I really dislike social media algorithms and incentives. Negative stuff is what sells.

There are so many times where I sit down with a good host and have a thoughtful discussion about macro finance, and then the Youtube title and thumbmail that their producer makes is some version of me smiling next to a terrible headline and often something on fire or blowing up.

To be fair, these thumbnails make me want to watch it, unlike Netflix's thumbnails that make me want to keep looking for something more exciting to watch.
