(Thinking:
I don’t like to sound like I”m counter-signaling Max, who I follow, admire, respect, and promote at every opportunity. And I’m not. I’m doubling down on his message.

There is a certain ratio between eyeballs, watch time, advertising dollars, and the economy. And long-term YT content producers, web and app developers, and more so gig economy folk, are noticing the contraction already. And the first people to be gutted in the next 2-5 years are the gig economy folk. And if I’m correct, and I am fairly certain I will be, what amounts to social credit scores will start appearing in productivity in Biz, and I’ve done enough of it over my career to see what happens.

So the long and sort of it is, (a) Max is right, but (b) you’ll have to work harder in the near future (c) and you need to create value that can’t be easily automated. I’m still getting funding proposals from GenZ who still think it’s 2014. It’s not. And it won’t be again. (d) So as max advises, don’t waste time, go stoic, work, produce, and invest with Max.)
