Voices like that must have a big impact on success, right? Both on youtube and for podcasts

This guy is a natural born educator. 'Content creator' doesn't begin to describe his value to society.

"Content creator" is like calling a good cook "grub producer". I don't understand why youtubers themselves keep using it. Content is the emptiest word (and we shouldn't use it like that IMO).

It's pretty accurate. Most videos exist just to be passively consumed, like the person you're responding to who listens to it while doing chores.

Probably because they see all the data behind the scenes and know how the sausage is made with respect to what brings in $$. Capturing the attention of humans is just a psychological manipulation exercise. We're mice being given dopamine injections on a regular schedule

It's too nasal for my liking. Somehow detracts from the rigor that's there.
