trading content optimises for watch time. trading optimises for outcomes. those aren't the same thing.

been thinking about why so much trading content feels off to me even when the person talking is clearly knowledgeable.

i think it's the incentive mismatch. a creator needs you to keep watching. that means cliffhangers, drama, the "i'll reveal my top pick at the end" stuff. that's not how good trading decisions get made.

the things that actually improve my trading are boring. consistent process, defined setups, knowing when not to trade. none of that is engaging content.

anyone else feel this? curious if there's trading content people here actually find useful that doesn't fall into this trap.
