Great initiative! I’m curious what is the reasoning behind this:
Recorded university lectures and recorded conference talks are forbidden.
Do you find that you get no learning benefit from these things? If so this would explain why also you’re not allowing didactic youtube channels (Kurzgesagt, 3blue1brown, CGP grey...)
To nitpick, I wouldn’t say I get “no” learning benefit from these things. The learning rate from university lectures and recorded conference talks is simply too slow to justify the time investment. As for didactic YouTube channels, I believe they help some (most?) people learn but for me the holistic negative effects of these channels outweigh the educational benefit I get from them. This is too bad because I find 3blue1brown and CGP grey to be both informative and entertaining.
