other shows on the subject.
Simply put, the show’s becoming more and more insufferable. There’s either constant begging for viewer bitcoin donations, heavily shilling for advertisers, and worst of all: constant attempts to exploit the spirit of the open source and linux communities to do their little projects for them that they come up with and forget about within the span of 3 minutes on the show.
There’s very little substantive talk, even in their shows that are meant to be substantive. My opinion is that these guys have been doing this for so long, have their views heightened by a feedback loop of a group of people they call a community, and as a result think a lot of what they do is good content. It’s not.
There’s a reason why everyone’s shocked you’ve been doing this since 2011, because it feels like a set of shows only started 4 years ago at most.
There are a lot of great smaller shows in and around Linux, at least we know a little better in our computing communities to explore options.”
