I would say that 90% of the time I feel the same way, except that emotional/cinematic touches done lightly and very selectively have much higher impact. Sometimes it can feel disingenuous, especially when overdone, but our big problem in the Bitcoin space isn't in attracting the *thinkers* of the world, its in appealing to the *feelers.* So despite that some will get a little irked, I think it will overall have a far greater impact. I will try to ensure I tone it down a little bit and not lean on it too hard, but I think it's important to let the impact be felt where it matters for those who are not familiar with these ideas, because its 10x more likely to stay with them, otherwise they are likely to watch it, maybe think "that's a great point," but then the very next emotional appeal to "saving the children" will have them screaming to enact another $2 trillion spending bill. If they only ever feel the emotional weight of the argument to "help" with a bunch of centralized fraud, while they only ever get a thoughtful argument that is fleeting for the other side of the equation, then (for better or worse), the emotional appeal will weigh heavier than the logic for the overwhelming majority of people. The secret sauce, at least in my thinking, is to try to convey the emotional weight *with* a strong logical argument that will paint a full picture of what is happening. Then, i think, you can break through the Overton Window of a far broader group of people... at least that's my hope and I'll be testing this strategy over the next couple of years. Appreciate the feedback 🙏🏻

Oh yeah, I totally understand the reasoning for doing it, no argument there. I personally found it a bit over the top for my taste, but not even close to the point of making me quitting the video halfway through. Anyway, I thoroughly enjoy your content. I'm not the successful content creator Herr, so take my opinion with a pinch of salt. Keep at it mate!
