  • Decades of defunding and stripping down public education is now bearing fruit. We can thank right-wing political interests from both parties for the death of the US educational system. But this is what led to an overreliance on video as a news dissemination platform as people do not read much compared to other economies.

    Weimar Germany, by the way, was the best educated country in the world in the thirties. This is what made Nazi propaganda more effective: they were able to use propaganda campaigns to target vulnerable populations. We now know from Cambridge Analytica that this group exists in all cultures. The so-called “Average” group.

    Being ignorant doesn’t excuse their actions, but it explains their motives in a way that makes them more human. We’re all fallible, some of us more so than others. Look at it this way: it’s not a crime to be completely cut off from good news sources. There’s nothing evil in getting all your news from your church buddies or the people at work. Most news is negative anyway so people naturally avoid it.

    The people who control those groups are horrible human beings. Narcissistic, sadistic, nihilists. Unfortunately, liberal democracy does nothing to stop them from spreading their message to vulnerable groups.







  • Even fun videos get search traffic from random queries. A video about robots fighting each other will get traffic from people interested in “robots fighting”, “robots wars”, “robowars”, “armored core”, “Gundam series”

    When there are ai summaries for informational or navigational queries there will be fewer clicks because Google will pirate listicle sources of “best robots fighting each other articles”. This means they are stealing from older lists and newer videos will not get mentioned in the ai summary.

    This is because ai technology can’t judge the quality of a video.


  • Rfk made one good point: why are Americans so sick if what we’re doing is working? Then this dude blames one of the most effective public health programs in history.

    Clearly vaccines, one of the last vestiges of a robust public health program, which eliminated some of the worst plagues in the world, must be why we’re so sick. Swiss cheese tequila brain. 🪱🧠🍸

    Rfk used to talk a lot of sense but today he is a walking taking ad for vaccines. If not shooting vaccines ages my voice box 20 years ill take two shots of everything please
