Sure , I can definitely see some of those frustrations. I focus more on bigger picture though I think and empathize with the creator’s need to still be successful educating people in these fraught times. They have been doing intensive, high quality work for so long now, before the predatory slop era. But they have to exist in it, and know that they are a very plaugerized format through AI theft.

Their magic has always been making complex concepts approachable to the masses, and that is such a vital public service we all benefit from. Those lowest common denominator folks are increasingly lost to chaos though and there just isn’t a “right way” of how you adjust. So I look beyond the “wrapping” you mention and I feel that generally the content itself is still intact, powerful and very well made.

So basically, the click bait headlines/thumbs just aren’t for us, and they are indirectly asking us to understand that without them broadly giving away the strategy. Those tactics just get the kids with broken brains in the room and then maybe they can start to heal or be saved from the edge. Hope you can consider that.
