Comment on anyone willing to walk a noob through getting some services running?

I wish there was a “hey watch me code/self host” channel that helped noobs see how to approach the problem of starting. Usually their is a “hey watch me code” YouTube that is old enough to have a critical breaking point (some library updated) so a noob finds it impossible.

This will forever be the problem with video tutorials.

Development often moves fairly quickly and videos on most platforms can’t be edited after posting.

The result is your best outcome is if they make an update video to address the changes.

Otherwise the options are:

Take the video down and lose any income it generates

Put a note in the description linking to a document addressing the updates

Keep the outdated video up and keep making money from it

If you’re lucky you might get option 2, but in most cases you’re gonna end up with option 3.

In the vast majority of cases content creators aren’t going to pull or replace a profitable video even if it becomes outdated
