The new Superman movie proves something huge about audiences today: people are craving hope, kindness, and sincerity more than ever… yet YouTube continues rewarding the exact opposite. In this episode, we explore why creators who show up, work hard, experiment, and genuinely try to bring something good into the world are being ignored by the algorithm — while villains, drama, and outrage are boosted to the top.
Using Superman as the perfect metaphor, we take a deep look at how the internet has turned into a digital wasteland where consistency gets punished, quality is overlooked, and negativity spreads faster than anything positive. It’s not that audiences don’t want good things — the success of the new Superman film proves they do. It’s that platforms like YouTube prioritize reaction over meaning, chaos over creativity, and controversy over compassion.
This episode breaks down: • Why the algorithm punishes creators who consistently show up • Why experimentation and improvement often hurt visibility • How creators with real followings still get buried • Why YouTube pushes villains, drama, and conflict • Why the internet is shifting toward negativity • How Superman represents everything audiences actually want • Why hope and authenticity are Kryptonite to the algorithm • How creators can survive a digital ecosystem built for chaos
