Having second thoughts about starting youtube channel

I know a lot of people already do this but I wanted to talk on youtube about my life, my journey into tech and tips on breaking into tech. However the recent techlead debacle (wherein a youtuber got fired from FB for posting youtube vids) has got me thinking whether I should do this. What do you all recommend?

As long as you keep is focused on how to get into tech, I think you’d be safe. That’s just my guess though. If you do decide to make the videos, post a link to them 😀

What is your motivation? Monetary? Self expression? Do you have valuable lessons learned? Regardless I have ZERO social media exposure or connection with my employer. I have no need to get out there and risk my home for some internet points.

Self expression and some valuable lessons learned

prolly only bc FB wanted him to use FB video instead of YT

Apple explicitly disallows it, but it's fine for other FANGs. I wouldn't have hesitated at FB or G

If you’re still at Apple I’d just quit now. Apple doesn’t let you talk about shit even remotely adjacent to the company. Even this post is prob violating some policy

This post is violating policy? How so?

That dude is lying. I was told he still works at fb.

Do you have proof? He seems like a bullshitter to me, honestly.

Microsoft gt2 Sep 12, 2019

I don’t have proof. Can anybody who works at fb verify? His name is Patrick shyu I think.

Do you really think he was “fired” for posting videos on YouTube?

Apple darkMod OP Sep 12, 2019

Isn’t that what he said?

I will take his words (or any YouTube personality’s) with some grains of 🧂
