I feel you..

so they are not real friends. mine respect me.

I feel you… some of those titles are straight-up facepalm material!

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

Happy Thanksgiving Marty

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.

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…

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!

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. 🤷

heads-up: we looked for a lightning address on your profile but could not find one... u can get a free one at https://rizful.com ... and then reply back to this comment so we can zap you.

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
