    I know this video didn't get as many views as the more catchy ones you've been making. But for the people in the space that are taking this stuff seriously, the value in these type of videos is crazy. I definitely hope you keep making this type of content. Keep up the great work Liam. :)
  • Liam, this video is absolute GOLD!!! In the youtube MMO space there are 2 types of creators; Entertainers and educators - there are the videos made to entertain and get views, and the videos made to actually educate people. This shows us you actually want us to succeed, and you're not just trying to make money from us by selling a dream. Thank you. keep it up my man.

    You will be cheating yourself if you don't continue to make videos like this - I love the chip on the shoulder, no bs and upfront honesty. I don't know you personally but I would be confident in saying this is who you are most of the time away from the camera. Feels like theres a whole new kind of ego out there with AI and seeing you cut down the fluff and be real is more refreshing than you can imagine. And honestly, I feel more inclined to have you as a number 1 resource with this video than any you've done before.
  • @sophiajmc
    Great info in this! I like this style of vid because I feel like I can actually hear you talk, if that makes sense. Keep making no bs content like this!šŸ‘
  • @AnnaMalmberg2
    Hi Liam, just wanted to say thanks for the excellent rundown on prompt engineering. The way you broke things down and shared your knowledge was really enlightening. I'm excited to put what I've learned into practice. Really appreciate your time and expertise!
  • @Amrscanners
    I can't believe you are really doing this for free. Thanks for such free valuable content. Please keep up producing such a kind of content.

    Great video Liam, I like the format too!
  • @jaumeboix4907
    Liam, what a masterclass. First of all, thanks for sharing all of this. It has helped me to add new tools in the toolkit and reinforce what I was doing well. Also, please keep doing this type of videos. I love the no BS, raw and straight to the point approach. There is too much hype and you can separate yourself and stand out as a more authentic an genuine authority by showing your true self. Thanks again and keep this up mate!
  • You are a role model for a lot of us! Thank you for this valuable information Liam
