hi, I want to start a career as a youtuber by explaining code in python and for ML / AI. Has anyone had experience how difficult that is?

I've released my first video where I have tried to explain decorators in a fun way but I feel like I'm not doing a great job.. can anyone relate?
Should I stop if I'm not an expert?

Remember to:

  • Ask your Python question, not if you can ask or if there's an expert who can help.
  • Show a code sample as text (rather than a screenshot) and the error message, if you've got one.
  • Explain what you expect to happen and what actually happens.

:warning: Do not pip install anything that isn't related to your question, especially if asked to over DMs.

You shouldn't try to teach until you're knowledgeable and confident in your ability to write code and teach.

Maybe work on that first.

but that could take years..

Not with videos, but I do in forums and places like Discord.

thank you for helping me and others out, btw!
I want to help people aswell, I felt like some content was just too boring and I want to try to explain it in a more fun way

I practiced teaching on sites like Stack Overflow that are high traffic and filled with experts. That way, if I teach something incorrect, there's hundreds of people that can point out the problem. I think an issue with mediums like videos, and especially ones by small channels is there's no guarantee that experts will see any misinformation in order to correct it. There are far more beginners than experts, which means it's more likely beginners will see the videos.

I just think limiting the spread of misinformation is important, so you should be very confident in what you're attemting to teach.

Thank you a lot, I will consider my future ideas again..
