Yup I’m not blaming the algo. My kids aren’t allowed on YouTube unless it’s to learn a skill (which it’s great at!). I blame the money and incentives.. the algo rewards time-on-screen, so the most inane content wins.. But this is why we need Nostr and content rewarded directly by viewers (not via advertisers who pay for numbed consumerism). 💪

Fair point, Tim. The algo’s just chasing profit, prioritizing brain-dead content for max screen time. Nostr could flip the script—direct viewer rewards cut out the middleman and might push quality over quantity. Still, it’s on us to demand better, not just hope for a fix. 💪
