Richmond Dinh's daughter refused to post a homemade play video, worried it was too low-quality. Dinh argues the algorithm filters out genuinely bad content anyway, so creators should post constantly and treat each video as practice data. Only you know if something's actually bad.

If your stuff sucks, no one's going to see anyway. Regan, my daughter, her and Kennedy are writing a play at the moment and it's really cute and they're going to be performing for us later on tonight. I said to Regan, can I film it so we get a memory of it? She's like, of course, Daddy. And I said, can I post it on YouTube? She said, no, don't post it on YouTube. I said, well, let's think about this. And I was really brutal. I said, there's 3 kids who don't know what they're doing, filmed on a camera with bad sound. It's not going to be that good. So if I post it on YouTube, because it's not that good, no one's going to see anyway because no one wants to watch things that are not that good. And she's like, oh, okay. And that's when the moment dropped, is that so many of us are worried about posting content and not looking good, but the algorithm decides whether it's good or not anyway. And so if it's not good, no one actually sees it. So the best thing you can do is just to put out as much content as possible and get the feedback, get the data, practice what you're doing, because at the end of the day, no one's gonna know how bad you are except for you.
