Step 1: Have your algorithm train every creator on your platform to use clickbait thumbnails and titles, forcing users to watch the videos to find out what they’re actually about.

He will be worse for everyone except himself and his closest friends. And if you don’t vote for Harris, he will win. And he’ll probably end up appointing a couple more Supreme Court justices. And the effects will ripple for decades even if he leaves peacefully after four more years.
