More information doesn't mean better output; it means more entropy

we? We fall victim to this idea that the more as long as the algorithm is good, then the more information you feed to it, the better the output that is not correct,

Summary
Nerds fall for the idea that with a good algorithm, more input data always yields better output. More information, like more of anything, produces more entropy, not better outcomes. More pages wouldn't make search better, and more podcasts don't make shows easier to find; it makes everything harder.

This same with podcasting. If, if you just had more podcasts, you would have better, like, be able to find we know this is not true. It makes everything harder, not better.
