No.
I really dislike the trend of creating movies instead of writing articles. Articles are so much better. I cannot easily consume, keep track, and revisit movies.

But don't let this stop you from doing what you feel like doing. Unless you directly negatively affect people you should not have to ask for permission to do things you want to to do. And sometimes you simply have to do things people had no interest in. Maybe they didn't know they were interested.

do it

Thanks. This is awesome. I agree that articles are easier to consume than videos. Articles can read almost anywhere while videos require more specific circumstances to watch them. Plus, referring back to an articles is easier.
I think with the content that I want to create video is a better format as it would be more like a journal of my experience and not directly technical. But, if I do create technical stuff it would be good to include materials with the video to make referring back to the video for the examples easier.
Thanks again for your thoughts. I appreciate it!
