Modding on the Spectrum

For example videos that made you laugh, made you think, entertained you or helped you.

like this one:

Good to know I'm curious about the videos that you find interesting

YouTube provided me with this food for thought today: 25 minutes well spent if you ask me

You are not the only one who is scared, Tom Scott:
I split some posts from the Regulars' Table to form this thread.

Edit:
And again I messed something up (there was a duplicate topic) while splitting posts but now everything does work as intended (the duplicate topic is removed). I'm still learning and will get better each time.

An interesting place (and one of my favorite videos)
And here's the last one for today:

I simply love lost places

The history behind the creation of Pokémon Red and Blue

The rise and fall of a brand that got too greedy

What do you think about AI art? Do you only see the problems for the artists or the new possibilities it could bring? I see both but I'm undecided which side is stronger. That's why I haven't tried AI art yet.

Does YouTube hate artists?

"Strangely Familiar Places in Dreams Explained"
He (Design Theory) has some great advice for artists starting at 21:54. The video as a whole gives interesting insights into things that are overlooked easily. "If you love your craft just keep doing it" [...] "You can't control anything about how your work is perceived but you can control the amount of work you create" [...] "either actively improve on it [your design or piece of art] or you move on to the next project. Don't over-analyze. Don't worry. Just go back to work and find ways to do it better the next time. It will remove all of the anxiety you have around your lack of success"

I'm doing art as a hobby, be it writing (mainly in a blog or forum), making mods or drawing/painting. I share it online and I worry about how well it is received because I indeed tend to over-analyze things (and often my inner critic has a finger in the pie) and put too much emphasis on the stats (views, likes, endorsements, etc.). In moments of doubt, I try to tell myself that art is subjective - we have different opinions about what works are art in our eyes. Despite this underlying anxiety, I keep doing creating art because I love creating stuff with my own hands. I'm not a pro but when I look back, I see that I improved my skills over time.
