Doug i know you think “Big D” might like sound good branding, but i dont think it makes you look good

About the change to YouTube views, immediately what comes to mind is “impressions” on X. Everyone knows those are inflated. You literally just have to scroll past one post quoting another post and supposedly both posts “made an impression” on you. A second order effect is that the algorithm can place a post in front of you and create an impression regardless of whether you’re at all interested in said post. The platform doesn’t just suggest what you could engage with but can create engagement out of thin air this way. You don’t need to read the post or even click on it in order to see the full text. On YouTube it’ll mean hovering your mouse over a thumbnail (which play a video preview) will now always count a full view. I don’t know if there’s any real pressure or if YouTube just doesn’t like being number mogged, but in my mind they’re moving to be more in line with the “impressions” system which creates mega inflated numbers, and gives the platform more control over where they are sending metrics, beyond just an algorithm which still depends on the user clicking and watching. By controlling the algorithm, YouTube will now have more direct control over metrics. Sorry for writing an essay.

Hey you guys should try to have Melody Wright on the podcast to talk about housing affordability. I know Atrioc has featured her on Big A but there have been some developments since then. Specifically on the land cycle and its impact on her thesis. Also she could talk about the impact of AI data centers as a treat for doug. Thanks for the show guys :)

Could be hard to handle, but I'm confident you could ride out the Big D until it settles down.

Hi guys I hope this reaches you, because I'm really curious about it. I work in the space/rocket industry and we are on the verge of the next space race (like next 2-3yrs) with China and building a moon base. As well as growing tensions for war causing the needs for satellites and launch vehicles. Which would leave me to believe there's a large need for this industry. Although looking at the market and overall government decisions there seems to be a negative sentiment or lack of interest in this area. I would really like to hear your guys opinions on why this is and your impressions on the space race with China.

Holy shit- separating MMR is a classic medical scam. This is the exact thing that was pushed in the original MMR scare that started the anti-vax movement. That paper that Doug mentioned was made in an attempt to prove that MMR caused a "rare new bowel disease" that caused autism. In actuality the paper was made to get people to take MMR separately, so that vaccine manufacturers could make more money. Additionally so that a lawsuit could be filed against MMR manufacturing companies to generate more profit. All this was reported on by Brian Deer, it's extremely fascinating to me. Anyways, I'm not surprised we're being scammed again 🤗

Really shows how broken this administration is where even DC, the place where the president lives, won't follow the new vaccine reccommendations

One thing that wasn’t brought up with the youtube views is how the autoplay also counts as a view. This means if you hover over or wait on a thumbnail for 1 second and scroll by, because the video autoplayed for at least one frame that counts as a view. imo obviously absurd but ultimately pointless and makes no real impact on creators given you can still view “engaged views” in the advanced tab.
