The coffers leaking doesn't matter when lobbyists fill them back up every night
Why do female chimpanzees prefer to play with human dolls more than male chimpanzees if it's not a DEEP GENETIC DRIVE?
There was a (uploaded to TikTok) video I saw where this guy had 18 followers on YouTube, and just was not getting any kind of traction at all. I mean some traction but not much -- only 18 followers! Was about to quit. Then all of a sudden he got contacted by Oprah Winfrey's people about hosting a TV show about the ideas that he talked about in his videos.
It turns out that one of the 18 followers he had on YouTube was Oprah Winfrey's hair stylist, and Oprah was talking to her about this project she was trying to get started, and the stylist mentioned this one YouTube account she loved who was all about that topic, and the rest is history.
Every single person who watches your video is a unique human individual, and magic can happen from just one spark, from just one person!
1. Search engines are getting less good at ranking bad content below good content
2. The good content is getting worse. So bad, in fact, that it looks like bad content.
It may be a little of both. I lean towards 2, though. It’s kind of a race to the bottom in terms of jamming your page with ads, buzz words, and popups these days.
Generally speaking, the web doesn’t have great results for e.g. product recommendations. Part of it is because of how centralized the internet has become.
The best you can do a lot of the time is to just serve mostly Reddit results. But even that can be gamed.
but GREAT content on an absolute numbers level is rising every single year
excepting the death of good content through attrition and entropy good content only goes up unless we're all dead
it's just discovering good new content is difficult, especially when you're a sclerotic barnacle tied to legacy interests of all stripes!
they need to get a better distro -> store pipeline
and they need amazon-like lockers in their store to order online and pickup in store 24/7
i'd never use amazon again!!
