Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

hbomberguy is probably the one you're thinking of. He tried to upload a video about how Sherlock sucks, presumably the BBC one? But it was blocked because copyright stuff.

Was very disappointed. As a fan of Jeremy Brett Sherlock, I never did like the new one.

Hbomberguy is a goon. I don't know about Contrapoints, but he does collaborate with Hbomb and other goon-adjacent youtube people like Lindsay Ellis and Dan Olson.

Largely the same thing, but with more serious discussion, better production values, and without the annoying character act that she never put much work into in the first place.

At least the bigger ones migrated what they could to other sites. I never followed the less well-known ones, unless Lupa/Pregler counts for that. Though, come to think, I don't really follow most any of them, but still keep running into their content here and there.

Most everyone with an audience migrated to patreon. TGWTG sounds like it was horribly run and treated its talent very badly. Only Brad Jones refrains from openly badmouthing them, and nobody compliments them. Allison Pregler and Phelan are still around doing really strong stuff compared to the CA days. It's really interesting how everyone who left or was fired from CA has grown and developed a unique style, while all the CA in-house stuff is just as superficial and stale as it was at the start.

For those who remember the goon who made that music video "Random Access Memory" with his band The Unhandled Exceptions, he is still at it.

But he now also calls himself a philosopher and well...

Her stuff is quite good, yes. The Rent critique in particular cuts like a diamond chip, and goes so much deeper than the "They ruined it when they made it into a movie blaaah" that you get all over Youtube.

It all depends how much that would impact his viewcount/patreon. I wouldn't put it beside him personally tho.

When he starts fading away, and has to resort to feeding off the bottom of the loony barrel, its almost guaranteed he'll get into that.

I watched it before it went down, and yeah this is just grief of course. There's nothing wrong with the video.

On the topic of video take downs, Hbomb's Sherlock vid went back up yesterday.

So it's been taken because trolls reported it too much? Either way, kind of ironic.

Yea, the Rent critique was what made me decide to start paying her on Patreon. Definitely the best video on the channel so far (the other stuff is good too, but the Rent video is just spectacular).

This is bullshit for a lot of reasons but the one that really gets to me is that this is no joke for him. He's decided to make a career out of YouTube. This is his livelihood at the moment and some troll literally just hosed with his job to be an rear end in a top hat or an ideologue or something.

What garbage.
