I don't normally do these kinds of videos, but I've decided to chime in for once. There are plenty of great responses by other people here about this tag, so please check them out! You can find some in the links and resources section below.

I guess I should also add the trivial disclaimer here that what I say in this video is just my personal opinion. Please feel free to let me know your thoughts as well in the comments :)

p.s. please excuse my chatty cats in the audio background!
