In some Nostr posts from a while ago, I vented about how I hate YouTube's algorithm and how it incentivizes people to make sensationalist headlines and images.

Like, I'll do a serious macroeconomic interview with a great and well-informed host, and then when it gets published I see that the headline image is like a picture of the dollar exploding with me smiling next to it, along with a sensationalist text description, for the algo.

I hate that.

So I'm going to aggressively shill an example of the opposite. Someone doing it right. I did an interview the other day with an institutional investor and bitcoiner, who doesn't do that. He has normal headlines, and normal pictures, to talk about serious things. Robert Dewey.

Bob has basically gone out there and told YouTube's algorithm to fuck off. He has a small subscriber base, despite being a more informed interviewer than most, as a gray-hair institutional investor who also gets bitcoin at a really deep level. I've met him in person, and he's great.

So my shill for today is, go check out Bob's channel, and consider giving this interview or any of his other interviews a thumbs up. Let's be conscious regarding shitty algorithms, and highlight things that push back on them.

We are the fucking algorithm.

Belangp is a YouTube channel that is in the same vein as Bob’s. Non-bombastic thumbnails, deep insight on macro and monetary theory. Channels like Bob’s and Belangp are a breath of fresh air

I'm leading a discussion with teens soon about "What is the Truth?" It's more important now than ever. We're surrounded by so many people noisily trying to gain clout, likes, and follows. It's easy to think that how you get ahead in life. But it's all shallow and the success will ultimately feel hol...

We all need to do our part to fight against shitty algorithms, and the publishers who’ll sink to any depth to take advantage. Whenever I see a headline like β€œThis Asian city has just been named the #1 place for digital nomads,” or β€œWhy Lindsay Buckingham hated this band member,” I always b...

Lyn, so glad to hear you say this. It drives me nuts too and sadly the only advice I ever get is to drop some super slick thumbnails, A/B test some titles, use graphics and hook soemone within the first 5 seconds by using a soundbite clip. It's a nah from me. I literally upload the Zoom conversat...

Dont forget the guy that started the nostr protocol and his simps put tracking software, that sends ips addresses and browshing history of nostr users via njump dot me and nostr dot com. Glad to see some pushback on pervasive tracking all over nostr.
