    Why on earth would I want to sit through two adverts just to find a 14 minute video that would’ve been vastly more informative and helpful as an article, which is easily skimmed to find out if it’s applicable to most people?

    Hint - this isn’t

      YT has ads? Never seen them before.

      Anyways, everything important that is in the vid or would have been in an article (which I too would prefer) is already in the title of this post. But the fact that she put effort into making and communicating her implementation is good human behavior.

        This statement is either extremely ignorant, or you’re just being an pretentious wanker

        Which is it?

          Just someone fed up with people explicitly mentioning ads where there is perfectly easy solution to that (ad blocker, a 2 click add-on in Firefox app). Like, why were the ads so important to mention (and maybe watch?)? The very thing you were complaining about is the conglomerate profiting from ads, and yet you question my comment.

          As a PSA, use ad blockers, fight monopolies.

          If I would try to be a pretentious wanker I’ll just ask why use the YT page and not something a bit more humane like Piped: https://piped.video/watch?v=f2jH8PcuOMs

            Of course I use Adblock. Because I know yt has ads. I’m suggesting OP is either extremely ignorant insofar as he doesn’t know yt has ads, or he’s just being a wank

            Which bit of that confused you?

      Well, writing an article is a skill, and sitting in front of a camera to talk casually about something you know about isn’t that skill.

        No idea why I’d want to listen to a video by someone without basic writing skills then!

          Because they have something interesting to say that you wouldn’t otherwise hear due to gatekept writing traditions!

    That’s just solar panels/collectors with less extra steps! :D

    But I’m all for this idea, basically adaptive sunlight based heating. It also works if the house is more of a greenhouse, like if you have floor to ceiling or ceiling windows with some sort of shades to regulate the amount of light. It’s really convenient & intuitive + can be automated with simple controllers (and like Home Assistant).

    Love the energy of this girl & that she made this vid.
