It's very telling that all of your links are either to instagram.com and youtu.be. Surprised tiktok isn't included, perhaps a reddit post would be good also?

Two of those YouTube links are to Patrick Boyle who is a very respectable and knowledgeable ex hedge fund manager who dives DEEP into the topic while remaining entertaining. It’s a hilariously outdated take to say that YouTube content guarantees a lack of value or authority.

Patrick B is also a finance professor and most of his presentations (generally) maintain a level of academic rigour.

he got into the youtube during covid because he was posting YT vids for his students, and they just kept sharing them with everyone; he just ran with it

also: he talks deliberately slowly for subtitle and non-english speaker purposes; use the settings to speed him to x1.25 or x1.5 speed


Who cares? Only people who are willing to give their DNA samples to meta and google can access those links anyway.

Of course, they'd also have to be willing to consume the content in the least efficient format imaginable.


And your argument is?

Why would there have to be one?

It should be very obvious what I'm doing here: I'm attacking their sources for being youtube and instagram

Input: “It was on YouTube/Instagram.”

Expected: refutation of claim.

Received: complaint about delivery vehicle.


Where did I say I was refuting their claim? Why would you expect that?
