Message: [QUOTE="Yousef, post: 10888, member: 963"] Yup the algorithm is not very nice about this. Also I’ll highlight my own hypothesis as to why videos like this are so spread out (beyond what’s already said in this thread): 1- false pretense of professionalism: the idea that being professional is being as dry as possible when it’s just being seasoned and experienced. It’s easy for really young writers (at least I presume most of these YouTubers are just sophomore college students) to think that’s how they should sound like without the substance to back it up. “I will be dry and non-witty so I’ll sound really smart” 2- the opposite issue exists where once they get “personal” they abandon all forms of professionalism and turn the video into an auto biography no one asked for. “Everything started…. When my life started. And once that happened, I fully realized the meaning of… starting” 3- discourse fatigue: this one is not really their fault but you owe it to yourself to realize when something you said in a 3 hour vid was said a million times and could be said in fewer minutes [/QUOTE]
