I definitely admire the integrity and the effort.

But, economically speaking, you get what you incentivise for: if you can game the system and get the click/eyeball ratio, then they're going to do that.

    Yeah, I’m just saying that some exceptions break through. Some YouTubers make content that is so good that people outside of YouTube consistently share the shit out of it. They don’t need the click bate for the initial boost, they get the boost from sharing off the platform.
