"Don't hate the player, hate the game!" I'm hating on the game, so I didn't feel the need to call out the players. My rant might be more about YouTube and what it chooses to recommend. It's my fault because I thought it was an educational platform, and forgot it's more "show business" than anything. My fault. I'm mad at myself for forgetting that.
YouTube is about entertainment. But, I also have to remind myself that some of my best teachers were also entertaining. I don't think integrity, transparency, entertainment, and education are mutually exclusive.
I do get annoyed when I see misinformation spread. But, I don't know if you blame the YouTube algorithm for that or if you blame the people who chose to watch and subscribe? I don't know.
But here's an example. My rant video has about 12K views after one day. My interview with
@amirm from two years ago has 20K views.
https://www.youtube.com/live/B2AflXTTxgQ?feature=share I think my interview with Amir is more educational. But maybe it wasn't entertaining enough. I don't know. I thought it was.
That's all I really want to say. I made the video I wanted to make. I said exactly what I wanted to say. Some people wanted me to say specific names of people I think are the bad actors, but I chose not to. I'm not going to. If I wanted to, I would have. If my rant video would've gotten no views, I would be ok with it. It was for me to get something I've been wanting to say off my chest.
