Yeah, I do.

This is going to sound remarkably... simplistic, but I follow my own interests. Let me qualify that. When I see YouTubers, and you know way more about this than I do, when I see YouTubers, I've got a few friends who are big YouTubers like yourself, they'll tell me things like, I have to talk about this because this is what gets views. And At first, they didn't mind that.

I've got a friend who's a great journalist and he started a channel and he's really good at what he does. And then he did a video about, I think, Scientology and it got a lot of views. And then he did another video about Scientology and it got a lot of views. And then he did a video about Tom Cruise and Scientology and it got a lot of views. Then he did a video about something else and it was dead.

And he went, oh, I need to do videos about Scientology. But I really am getting sick of this topic. Maybe I'll do a video about other celebrity-related stuff. So he was like, well, I'm British. Let me talk about Harry and Meghan. And it got a lot of views. So he did another one about Harry and Meghan, and he got a lot of views. And I remember the text where he goes, I –

I absolutely want to ram my head through the wall knowing I have to do another video about Harry and Meghan. And he goes, but I'm also making like 10 times more money than I was doing this other thing that I really enjoyed. So with podcasting, there is no algorithm that you have to please. So I'll do a show with a guy who steals tanker ships back from dictators that commandeer the ship in a port.

And then the next episode is an episode with Ray Dalio about investing. And then the next episode is a dissident from China. And then the next episode is a celebrity that I'm interested in or a creator that I'm interested in. And since it's a podcast, an audio podcast primarily, people just see it in their feed and they download it and they listen. YouTube...

They don't even see that crap if they haven't clicked on the last one, right? So like my most popular video is a guy named Mossab Hassan Youssef, who actually Cesar Millan, the dog whisperer is the most popular, but Mossab is anti-Hamas. His father was one of the founders of Hamas and he speaks out against Hamas. That video got like 1.5 million views.

The next podcast I did was with an Israeli who is anti-Zionist. That did really well on my podcast feed. Guess how it did on YouTube? Not so good because I had this massively like Zionist audience listening to the anti-Hamas guy and the guy who was like pro-Palestine. Well, that didn't jibe well with the last viewers of the last video. So it was my most disliked video. My YouTube team goes, wow.
