To summarize: Whenever a Context provider's state changes, Context will cause a re-render to all the components (parent or child) consuming that context (which CANNOT be controlled). This is exactly the behaviour expected when prop-drilling is done. On the other hand, Redux will cause (dispatch) re-render to only those components which are ingesting a certain value (selector) from the store.
[ A caveat to this is that the same behaviour of Redux can be induced into Context as well, by having different contexts (ProContext and ConContext). You would have to manually write different contexts, so that one context's state change would not cause re-render to a component consuming a different context. Redux does the same out-of-the-box]

TLDR: Is the project big and state is ever changing ? Use Redux : Use Context

after 2 months using usecontext i just realized the everything re-render stuff, well you cannot notice any performance change if your app is simple and rarely use states, but for a big app this is a serious matter

Amazing tutorial, short and sweet. What I wanted. Thanks my friend :)

[andreo]

incredibly easy explanation, probably the best one I've seen

[febobebo]

Can't we just use useMemo with Context API and prevent unnecessary renders as well?

It would be nice to have the screen just bigger - hard to see

[danielzambrano]

Solid video, needed the comparison. You should increase the videos size and reduce the size of your face cause thhe code font was small.

Nice bit of knowledge for newcomers, great delivery

[clebhosh]

[akshaysanthosh]

Don't add background music when speaking bro

[ChillAutos]

Should definitely work on talking to the camera just not reading off a script. It was really jarring. Otherwise good video.
