UK investors know how to find someone else to blame. Blame the government, blame the market, blame the board. It's always someone else's fault. No. The market is on its knees and we can't have nice things because we don't show any interest. A UK listing is a sin tax on capital.
Saying quiet bit out loud: controlling the narrative now an avowed policy. But isn't it also a sign of weakness if only way legacy broadcasters like BBC can retain its audience is by government mandated compelled speech? This poisoned chalice will undermine not increase trust.
@WireSpy92 2 of 2 ...The government can force the injection of content, but they cannot force the viewing of it. Also, If YouTube becomes "sanitized" or "state-favored," the audience won't just sit there and watch—they will move to platforms like X, Rumble, or decentralized video protocols"
@WireSpy92 [from Gemini, 1 of 2] "Even if they are forced to prioritize "trusted sources," the [Youtube] algorithm is still powered by engagement.If the public doesn't watch the BBC, the algorithm will bury it regardless of the priority because its primary metric is watch time and retention
Another all time greatest UK government consultation moment. They ask me my opinion on downranking my own videos in the youtube algorithm in favour of established networks like BBC and ITV...
and they don't give me the option to disagree!!
