    I recently saw a channel called ChatCat. This dude summarises these videos in like 15 seconds, it makes you wonder how this guy talks about said topic for this long

      It’s actually impressive how much you can drag out a topic by saying “woah that’s crazy” followed by uneducated waffling on a topic you don’t know shit about but have some feelings on how it should be. Joe rogan even made a living off it.

        A billion years ago we figured out acquisition. Grab all the stuff.

        A million years ago we figured out language.

        Now we use language for acquisition. If we do that efficiently enough we can convert language to acquisition 100%. Which deletes all value from the language for us. But what a great business!

      Because all of these YouTubers are just tryna feed the stupid fucking algorithm. All of these clickbait shitpost videos can be summarized in 10 fucking seconds. But they create clickbait headlines and drag the video out to generate more traffic for their channels. Youtube is fucking aids.

        Have you ever tried to think that maybe there are people that enjoy watching long yap sessions? Clickbait def works but i doubt if penguinz gets unique viewers every single day.

      Looks interesting but woah those videos are a sensory overload. Could do without the music and vortex background and actually showing more than one thing on screen at a time. (is this what adhd people like? )

      I love their channel! Subbed at the first video. I’m more impressed when ChadCat shortens hours long videos int seconds of information. It’s impressive!
