Episode notes

Ix sents, i'm going to pull you out of the quantitative methods close back to you. So sorry. But so that's nuber one. What was missing in my estimation from youtube was they had a lack of willingness to leverage their tools. They were relying on this statistically invalid, broad sampling approach instead of hiring people selve in the minds of ore. And why? Because if you did that, you would find all these vidios very, very quickly.

Ben and James discuss the question of YouTube, why it’s similar and different from Facebook, and why engagement is both alluring and a potential problem.
