So there's this YouTube channel called Android Developers from Google. They release videos there like fresh short Compose Tips. They essentially look like a continuation of the MAD series, but thank God at least this time without such a pompous name, otherwise I felt not quite modern.
I'm clearly not on the same wavelength with the target audience of all such videos. Content is not for me, ok, that's clear. Apparently, it's for some generation of visual zoomers.
I can't shake the feeling that the price of this beautiful production with delicious animations, pleasant studio picture, and working time of expensive Google employees just doesn't match the benefit of an incomplete retelling of one page of documentation.
Moreover, the documentation is good, look here. Also nice pictures and animations. You can search through it. It's many times easier for Google themselves to update, which is especially important when you're showing an experimental feature. In the video, by the way, it wouldn't hurt to mention this either.
If we talk about benefits for beginners, then for comparison on the same YouTube some conditional Lachner does the same thing on his knee much more productively, more extensively, and with more emphasis on practice. If they wanted to bring benefit, they would give money to these guys instead. And this is rather just another channel for promoting and spreading their, sometimes dubious, recommendations. Nothing new.
