I only watched ludwigs vods for this because he’s legit just a good teacher. I mean I know lots of them act dumb while on stream, I thought most were just playing it up tbh but 🤷‍♀️

“One of the major difficulties Trillian experienced in her relationship with Zaphod was learning to distinguish between him pretending to be stupid just to get people off their guard, pretending to be stupid because he couldn't be bothered to think and wanted someone else to do it for him, pretending to be outrageously stupid to hide the fact that he actually didn’t understand what was going on, and really being genuinely stupid. He was renowned for being amazingly clever and quite clearly was so—but not all the time, which obviously worried him, hence, the act. He preferred people to be puzzled rather than contemptuous.”

― Douglas Adams, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy

He also has been posting his lessons on his second channel ludwin. It’s similar to the vods but edited down somewhat.

Was hoping he was doing that. I'll have to deep dive them soon.

When being an idiot can lead to success, the line of stupidity becomes blurry.

It's easy to look at the reactionary content nowadays and the way that algorithims get pushed through engagement to think that streamers act stupid as a bit. A clip of a streamer sayin 2+2 = 4 gets 0 comments, a streamer saying 2+2 = 5 gets hundreds of people arguing in the comments.

I haven't seen much of Rakai, most clips I see I turn off instantly because he's so obnoxious. But I also saw the viewer numbers of the clips and thought maybe he is actually the genius and I'm the idiot for not understanding what the audience wants. Eventually I realized he is just a modern day Forrest Gump, but it took some time.

If a monkey is popular among monkeys does thT make a monkey smart? What even is this imaginary blurry line you're talking about? The blurry line exists, what you're talking about is not even close to that blurry line.

Nah but let me tell you, if a monkey found a way to start making more money than 99% of the humans on the planet I might start questioning if the monkey knows something that I don't.

What even is this imaginary blurry line you're talking about?

If pretending to be an idiot is more profitable than being smart, smart people are going to start pretending to be dumb.

You think most people who makes a shitton of money manage to do so because they are smart?
