Ah, thanks dude  Kyle!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKo9yYGUu9g&feature=push-u-sub&attr_tag=C1FI0XXRxYBq_fVj-6 Edit: I posted this as soon as I saw it was up and now that I've watched the video I just have to say that Kyle has become such a great content creator. He always had the the writing and voice down but I love how interesting his visual stuff has become. I'm happy to see my favorite "old" content creators really use the medium to it's fullest. It kind of makes Doug's stuff even sadder because he tries to integrate the same things but he just doesn't get why and how it works and doesn't have the knowledge to give any real insight. I truly wish better for him but I just don't think it's in him. Sarcopenia fucked around with this message at 17:24 on Dec 2, 2017 |

Sarcopenia posted:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yiozLs5wDcg I knew this for a while, but dammit HiRez Studios. I wasn’t even able to play this game for 6 months without lootboxes ruining it. Quickplay is ruined by level 1 card new players against a maxed out 25 point deck players. Competitive mode is also borked by the fact that people can’t use Casual as practice and chances are Test map mode is going ti be exactly like Quickplay. Now we have a comp mode that people would have to use because everyone’s cards are set to level 3, and then the newbies get steamrolled and harassed when it turns out the tryhards aren’t very keen with playing with people who know next to nothing about the game.

Watching the H3H3 JonTron video now, and what I like about Ethan is that he's really good at getting people to open up a little. Like his comedy stuff is pretty silly, but he has a way of getting people to loosen up in a way that's really revealing. There's one video where he talks about Louis Theroux and how he's really inspired by his interviewing skills. He grills Jon pretty hard about the whole incident. Of course the comments are full of people going  HOW DARE ETHAN HOLD JON ACCOUNTABLE FOR HIS ACTIONS AND WORDS! BETRAYAL! because of course there are people willing to defend someone online who spouted far right stuff.Ethan is getting pretty good at interviewing - he's still got room for improvement, but the podcast has been really good for his and Hila's content.

I tried following it but I couldn't get through an hour of buttering up just for those juicy morsels of accountability.

What is the deal with H3H3? It seems like the opinion of him here bounces back and forth.

BigRed0427 posted:What is the deal with H3H3? It seems like the opinion of him here bounces back and forth. Pretty good, with good skits, but Ethan seems to be slightly libertarian leaning on some topics, and he's friends with some controversial people like Pewdepie and JonTron. He makes fun of outrage culture, which has caused some of the Alt-right to become fans, even though he makes fun of left and right wing outrage. Ethan and Hila are cool, but some of the fans and people they work with can be a bit toxic.

Ethan and Hila are just pretty chill at the end of the day really, all their stuff is pretty much humour first in the end without ever having much of an agenda and it helps that they're legit funny. I kinda put them in the same group as Dunkey, Idubbbz and FilthyFrank/Joji (just as well as I think they've all done things with each other at some point).

H3H3 is good until he isn't because he decides he needs to defend other youtubers from the evil onslaught of journalism

Augus posted:H3H3 is good until he isn't because he decides he needs to defend other youtubers from the evil onslaught of journalism Yea 90% of the time H3H3 is funny but the 10% of the time Ethan feels he needs to do some Real Talk are fuckin garbo.

At the end of they they seem like decent folks who are mainly comedy focused and do that well, they just have a few dumbass views that aren't really that harmful or dangerous so it's hard to care compared to others. I wish they'd not be so soft on the friends they have like JonTron but I get that they've known him long before he started going full ethnonationalist and it's really hard to just tell a friend to gently caress off even when they're gross. For what it's worth despite me not liking the vid much Ethan and Hila did make it clear his poo poo was not cool to them, I'm just kinda eye-rolling at them instantly transitioning from 'hey you said hosed up poo poo about how immigrants pollute the genepool and black people are inherently criminal and that's super not ok' to 'oh well you're sorry now so that's cool we're still buds'.

I feel like we should be like Shaun and at least watch videos of people we disagree with rather than dismissing them out of hand. In general, I mean, not wrt any particular video. Kyle that video on voiceover is really good btw

Decided to check out Twenty Sided after not reading it for a while, and Shamus Young put up a post about how the Escapist is in heavy decline, and that he was planning to rewrite/redo some of the articles he wrote for his column on the site. However, he also gave some insight and speculation on some of the behind-the-scenes drama. (For reference, the quotes below are taken from his replies to people in the comments of the article.) Shamus Young posted:The following information is mostly second-hand, but here is what I heard: Shamus Young posted:Maybe Viktor is making a strawman argument, but maybe Viktor is simply going by the information they saw. Shamus Young posted:On Twitter: Yes, I had a long article on the mechanics of Twitter and how they purify toxicity and dilute information. I had trouble writing it in such a way that it wouldn’t just re-open the GG debate, which I didn’t want to do. Shamus Young posted:Thanks to everyone who participated in this thread. I’m really grateful that you were able to share you viewpoints without turning on each other. I wanted to see what people were thinking these days, and I got that.

Every time a quite popular youtube series just.... ends, I feel bad for how hard it must be to keep these things going. Like, Mike the PBS idea channel guy could have so easily used the closing of that as a springboard into his own youtube content. If he had put up a patreon the day idea channel ended couldn't he have pulled in a sizeable amount of cash and just done... more or less whatever he wanted? Now when it's folks like Tony and Taylor that have a related and full time career I guess it makes more sense, but you still have an audience of thousands who will listen to essentially anything you want to do whenever. I don't know, is the work and emotional energy required to switch gears on a channel just so overwhelming it's usually a better mental health choice to drop it entirely than to try and refocus it?

Paladin posted:Every time a quite popular youtube series just.... ends, I feel bad for how hard it must be to keep these things going. It seems like doing youtube takes an incredible toll on people, yeah. The retsupre guys did a video a while ago explaining why people like pewdiepie seem to melt down, and it seems like a pretty good explanation: you’re basically producing a ton of content in isolation with nobody there to give you perspective aside from anonymous fans on the internet with dangerous and stupid ideas, plus it’s unlikely you’ll ever get much security in terms of career or income and there’s a constant demand to do more stuff better for longer. Factor in the likelihood of stalkers and lovely business practices ala channel awesome, and also the fact that most producers started doing videos as a hobby or for fun. And look at how Contrapoints was getting dragged just days ago. Yeah, I can see burnout being a really common thing and am surprised so many talented youtube people stick at it for so long. I guess we’re still in the first generation of internet video professionals, but I kind of expected a lot more to just drop off the face of the internet or transition into some other related line of work like the Homestar Runner guys did. Not that I’m complaining—I’m really happy to see so many people still producing and growing as diy thinkers and voices, and honestly the youtube review/video essay scene is becoming an increasingly important front in the internet culture war, so I hope everyone stays connected and organized and really gets that superteam going.
