Very interesting. How long is the retention for each video? Which one gets people to watch longer?
I'm doing a little youtube algo clickbait experiment...
First video: full nostr:npub1a2cww4kn9wqte4ry70vyfwqyqvpswksna27rtxd8vty6c74era8sdcw83a conversation on nostr:npub10qrssqjsydd38j8mv7h27dq0ynpns3djgu88mhr7cr2qcqrgyezspkxqj8 with a positive, hopeful, optimistic, freedom tech-focused thumbnail and title, and smiling picture of Lyn.
TITLE: "Freedom Technology White Pill"
>> 3.3k views in two weeks
Second video: 5 minute clip of Lyn talking about the Fed/fiscal dominance. Aggressive thumbnail style with train of flaming dollars, Walter White poking out head, classic Lyn pfp.
TITLE: "NOTHING STOPS THIS TRAIN"
>> 2.4k views in two DAYS
CONCLUSION: the YT algorithm favors short-form doomporn over long-form techno optimism.
QUESTION: is it the algorithm? or is it people who crave short-form financial doomporn over long-form techno optimism? and people who feed the algorithm with their behavior?
