I can't track it down atm, but somewhere in the thread there's a discussion of the how and why of youtube video mechanisms and how they incentivise bad practices. I think it's more than length==more ads, I think a length minimum of right around 15 minutes also effects the likelihood of suggested video or feed display.

Ytlaya posted:One thing I will admit about HBomberguy's videos is that, while they're good at owning dumb Youtubers, it's a little cringeworthy when he does that "obviously forcing himself to act like he's laughing a bunch" thing. Like I get that he's trying to indicate that the clip he just showed (or whatever) is so dumb/bad that it warrants a bunch of laughing, but it's really obviously being forced on his part. yeah, i really want to like hbomberguy because it seems like he does good poo poo, but he does that typical youtube thing where you have to try and make everything 100% energy and excitement all the time. it's exhausting to listen to. i guess that's why i prefer stuff like S&J. also it's been a while since i saw it but iirc his pewdiepie video was a ripoff of a much funnier + clever stewart lee bit

The funniest thing about Sargon is that you can use Sargon to disprove Sargon's statements about Sargon.

I think most of these YouTuber assholes adopt the tone where they imagine they're in bar, in a conversation with the stupidest person in the world and goddamn but they are totally destroying them, 720° power dunks over and over, just obliterating them with the loving basic facts of the universe, those loving morons!!! Then they want to give each other high fives but they're too badass and cool smart people to do that. Whereas Shaun's tone is like a dad patiently walking a child through their lies and excuses, and now they need to go apologize to the old lady next door.

only bad thing about hbomberguy is he thinks the prequels are good which makes me question all of his opinions including all the ones i agree with. it makes me question my very self. more like hbummerguy.

My one complaint about hbomerguy's takedown videos is that he'll hammer on the same thing a lot. I don't think his laugh is fake, but I don't think Jon Tron slurring communists is the funniest poo poo in the world

Then they want to give each other high fives but they're too badass and cool smart people to do that. What I like about the "SJW" Community on YT is there's a lot of diversity. If I want a big intellectual discussion, Shaun, Kristi Winters and Garrett are my options. If I want edutainment, ContraPoints and hbomberguy are my bros. (also I get to look at Contra) If I want something nice and informal where they just say what I personally think ("gently caress all these idiots"), I have Kevin Logan and others.

Nope, I've looked and I can't find it, other than articles about the phenomenon where independent actresses say they get that request a lot. Groovelord Neato posted:only bad thing about hbomberguy is he thinks the prequels are good which makes me question all of his opinions including all the ones i agree with. it makes me question my very self. Honestly, I've realized the prequels have a pretty good story, they are just badly scripted, directed and acted, with way too much dumb fluff. HBum really likes the whole "this is how liberty dies, with thunderous applause" angle of them.

It is funny. I think he just over plays it. He's great at putting people on blast though. My coworker didn't know anything about any of this but seeing the petition video he knows Carl got lit the gently caress up

The alt-right is legitimately a cult, especially in gaming circles. I would almost feel bad for them if they didn't want to kill everyone but straight white people

That's just great. You'd think they way that gamergate reacted Zoe Quinn demanded all men be castrated as the only avenue to world peace and Anita Sarkeesian personally killed their favourite pets and set fire to their mothers.
