Two of those YouTube links are to Patrick Boyle who is a very respectable and knowledgeable ex hedge fund manager who dives DEEP into the topic while remaining entertaining. It’s a hilariously outdated take to say that YouTube content guarantees a lack of value or authority.

Patrick B is also a finance professor and most of his presentations (generally) maintain a level of academic rigour.

he got into the youtube during covid because he was posting YT vids for his students, and they just kept sharing them with everyone; he just ran with it

also: he talks deliberately slowly for subtitle and non-english speaker purposes; use the settings to speed him to x1.25 or x1.5 speed

Who cares? Only people who are willing to give their DNA samples to meta and google can access those links anyway.

Of course, they'd also have to be willing to consume the content in the least efficient format imaginable.

And your argument is?
