Hi everyone,

I'm 20 years old and currently pursuing a B.Sc. in Computer Science. Recently I've become interested in cybersecurity, but I'm completely new to the field and trying to figure out whether it's the right career path for me.

A few things I'm wondering:

Is cybersecurity really as difficult as people make it sound?

Does it involve a lot of coding, or is coding only a small part of the job?

How stressful is the work compared to software development?

Do you enjoy your job, or do you sometimes regret choosing cybersecurity?

What type of person tends to do well in this field?

If you could start over, would you still choose cybersecurity?

I enjoy learning about technology and solving problems, but I'm worried about spending months learning cybersecurity and then realizing I don't actually like the day-to-day work.

I'd especially love to hear from people who are currently working as security analysts, SOC analysts, penetration testers, or in any cybersecurity role.

Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m planning to start a YouTube channel based on horror/creepy Reddit stories (like nosleep, real encounters, etc.).

I had a few questions before I start:

1. Is this niche still profitable in 2026, or is it too saturated now?

2. Can I narrate the stories in my own voice, or do most creators use text-to-speech for a reason?

3. Is there any copyright issue if I use stories from Reddit? Can I directly make videos from them, or do I need permission from the original authors every time?

4. If I modify or retell the story in my own way, does that make it safe to use?

5. Any tips to stand out in this niche?

I’m planning to stay consistent and build this long-term, so any honest advice would really help.

Thanks in advance.
