Tried using StackOverflow back in my college days and was confronted by a barage of people practically telling me I am stupid fuck in subtle and not so subtle ways. I am sure people on there being rude and demeaning didn't help their case.
Well... were they correct? Did you graduate?
Graduated summa cum laude...no thanks to them. I dedicated my degree to all the random Indians who had STEM related topics on youtube. Those guys dragged my ass throguh college for sure.
This is the most relatable thing I've read all week. No way in hell I would have graduated had they not dragged me by my feet screaming through the math courses. For all of YouTube's faults, those videos are true gems.
I also ended up relying quite a bit on random old lectures from professors who can actually teach. No idea what schools they were lecturing at, but I wish the one I was at had more professors like them. Instead, they were all research professors who were being forced to lecture (or grad students in the same boat).
