Rick Beato is pretty cool. I remember a rant, he did about copyright takedown crap[0] (He's actually done a bunch of them). > Making videos is really hard. This has been my experience, which is why I tend to write longform, instead of producing videos (which I know would be a lot more popular). [0] [VIDEO]
