Shadowing Practice: I won't make tutorial videos anymore. Here is what I will do instead - Learn English Speaking with Video

So I decided to stop posting any tutorials or AI content on my channel.

And in this video I want to share with you my thoughts why I'm doing that and what I will post instead.

You probably saw on YouTube that most developers who were posting tutorial videos stopped doing that after AI.

And there were lots of developers' channels and they either stopped posting completely or they started posting about something completely different,

like for example creating their own projects.

And the answer here is simple.

With AI people stopped using YouTube, for example, or courses in order to obtain knowledge.

It is much simpler to do that through AI.

And essentially my point of view that this is not always a best approach

because sometimes from one single big video you can grasp the whole understanding of some big feature like for example purchases.

But obviously in most cases AI is just enough for developers to fix their problems,

implement features and they don't need all these courses and tutorials anymore.

This is why developer tutorials on YouTube are essentially dead.

From all content creators that I followed, only one or two, which are really big one, continue posting, but even for them,

the views amount that they are getting is 3 or 5 times less.

Some of developers switch to post AI content instead of tutorials, but I find it quite boring, and it doesn't really bring a lot of views.

But the main problem here is the income.

Most developers who are posting on YouTube for their community have some courses or programs that they are selling.

And this is how they can support their family and continue producing content.

Because essentially, as you can understand, it takes lots of time to produce every single video.

And after AI came out and all people started using it, the amount of people who are buying my courses dropped significantly.

So it is not enough for me to continue doing what I was doing.

And additionally to that I don't think that doing tutorials make sense anymore if all people just don't need them.

This is why my idea for this year was to try something new and check different things using my experience.

And like a lot of other developers who were youtubers I looked on creating own projects because this is what makes sense.

You already have some skills of programming so building something uses your skills.

At the beginning of the year I tried mobile development

because I saw some posts on Twitter about people who have their own portfolio of small mobile apps.

It didn't go well because the problem there is the same.

The amount of mobile apps is significantly larger nowadays because of AI, so without good marketing it is extremely difficult to get some customers

and my applications got several purchases but nothing significant this is why after

that in summer i tried game development first of all

because it was always interesting for me and i spent countless hours playing games

when i was younger so my focus for the second half of this year is game development

and this is exactly the type of content

that you can expect on this channel further i won't post

videos two times a week it will be more like two times per month

so now I essentially work on my first game and I already had some decent progress.

Again, no design or game development experience before, just programming knowledge.

So I hope you will still like to follow my channel, even if it goes from the direction of tutorials more to creating and building stuff.

What is the Shadowing Technique?

Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
