@SocialtyPro The interview kinda makes me second-guess all the advice he gives in his videos now, so it makes sense why he would delete it from a business standpoint. It’s not just purely ego, but also how it affects his perceived authority.

Alex Hormozi deleted his Tony Robbins interview off YouTube. Think about that. He sat across from the biggest name in personal development in history. The guy who's been doing this since Hormozi was in diapers. And the interview was good. It humanized him. Made him feel less like a content machine and more like a guy still figuring things out. So he deleted it. Because his ego couldn't handle looking like a student. Couldn't handle Tony being the bigger name in the room. Couldn't handle not being the smartest guy on the thumbnail. This is the disease of guys who get rich too fast. They start believing their own highlight reel. Every interview becomes a performance. Every podcast a power move. Tony didn't need that interview. Alex did. And the second it didn't make him look like the alpha, it got memory-holed. The irony? That interview made him more likeable than 100 of his own videos ever did. People don't connect with the guy who has all the answers. They connect with the guy still asking questions. Ego is the most expensive thing you'll ever own. And Alex just paid full price.

@robertoblake @dennisleytonb For real, and driving

@dennisleytonb @Ramiroytoy Podcast are perfect for workouts

YouTube is placing AI SUMMARIES directly beneath thumbnails. This seems to function as an anti-clickbait measure for viewers. What do you think of this feature?

@dennisleytonb @robertoblake You are partially right as well. I'm 100% sure the AI "ask" feature under the video lowers average view duration. There are so many times where I just asked it to summarize a video and I got the same value without spending +10 minutes.

@Ramiroytoy @robertoblake You're right, I misread, I thought the summary was under the video while watching. Then yes, definitely fewer views. This will become one more factor in the CTR package to beat.

I think it does quite the opposite. It tells people what they're clicking to watch. So you'll only get viewers who are actually interested in the topics discussed, as opposed to people who will click the video and then leave after finding out they're not interested. So less quantity of views maybe, but more AVD.

@robertoblake Seems like this will make the retention go way low, especially for podcasts

@robertoblake It does the same thing as previewing videos when you hover your mouse over them. It makes sense, we make hooks and intros to convey to the audience what the video entails. The AI summary works the same as the intro, but before the click.

@michaelricks I always thought we should put dots instead of commas after making statements, but I asked chatgpt to analyze the first line of your message and it said it works too. Thanks for making me learn something new

@Ramiroytoy I had forgotten about ad blockers, thanks for the reminder, Rami. I'll start using one in order to do my part in assisting in the decline of YouTube as a platform.

People who use Ad blockers are indirectly contributing to the decline of YouTube as a platform. YouTube is an ecosystem that depends on advertiser dollars and also it's a meritocracy that incentivizes creators who generate ad revenue. Ad blockers = lower ad revenue = decline of content quality on the entire platform.

Hiring a long form YouTuber editor. Send this to the best editor you know!

Explains why making parodies of music videos was literally how I started my Youtube career. The nostalgia is nostalging, man.

The term "AI Slop" will soon lose it's meaning, because it's being misused. People are calling everything AI = low quality… even when real effort, creativity, and skill are involved. Meanwhile, the actual problem slips through: content that’s deceptive, mass-produced, and built to exploit attention. So, the question isn’t “was AI used?” It’s: Was this made with intention… or just generated?”

@Justsimplyrob_ @DramaAlert Some people just willingly want to die early

@DramaAlert Idk what sensible person would willingly smoke cigarettes anyways. It’s smells like shit and there’s no benefit to you.

The United Kingdom has officially approved a lifetime smoking ban for individuals born after 2008.

@ItsFunfact Creators have the freedom to persue what they love regardless of whether or not AI content floods YouTube.

Incredibly important that this gets as many eyes in the content sphere as physically possible. YouTube has been filled with AI channels killing authenticity on the platform and in turn driving away creators from being able to pursue what they love.

I was just trying to make the point that viewers should be the ones who decide what to watch based on which videos they think are better. Right now YouTube is a meritocracy, all videos are equal (in terms of AI vs Human made) So is it really YouTube’s job to artificially nerf AI assisted videos if it will lead to less meritocracy/viewer satisfaction?

@Ramiroytoy @MarioJoos That's implying viewers overall prefer AI made content over human made content?

I need your attention, just once. For the sake of protecting human creators.

@ZenithhTweet @izzybeamon The same one in the image

@Ramiroytoy @izzybeamon in what niche?

This Arabic animation channel is PRINTING 8 of their 11 videos have over 100k views Honestly I think other languages are just less competitive I'm really considering starting some channels in other languages There's endless possibilities here fr

@nexlevio 3.5m views in Arabic = $1500

Underrated ideation method: Find viral formats in other languages, and make them in another language. This Arabic channel took proven formats from an English channel and re packaged them in Arabic. 67 videos 36K subscribers 3.5M views All in 8 months

@coryaslan There are already more realistic versions of these lol youtube.com/watch?v=4ro7MX…

These videos are exploding on Youtube this year. Very clever usage of ai. They create these Ai debates with digital models and voiceovers for various topics: Believer vs Atheist, Capitalist vs Socialist ... With ai advancing, we will see more realistic versions of these

@ashnichrist I've never tried streaming before, but I've devoted my life to creating content. If you think you can help, I'd love to talk!

Pay attention to what MrBeast is doing right now. 50 top streamers, $1M prize. He filmed the whole thing, released the video yesterday but then cut the ending... The finale is a livestream today Chat controls the final game. He gives $1K to a random viewer every minute, but you have to be there He just used an edited video as a trailer for a livestream. The video was the ad, the stream is the product He's my thesis in action: AI is flooding content platforms. It can generate videos, thumbnails, scripts, entire channels... But live is where trust gets built. You can't fake your way through a real-time show. There is credibility you can't manufacture in post, and AI definitely can't generate it And when chat is choosing the game and shaping the outcome, those people aren't viewers... They're a community with a shared experience Live is a moat. MrBeast is pivoting to streams because it's the only format that gets MORE valuable as AI makes everything else cheaper This is about to blow up DM me if you want to move on live before everyone else figures it out

@ZssBecker Can it be audiobooks?

If I could give you one success life hack. And trust me. I literally have a hyperbaric healing chamber in my house. I take life hacks seriously. If I could give you one tho. It'd be this. Grab a bunch of epic fantasy books as thick as your head. Replace all your TV and social media time reading them. Your brain will slowly start to work again. The focus from reading the thick ass wordy books will slowly put it back together. Sanderson. Abercrombie. Gaimman. Pierce Brown. Great places to start. Replacing this as your main time wasting hobby will give you absolutely crazy returns when it comes to actually making money. The focus you gain will make you lethal.
