I hate the actual content he produces - the first time I watched it, I kept thinking it's a trailer because of all the cuts and I wondered, where is the actual video, when I realized no, I am watching the actual video - but I have to commend the grind.

He is trully obsessive about getting the most views, almost soullessly designing the perfect viral content, caring about every second. He literally starts with the thumbnail and title and only then works out the rest of the video!

I also like this 2 years old video of visiting his studio. This guy literally sleeps in his giant studio, everything is super optimized.

Of course the end result is entirely pointless. But still. I respect the grind.

(I also love when he "builds 1000 houses in Africa" or whatever, and he usually never even mentions the country or the place name. It's not that important. But at least he does some good, I guess.)

It's just fast food content.

>>phito+h2
Yeah and I respect fast food chains in this regard. So, that makes sense.

>>phito+h2
except it doesnt even feed you

>>seydor+N5
Arguably neither does fast food - it gives you energy, but it's also quite bad for your health and your wallet. So, it feeds you, sure, but the negatives likely far outweigh the positives.

If you've ever cooked meals for multiple days with just some ground beef, cabbage and some lettuce and friends for ~10 bucks per day, you'll see how crazy expensive a $20 fast food ""meal"" is.

So this is fast food content, because it does entertain, but you could do many things to get good entertainment and also not consume absolute slop.

>>trustn+(OP)
Average Americans (his main audience) always visit "Europe" or "Africa", never mentioning a specific country.

>>phito+h2
There is a reason it's called "content", "content" for the mere "container" we've become

>>seydor+N5
Fast food aren't worth much nutritionally so they aren't much different.

In similar fashion, European students with a gap-year will go backpacking in Asia

Lol he didn’t build 1000 houses. 100 only. But also, I think many of the houses were rushed to build… so…

That sounds like standard goal-oriented planning. Amazon starts with the product's press release. "The Amazon working backward method is a product development approach that starts with the team imagining the product is ready to ship. The product team’s first step is to draft a press release announcing the product’s availability. The audience for this press release is the product’s customer."
