I've pretty much dropped all podcasts that don't engage significantly with their audience. It's more like being part of a conversation this way, just with some giving their thoughts audibly and others in writing.

Exactly!!

Being off YouTube these  past few weeks really clears the cobwebs. I am thinking of dropping podcasts as well maybe just listen to SN and Bitcoin opTech and fade everything else.

Get my news and ideas from people SN that seem to be humble and just want to help folks. And don’t depend on donations to make a living.

"I guess it's natural for humans to get drawn to this behaviour, just look at CNBC or bloomberg or the FT, it's all leeching off the happenings on fiat."

It's absolutely not natural. Content is trapped in the freemium hellscape of big tech. Influencers and producers need more more more to satisfy platform algorithms that extract most of the value.

In a better world payment and price signals value rather than likes, shares, and viewing hours.

This is the righteous path, and Bitcoin will build it.
