Wow, John am I mistaken or did you spit in my eye after expressing genuine concern?
If you think setting up a YouTube channel requires any of the things you mentioned, you have no idea about what the platform is all about. None, zero, zilch, nada.
You are correct, all our hires were very young people, and to be honest, requires dedication, passion and knowledge of the absolute latest technologies. Your passion is less software, more so politics and global affairs - and this you excel at. I am not mistaken that you would be a poor fit. It would be drudgery to you and your interests would drift to politics and book writing. This is proven out by your resume timelines. You can object, but that matters less than the people evaluating your timeline and deciding whether to interview at all. Cultural fit in modern tech organizations is paramount, technical capabilities are secondary. If you don't believe this, you have not kept up with the current state of applications development. It has less to do with actual politics than dedication to the goals outlined by the organization. As an example, if a company said your concerns about network security were not a big deal and you needed to focus on getting some feature working, I believe you would object - to the point of blocking progress. Or you would snicker and sneer and give attitude like you did to me. That is why you do not fit anywhere. What you call "age discrimination" is more a function of not having the patience for cantankerous and crusty attitude and stubbornness, rather than number of years on Earth. There are plenty of older people at my company, but they are always dedicated to the company goals and solving problems as well as embracing the latest technologies and solutions. You also have to keep in mind your competition includes people under 25, highly intelligent, who have been coding since 7-8 yrs old, are "full stack" devs and who live and breath software 24/7.
Your perspective and frame is not one conducive to following instructions from people who you consider your inferior. This is the impression given by your own writings here as you berate politicians and financial "experts". I am not saying you are wrong, to the contrary, I think you have tremendous insight in these matters. But you are not suited to working for a corporation and "following orders". That's why I suggested YouTube where you could be your own boss and have total control over your destiny.
Anyway your "ha ha, you're a joke", laugh in my face attitude just proved my points above. Sorry to say the joke is on you, I am employed. I still would support you on Patreon, which again requires almost nothing for you to set up.
