What gets in
Every pick is screened to keep out AI slop and surface content with real human presence, visible effort, and narrative substance.
Human Presence
A real point of view, real craft, and a sense that a person is clearly behind the work.
Effort Density
Time and care should be visible in the pacing, edit, structure, or execution.
Narrative Integrity
Worth watching because it has substance, not because it is engineered for empty retention.
