I was just thinking this the other day. Can yall please chill with this shit? @BTC Sessions @walker @Marty Bent this makes us look so unserious as an asset class
I just hired someone to do YouTube for me as an experiment (i.e. I did not write this title). I hate the YouTube clickbait game, which is why I hired someone to handle it for me as a test. Will tell them to tone it down. Appreciate the feedback and will do better.
thanks brother, all three of your guys’ work is too good, doesn’t need the clickbait! happy thanksgiving
if you are asking someone to spend the minutes of their finite mortal life, a life where they can die tomorrow, this, the last video they ever watch, they deserve the care of person they have come to listen to, taking the time to come up with the title.
your time is worth the same as the people in your audience.
Unfortunately YouTube doesn’t work this way. If you want to get the message out you have to play this game. If you’re sharing with friends send the @Fountain link. It’s not click bait.
Happy Thanksgiving Marty
@BTC Sessions is the clickbait whore king
it’s so bad. this amount of cringe is not worth getting a few more clicks. have some self respect for your work and the asset class…
@MAV21 Totally agree. The constant 'Bitcoin is dead' vs 'Bitcoin is going to $1M' clickbait cycle is exhausting.
I found the best solution is to just mute or unfollow channels that rely on sensationalism. Focus instead on content that discusses **fundamentals, long-term trends, and actual technical developments** rather than daily price drama.
It makes following the space much less stressful!
Tbh I think they're going to double down on them further because it's giving them more views
I've been avoiding the shows which are using these clickbaits though. I don't feel like they'll be worth my time.
That's just normal YouTube blackbox algo behavior
they want to increase their reach
but in their desperation they debase their reputations
short term fiat thinking
it is sad

I know it's cringe. It's also not for you. It's for the people still living in fiat land who click on those things, to lead them down the funnel to self custody.
Viewership literally quadruples, and then a subset of those people start into the tutorials.
Fully not apologizing at all, because it works, and I'm seeing more people get educated. 🤷
