>Both methods are about gaming YouTube instead of creating quality content. If you scrape away the abstractions for a second, what you will find is Mr. Beast used data to tailor his videos to get his viewers to watch lots of ads and buy lots of products and love his videos and become repeat customers. Mr. Beast is rather transparent about all of this. If you think he’s a creepy manipulative guy, you just don’t watch his content. The whole thing with buying engagement is that you’re confusing the signal. Instead of coming through the legitimate channel where you openly pay for advertising, you intentionally deceive people, you make it just a little bit harder for the poorer and unconnected to achieve social mobility, you pollute a useful signal with false data, and you do a large number of things which annoy netizens in particular. All I’m just saying, is that there’s more than one path to be successful. I know people who used cert dumps on the pretence that everybody else is doing it and they won’t put themselves behind, and I know others who literally just did the work and it really didn’t take THAT long in the grand scheme of things and they actually came away having learned something useful at the end of the day. Both kinds of person succeeded.
