RE: Is Content Creation Past Its Prime?

in #dtube • 6 years ago

I think that a lot of stuff is 'empty' and doesn't move people forward. I still think there is potential on DTube for actual real science (as opposed to the fear-based conspiracy scam artist stuff that floods the crypto-sphere. Yes, I think that we've seen a lot of stuff and there is really nothing new under the sun. But I also think that people need go turn their devices off and go outside more.

    To me, it seems content creation goes something like this:

    1. Content is created by passionate individuals
    2. Some content becomes popular and lucrative
    3. Outsiders see this as an opportunity to benefit (money, fame, etc) and find a formula to replicate
    4. The space eventually is filled up with like minded people trying to exploit for personal gain.
    5. People get tired of seeing the same rehashed stuff that doesn't create any real emotional bond.
    6. Passionate people create content out of frustration of feeling empty and tired of all this crap.
    7. Rinse and repeat.

    Would you agree?

    Science is cool when it is presented by people that know what they are doing. What I don't like is when ignorant people that call themselves "skeptics" try to ride on the backs of the learned by regurgitating information (even if it might be correct) as a means to portray themselves as "rational" and "exposing others." The name Brian Dunning comes to mind. He has a whole podcast and youtube channel where he debunks popular myths which makes him look seemingly "scientific" but when confronted (i.e. by Joe Rogan), you see how irrational and ridiculous the things he ends up saying are.
