Just read ALGOSPEAK by Adam Aleksic and this bit, while not new, still hit hard. "my videos will only go viral if I present things through cohesive, confident narratives. The trial-and-error process has repeatedly taught me that simple stories do better numbers than complex ones." Pretty bad!

photo of text from ALGOSPEAK reading:

the constraint of a minute, and too much nuance can be confusing to viewers when you're trying to retain their attention. This means that creators have largely eschewed complexity in favor of virality.

I often feel frustrated that my videos only perform well when I push a single angle to my story. Etymology is often a messy thing that can't be neatly packaged into linear explanations; sometimes words aren't related but still influence each other, and other times origins are uncertain. Neverthleless, my videos will only go viral if I present things through cohesive, confident narratives. The trial-and-error process has repeatedly taught me that simple stories do better numbers than complex ones.

The human brain really likes simplicity, and algorithms appeal

A deadly shooting at the CDC shook its scientists. Now they want answers from RFK Jr.

NASA is more than rockets and moonwalks. NASA is behind much of our everyday technology. From space discovery, to Air Jordans, to CAT scans, NASA has played a role. We get it all on less than a penny of every federal dollar. Now their science may be gutted by 50%. #NASADidThat
