Your friends sound like loving nerds

Their entire opinion on RLM is from the plinket starwars reviews and they got really turned off by the random murder and abuse scenes. I told them they don't do those anymore really and mike only hates chinamen now but they weren't buying it.

Also those guys are huge huge nerds. My one actual close friend who does it actually doesn't even think their content is funny and it's just a job for him :(

^^^ that's so sad. like "what do you do for a living?" "i pretend to like poo poo for money." I mean there's actors and marketers and commercials, but the whole "i'm pretending to be sincere about loving BvS every-loving-day" must be soul-destroying.

The worst part is if you're a mega-geek by nature, you can't ever "go straight"... you've got a portfolio of terrible, fully-paid-for opinions following you around until you die.

The one problem with their podcast is, who the gently caress is shilling for WB? Like, who are they attempting to take down a peg here? If anything nerd media just continuously shits on them with no real analysis

He mostly likes his work. They do a ton of content and the the stuff he personally does he likes doing. But he also does a lot of editing and behind the camera stuff for other content they pump out. Different people have different tastes and senses of humour and their brand of it generally just makes me cringe and roll my eyes, but they make good money so clearly a ton of people love their light hearted positive nerd humour. He's super into magic cards too so getting paid by Wizards to do marketing for them and the con circuit is once again fun for him.

If you genuinely love something and then get paid to do it and shill for what you'd be hyped for anyways that's a dream job for a lot of people. The discomfort comes later when you realize you have to stay hyped about a brand forever no matter how bad their products become or you can't pay your rent.

It's not like being paid to advertise things is inherently evil or anything. It's just kinda tacky.

I always wonder what the next career move is for people in these kinds of jobs - what if people stop liking your content & you stop getting enough income, what if you don't want to do it anymore, what if you Sacco/Jontron yourself out of work & income

do you just apply to some office somewhere saying you were self-employed & know how to use computers, do you try to transition to the background of the online content industry, or what
