Yeah, this article oozes of "we need to create content that gets eyeballs and backlinks to market our website/product", which unfortunately is all too common these days.

Next time someone tries to find youtube channels for programming, they will end up on this list, rather than finding some real recommendations by real persons.

The "author" of this article is even "Team Codegiant", it's a red flag when no real person wants to put their name on content. Which is especially funny since throughout the article the author refers to themselves in first person.

Team is used when the company takes credit for the work of the individual.

But yeah seems like an SEO grab.

Would love if Google changed their algorithm just to screw all these companies who have the resources to dedicate to SEO perfection.
