In the video "Glowing dots worshippers"( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f_JvU_yQ3A) UFO Joe commented:  Ufo Joe  "... I'm not after fame or money like some of you in here. I prefer to work for my money." My reply: This is a free Ads channel with zero monetizing, we will never take a cent from anybody to make these studies because that automatically will compromise our objectivity.  Doing the right things in this area: meaning being strictly objective and rejecting unsupported claims is unpopular and that is exactly what we do, so we are doing all the wrong things to be "famous" in this context but actions speak louder than words.   This very video "Glowing dots worshippers" is a debunking of all people providing footage with only glowing dots and making all kind of unsupported claims and by doing that they are enablers of the UFO Scam essentially not different from the popular UFO channels that nurture and exploit the UFO cult with all kind of garbage.  You should watch the video: Enablers of the UFO Scam/lies: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lv76iausl9w Glowing Dots Worshippers.

The best Infrared spotting setups  Experience shows that the best IR setups are the ones where you have full control of the zooming lens: zoom, focus and iris opening, lens with automatic iris suffer exactly the same shortcomings that cameras with automatic focus: the results are not optimal for tracking small objects in the atmosphere with all kind of different objects and lighting conditions in the field of view. Experience also shows that in these manual lens the iris opening should be kept to a minimum allowing very little light to reach the camera sensor, in that way contrast and "depth of focus" are increased: more range for objects to be in focus and that is critical for detection.

The very effective use of adaptive camouflage by anomalies against humans shows clearly that humans can be easily defeated by any "entity" or living being that had mastered the use of adaptive camouflage, also this shows the potential use of similar techniques for surveillance and cover operations. Humans appear to be intrinsically vulnerable to adaptive camouflage as their perceptive capacity tends to use similarity as replacement for identity.

Entertainment value versus information value

Many times people use the views count on a given video as a measure of how "good" the video is but it should be obvious that many factors can be involved in that video views count.

But many times that views count is a reflection of the "entertainment value" of the given video.

In this context many fake or hoax videos have very high views count and mainly that is due to the fact that many people find such videos very entertaining and amusing, people producing these videos have a very good understanding of their target expectations and they know how to exploit these expectations, these people are filling an existing "need".

Now many times videos or content with very high information content receive "poor" attention because they do not have great entertainment value, many subjects and analysis require efforts on the people trying to learn it and not many people are willing to make that effort.

For example Mathematics is at the root of any modern technology, from GPS, internet, satellites,cell phones, etc. but Mathematics is not a very popular subject matter in general because it usually requires mental effort and concentration that depart from any popular entertainment value.

Real knowledge always requires effort and dedication that is why the more advanced that a given subject is the less people that will have a working knowledge of the given subject.

Real advanced knowledge in any given subject always had been and always will be elitist and the exclusive domain of very few that find the given subject amazing and entertaining.

The UFO entertainment

For many people any UFO site or channel is a source of entertainment not different than watching any other source of entertainment and almost any UFO channel format is designed as an entertainment channel.

And as in any entertainment provider pleasing people's expectations is on the top of the priority list and that automatically kills any pretenses of objectivity.

Jacques Vallee quoting an interview with Steven Spielberg:

"Vallee: When I met Stephen Spielberg, I argued with him that the subject was even more interesting if it wasn't extraterrestrials. If it was real, physical, but not ET. So he said, "You're probably right, but that's not what the public is expecting--this is Hollywood and I want to give people something that's close to what they expect." "

And exactly Spielberg's thinking had been the thinking of traditional Ufologists and the many people providing UFO entertainment and that is one of the reasons why nobody can take Ufology seriously.
