Questions
Which Blender Guru video does Hacker News recommend most?
"Money doesn't interest me" - Ton Roosendaal 2017 Interview: recommended in 8 different months by 7 HN users between 2018 and 2025.
Is this every Blender Guru video?
No. Only videos that at least three different HN users linked, in at least three different months, with at least a sentence of their own commentary. That filter is what makes the list useful.
