This was an incredibly frustrating video to make. I think it just goes to show how just because someone has a massive following -- they aren't always the most reliable sources for information. I don't understand the need to spread false information in order to have a personal gain. As creators and businesses in the industry -- invoking fear in others for views is just utterly wrong. To everyone. I hope this serves as a token of relief for anyone looking to make a career transition into software engineering. If you're learning how to code/looking to get a job. Don't let videos or people like this discourage you. Keep pushing on, and give yourself a massive pat on the back for how far you've come.

For further context -- this is the comment I left under his video upon watching it:
"This video just goes to show why some people shouldn't be making content in the tech space. Spreading this kind of false information can alter the way aspiring programmers think. You're essentially making people question if all the effort they are putting into this field is pointless. No amount of credibility gives you the right to strip people of their title as a developer, even if it is React development, people still went through an immense amount of work and effort to get where they are. You point out that people shouldn't learn how to code because it isn't what it used to be. Keep in mind that most people looking to transition into the tech industry aren't looking to become the next Mark Zuckerberg. They are looking to live a better and more fulfilling lifestyle, and by saying "to become a programmer -- is like becoming a janitor." You're taking away peoples aspirations and the hours/years of work they put into learning a skill like coding. My only wish is that people see this video as an example as to why just because channels have a massive following, doesn't mean that they are people you should look up to. You are strictly looking to make money off of this video -- and by doing so you are altering peoples minds with such a sensitive subject as this. If this sounds harsh -- that's the point."
