YouTube Algorithms vs. Farmers’ Almanac Predictions | Creating Content in 2026

On this episode of That Don’t Sound Right, Peter and Cecil kick off 2026 with curiosity, confusion, and a healthy dose of skepticism. They break down the baffling results of their YouTube Shorts experiments—following all the “expert” advice, posting consistently, and still seeing surprisingly low views. Is it worth chasing the algorithm, or is it better to just enjoy creating content and talking things out? The conversation then takes a sharp (and entertaining) turn into the Farmers’ Almanac, as they flip through predictions on moon-sign planting, fishing calendars, frost dates, and long-range weather forecasts. Peter and Cecil make a plan to track the Almanac’s accuracy throughout the year and see how well these old-school predictions actually hold up. It’s a laid-back, thoughtful start to the new year—about making content, questioning systems that “don’t sound right,” and staying curious no matter what the numbers say. #ThatDontSoundRight #TDSRpodcast #PodcastLife #YouTubeShorts #ContentCreation #AlgorithmTalk #FarmersAlmanac #blumsalmanac #MoonSigns #WeatherPredictions #CuriousConversations #NewYearPodcast #CreativeProcess Connect with us: 🧢 Merchandise 🌐 Website 📧 Email: [email protected] 📷 Instagram: @tdsrpodcast 💬 Threads: @tdsrpodcast ▶️ That Don't Sound Right on YouTube Now on Substack at That Don't Sound Right Podcast!
