I think this is very important! All those videos of polyglots showing how they study and giving tips, and at this point all of them just keep saying the same things, make you feel like you're going to learn something but then you don't. I try not to watch them but they flood my feed and I end up thinking "what if I *am* missing something?" It sucks.
Haha, sorry bro. I more meant most learners waste their time being "productive", and I was trying to address which content has the highest ROI to actually learn a language. I am a big fan of your channel though, the only influencers I dislike were some of the other ones that blatantly lie and stuff. Alphapolyglotgigachads are still on top :)
Tbf, for the “prioritising views over actual learning” ones, some of them like Language Simp aren’t there to teach you how to learn a language, they’re there to make comedic/entertaining content.
@@Reforming_LL absolutely agreed, they’re not all misleading per se. The problem is learners mislead themselves, and need to be told what is useful/not useful. It sounds obvious looking back, but much content we digest is useless in regards to the goals we pursue. In this instance, if many were to inspect the content they consume they’d certainly find a lot of the LQ content and less of the HQ content I mentioned.
Good essay, I think you have a solid perspective and this is an underrated channel. I subscribed and look forward to more.
