Realistically, it’s a question of reach. Most people do not read articles, and the few that do are not reading very many very often. In contrast, there is a massive audience of YouTube consumers, even for this kind of nice interest. And unfortunately, the YouTube algorithm is better at promoting this content than posting articles on Lemmy and Hacker News will ever be. So, if you’re trying to share your insights with the latest crowd within your interest, YouTube is obviously the superior way to do that. Not to mention most JS developers live on YouTube, even when they’re working.

Also, I don’t think this title is clickbait at all. The thesis of the video is that the ecosystem of JS/Web Dev tooling is all being (or already has been) explosively re-written in rust.
