Wait, so it locked grub out entirely or the bootloader repair thingy doesn't work anymore? D:

Nah, it's a scale from 100 to 0, so you're fine. That 99% Good up at the top is usually the best overall indicator.

Files that can't be read or fully read can also be caused by poorly written programs that don't edit or save them right or a number of other things.

My OCZ from 2012 has been used heavy and it's only at 95%. It also uses the "Good" rating; it's not exclusive to Samsung's thing.

What are you looking at that's saying your not fine?

I have the same model for the old system's 3rd drive (but I don't remember its values) and my understanding of SMART leads me to think you're alright. But, I can't speak to problems with individual model's lifetimes.

It's always a good idea to have backups even if it's healthy, though.

Oh come now, you didn't really think those tiny, wrinkled employees were elves did you?

Maybe try streaming games or something like that? There's lots of ways to put yourself out there without literally putting yourself out there. What sorts of things bring you joy that you could share with the world?

It's simple: the tutorial makers use video for their own benefit, not for the user's consumption. It's considerably easier to fire up OBS, run through performative steps, yammer off some basic explanations, and move on to the next monetizable video. Couple that with the unfathomable audience size and reach available on YouTube or what have you, and you have the inescapable gravity of the video tutorial.
