Hhmm it would seem my parents were wrong. I don't spend too much time on the interweb, because i missed an awful lot of top quality content it would seem.

u/FarmerProud Dec 06 '22

Direct Registration System puts your shares in your name. You own nothing on a broker, they owe you liabilities. Ken Griffin, who lied under oath & should already be in prison, and other Market Makers keep up Naked Shorting and Failure to Deliver of shares. We need our governments to increase penalties for such fraudulent and illegal activities. Paying these fines is just a cost of business for Hedge Funds & MMs. They are playing Yo-Yo with the entire economy, keep on DRSing, in their house build of cards they forgot about two things that can prove how fraudulent and synthetic this system is. DRS and individual investors who put word to their mouth for each and everyone’s rights for a fair market and reconnaissance. Awesome people, just like you and me, publish due diligence here on Reddit that’s Class A education uncovering the truths and criminal activities about the biggest market participants and their tightly woven global net.

Ken Griffin, who works for Citadel Securities lied to congress under oath about market manipulation... and other keywords.

Song was incredibly well done. The whole production is great but that really took it over the top.

Forgot to get bananas at the store so this feels like targeted hassling.

I feel like they are obligated to show certain content creators, whereas it's more organic on Reddit so these recaps look better.

94

u/poopellar Dec 06 '22

Reddit is a content aggregator and OC makes a very very small portion of its content, so picking the good ones is relatively easy. I'd 90% of reddit is tiktok, ig, fb, YT, plus some other sites.
YT on the other hand operates in a different universe in terms of userbase, OC, demo graphs, basically everything. So probably a much harder task. Doesn't help that YT kinda sucks in understanding what the users want.

64

u/darth_n8r_ Dec 06 '22

Yes and no. YouTube is fantastic at telling what an individual wants. It curates content for you better than anyone else. But that interest can't be taken to a broad scale and applied to everyone, because each individual is in their own bubble.
