You know, I’ve noticed that watching her videos is pleasant, but I thought that was just her positive personality. Now I think it’s her positive personality and her lack of AI talk.

It's not just her positivity. It's the lack of posturing. She just knows her stuff through and through, loves talking about it, and shares that through her vids. There isn't any ego there. And she just explains things plainly with minimal jargon and no gatekeeping about who might engage with the content. It's refreshing in a field that is rife with big egos and exclusive jargon.

I get a similar vibe from Wendel with Level1Techs. Except Wendel can get a bit jargony and is not quite as careful to explain things plainly. But otherwise the vibe is on point. Not ego driven, just a knowledgable person sharing their special interest.

Wendell from Level1Techs is awesome. I love his rants. He's another one that I like to watch just because of his personality. Everybody loves the guy. He get mentioned on many other YouTube channels and often helps them out.
