"bread and circuses" or "labor and effort"? What do you choose?

👁 Not so long ago, I came across an interesting article about Mikhail Titov, the author of the channel "about investments". In his videos, he was not lazy, and collected an archive of economic news releases for almost every day, starting from September 18, 2007 and ending on may 27, 2009. Next to it, he put a chart of the S&P500 index for each of these days. It turned out to be quite a boring video, with a total duration of more than 10 hours, but ... this video helped me personally generate a lot of interesting ideas, and refrain from hasty actions. But the most interesting thing was that it got a maximum of 20,000 views (twenty thousand). While another, more "useful" in my opinion, video about adult men who hit each other in the face with their palms has gained 20,000 views (twenty million!) "Stone faces, Hach's diary.

🏋️‍♂️ It turns out that information that can bring you profit, or at least help you save your capital is less interesting than entertaining and useless time spent? Okay, let's say it was really difficult and boring to watch. But do you think that if Mikhail Titov had shortened his video 100 times and left only the conclusions and the most interesting ideas, that the video would have been no more than 15 minutes long, as in "Hach's Diary", do you think something would have changed? I don't think so, and I've learned that from my own experience.

✍ This is from the beginning of may 2020 I began to publish articles on one of the sites where you can see the statistics of hits. I shared my trading ideas, which were published in advance and could bring a good profit. But I noticed that articles about the failures of other managers, or reviews of books, gained at least 10 times more views. Personally, I have made conclusions for myself, but as for you? Do you think that articles and videos of a successful trader can be more popular than articles and videos from entertainment channels?

As usual, links at the end, or in the comments, that would not delete the post (not everywhere possible).
