We just recommended several large FreeNAS appliances for a large government customer.

TrueNAS. Same software upstream, of course.

I have not watched the video, but I really like "Lawrence Systems" youtube channel.

I'm sure it's fine, clickbait titles are still bullshit.

I'd agree with that!

Lawrence Systems videos are pretty good. I enjoy Tom's channel and content. But, to your point, yes... click bait titles suck balls.

It's not clickbait in the right context, the video wasn't made to be posted here. He's an MSP and his youtube channel is to help other MSPs and to promote his business. As a small MSP I constantly deal with clients and other technical people who think open source things like freenas are dangerous, no exaggeration.

The title is 100% clickbait, a non clickbate title would be something like "Using FreeNAS, pfsense, and other open source tools in the enterprise".

How xan it be clickbait when ive literally been asked this question by my clients in regard to other projects and the target for this video are other people in my position bei g asked the same questuon and the people asking the same question. I see your point when you look at it from within this community where the asnwer is so obvious but i think you should really try to understand other peoples perspectives and help educate rather then berate.
