I think of this every time I come across one of those motivation videos on youtube. It'll have like twenty million views, how many of those people actually took it to heart?
- babuskov 10y agoNodding your head to such video is easy. Actually doing it takes way more effort. Although, I think those millions of views come from people who were lured into watching those by smart marketing message that basically laid out their problem(s) and promised it can be solved "with one simple trick". Number of views only shows that many people share the same problem.
- spdionis 10y agoWhich reminds me of TED talks which are pinnacle of "fakeness" and bullshit in our society. Well, most of them at least.
- zippy786 10y agoCouldn't agree more. Just selling the "Wow" factor. In reality, most talks are baseless, same with startups. Some do manage to make millions just by selling the "Wowness". A whale buys the product and dumps it.
