Left this comment on a big channel’s video shredding Bitcoin with all the outdated myths conflating it with crypto. Hodling and circlejerking in our communities isn’t enough. We each have to tirelessly champion Bitcoin and educate the public with patience and kindness. Video link in instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/DUoSKyfkgBK/

MPU is pure socialist slop. There's nothing of value on that channel. It's just leftist populist rage bait. And the videos I've seen where I actually know about the topic were flat out disinformation, similar to what you experienced here. It's not an honest outlet trying to identify real underlying problems. It's a large scale political slop operation.

Sometimes you gotta accept that using the wrong tool can still lead to a desired outcome. They fight against industries and corrupt practices harmful to the public. Do you have recommendations that you think do a better job?

An ally is no use in a fight if they are shooting the wrong direction. Most videos are about singling out a company and blaming their greed. They never look at the underlying reasons to why they got to that position. They don't look at the regulatory capture preventing competition. They just pretend it's a fact of life that the company has 100% market share, say that it will forever be that way (even though we have seen many examples of large companies losing to newer competitors), and present the solution as a new law from one of their politicians that specifically bans one of the things the company does. An example of a better creator is Louis Rossmann. He has a fraction of the reach of MPU, but he has far more impact and has directly affected legislation to increase freedom. He calls out specific companies when they do evil shit, he runs a tech repair business so he focuses a lot on that side, but actually knows what he's talking about. He knows why businesses leave NYC, because he was one. The MPU video literally pinned the struggle of the entire restaurant industry on Sysco, which I can personally tell you is bullshit. And the most important thing is that at least he is honest, when you know MPU isn't.

Never saw it way thanks for explaining it. They definitely don’t get deep enough to cover underlying reasons all the time, but I suspect that’s to keep attention as a lot of ppl aren’t ready to understand the deeper issues. I.e. you can’t orange pill someone without teaching them the attocities of Keynesian Economics first. I love Louis Rossman! That’s a great example of a based mf. He needs to be on Nostr but I remember he was promoting a new social media a few years back. The issue with his reach is that his videos are not edited and produced well enough to spread to the masses. He probably already captured most of the freedom/privacy/tech segment. To normies, he’s just a guy in front of his computer ranting on a mic, wish he tried to make more engaging videos because he’s an amazing champion of freedom.
