TheTwelveYearOld

Personally I don't watch videos on software (except for skimming tutorials) since I prefer to learn about topics with written tutorials or Reddit. Software influencers have been on the rise for the past several years, everything from grifters claiming they can help you start an SWE career, to ones that make tutorials and showcases on software.

I'm more interested in hearing about the later. I came across found this discussion: What can we learn from Neovim’s rise in popularity? : emacs, with comments claiming that Youtubers like ThePrimeagen have helped a lot with making Neovim popular. I crossposted it to r/neovim and many so far many users there said that they found Neovim through ThePrimeagen's videos.

Solved: It turns out I needed to add https:// to the redirect URL. I now edited the redirect to be this:

{
    "createdBy": "Redirector v3.5.3",
    "createdAt": "2024-12-25T00:25:04.487Z",
    "redirects": [
        {
            "description": "sh.reddit.com submission page",
            "exampleUrl": "https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/submit?selftext=true",
            "exampleResult": "https://sh.reddit.com/r/firefox/submit?selftext=true",
            "error": null,
            "includePattern": "https://.*?reddit.com/((r|u|user)/.*?/submit.*)",
            "excludePattern": "",
            "patternDesc": "",
            "redirectUrl": "https://sh.reddit.com/$1",
            "patternType": "R",
            "processMatches": "noProcessing",
            "disabled": false,
            "grouped": false,
            "appliesTo": [
                "main_frame"
            ]
        }, 
    ]
}

Using the Redirector addon, I wrote a redirect from a Reddit submit page to the new new Reddit submit page but it doesn't work when I go to https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/ and click "submit text", it just takes me to https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/submit?selftext=true despite the link working in the example box.

Reproduction: Install the addon, save the following as a json file, click on addon icons and select "edit redirects", then click import to select the json file.
