+# Sharing Emacs is Caring Emacs: Emacs education and why I embraced video

+
+My YouTube Emacs series, "Straightforward Emacs," started as a quick video to
+share with one person. That video now has over 50 thousand views, and inspired
+me to do my part and give back to the Emacs community, creating what I wish I
+had when I started my journey.
+
+150,000 views later, I still find my YouTube channel one of the most
+fulfilling things in my life at the moment (despite the fact that I am very
+busy and don't have so much time for videos these days), because it is my way
+of giving back and sharing Emacs with a wider community.
+
+In addition to the technicalities of video production and teaching Emacs, this
+talk will also address two crucial topics in our community &#x2014; a love of Emacs
+and desire for its longevity, and spreading Emacs to new users.
+
+In particular, I will discuss my views on the sharing of information in the
+Emacs community &#x2014; how we do it, what it does for us, and how we can do it
+better.
+
+People often complain about the Emacs learning curve. As we all know, Emacs is
+a beast, and those who use and love Emacs spend years tweaking, adjusting,
+modifying, and, above all, learning. Because at the end of the day, Emacs is a
+personal journey. Everyone has preferences, searching for what makes them most
+comfortable, happy, and productive. Still, I believe that we are stronger
+together than we are apart. One of the best ways to find out what we like is
+by seeing what other people like. What's important is that what other people
+like, other people can understand.
+
+I hope you'll come check out my talk, and that it will inspire you to do one
+of the most honorable things one can do: teach and share with others.
