Wealth concentration on the twitch model is worse than paying a company. A company does trickle down some of the profits to it's employees. Vs one person on twitch.
Then you have the wisdom pov. This money is going to somebody who is most likely less wise, mainly due to age and lack of education and experiences. The quality of the content that is being rewarded and wether its a good influence for society or for the minds of the young consumers is also highly questionable.
Just pop open the YouTube home page and then think about what someones mind will be made up of if they consume that linkbait garbage for a considerable amount of time. Then add the echo chamber effect of the internet.
It's not a pretty sight. Yet here we are.
As a simple heuristic. Look at the view count of the noble minds video vs SSSniperWolf.
start riding you bike to work, after work or other times/places, don't eat before 11 or after 7/8, drink lots of water, kick the sugar/beer, eat some more veggies, go to sleep around 10, done!
Not being jacked up on sugar and caffeine can help tremendously.
I would still like to see some studies which delve into whether sugar and caffeine are catalysts for biasing us towards system 1 and how they affect system 2, mindfulness, patience, etc...
I agree. This encourages segregation, which if i remember correctly was a pretty big issue in America. Who would have thought that a movement to treat people more equally has offspring ideas which cause more segregation. What a joke. This is just a greedy attempt to capitalize on the divide in the US and profit off it. How very American of you to put profit against society's current landscape. Carry on. However maybe, just maybe you should focus your efforts on an idea that is more integrating vs divisive.
What's next? Here are a few ideas:
The NBA channel for white people and please only white basketball players on the teams
Track and Field channel for asian people with only asian athletes on the teams
Chess for dogs channel with only dogs playing chess, poor cats they are not allowed to play chess on this channel
Landscaping for black people with only black landscapers on the shows
What i like about the porn industry is there are many sub-genres within it, so one could argue that this BlackOakTV is an attempt at a subgenre. However at a time like this in the US... You know, Edward Bernay's was right in his book Propaganda, create a suggestive environment and people will buy what ever the environment suggests and they will think it was their own idea for wanting to buy it. But who knows, maybe the equality and diversity crowd really is screaming inside for more segregation and preventing all sorts of freudian slips from surfacing.
Actually i have a better idea for the chess dogs, let's only have dalmatian dogs playing chess and keep golden retrievers from enjoying any media attention while playing chess on this channel. This will lead to great narratives in the minds of the niche consumers and dalmatian ownership will skyrocket along with chess board sales.
Anyone want to give me funding?
Good luck with it regardless. More friction in the market means someone is making money. Let it rip.
I like to think there is no difference between what is labeled as misinformation and any commercial or advertising we all have been consuming since we could open our eyes.
The marketing industry regularly contributes to peoples decline in health on a regular basis among other things.
ex: All the sugar water or cigarettes we have been ingesting across generations because we have seen some commercial that told a good story, promised a certain association or feeling with the product in question. Let's face it, misinformation is what drives our economy.
Education on marketing tactics coming to a neighborhood high school near you soon.
Marketing is the drug and it's tactics are suddenly running out of control so now we want to jump on our pedestal and cry "bring on the reigns". What hypocrisy!
I want to get dropped into an active volcano when I go. The heat is already there so no need for a furnace or manufacturing of a coffin. I guess the helicopter ride would be the greatest emitter.
In the future people won't even look at each other anymore. It will be taboo.
