All you need to know about DNS in 15 minutes.

I read the article twice in under seven minutes and also didn't have to put up with a grown adult pretending to be a cat.


YouTube allows speed-up up to 2x. 1.5x is great when you have to listen to spoken text not available otherwise.


There's some textual detail in the video that seems important to his presentation which could be missed at 2x/1.5x and I like listening to things at normal speed. Listening any faster would probably make his speech affectation even more deeply annoying. It's just a terrible presentation.

No prejudice's here. If he was dressed as Mr Blobby or the flying spaghetti monster I'd feel the same way.


Pretty funny (for about 30s...)


I didn't actually find it funny. On the other hand, if you don't focus on his goofy presentation you might find that the content is really good.


When you're knowledgeable and your content is quality, I don't understand why you'd need to dress like a cat during the videos. Is it a gimmick for attention? If so, is the assumption that those interested in DNS somehow intersect with those that enjoy seeing 30+ year old men dress up like a cat? Maybe I'm overthinking this - the guy does seem to have quite a few views, so apparently it's working for him.


Gotta love the internet, filled with wonders like this... ;)
