The funniest thing about that "trumpian" thing is that if you take a glance at co-creator Scott Benson's twitter, he's suuuuper anti-Trump and socialist. Edit: Terrible Opinions posted:Naturally on moviebob seems to like. Hahaha looking at her other stuff: quote:I must admit that being a fairly nonvisual person, I’ve never really engaged with videocasts or the YouTube community, but MovieBob is truly a master of the format.

Calling NitW Trumpian is so contrarian it could create a black hole. And Three Arrows? Been binging his stuff and he's doing good work. I'd recommend him, although I do agree he's very Shaun-like.

So people were talking about Gigguk the other day, and true to form he managed to stick his foot in his mouth again, although for a different reason than before https://twitter.com/buildknuckle/status/977452384036311041

Their logic is "Give the info to Japanese anime companies so they can get a better idea of what people want to see". What actually is going on is that they're using influencers to push the name and get people to fill out surveys so loot crate companies can push products. There's a more comprehensive article here that goes into the whole thing a bit more in depth: https://medium.com/the-socialanigirl-rambles/is-the-flying-colors-foundation-a-scam-a593bdf2f77b

God drat, anime nerds are self-deluding. If there's one thing I've learned from consuming Japanese pop culture, it's that the producing companies don't really give a poo poo about what Westerners want.

Anime has enough caveats that I'm wary of picking up a new title until I've done a close look to see if I'd tolerate it. That doesn't mean I'm going to use a website to tell Japan what they should be making, though, some people are weird.

I'm onto you game, Benson! You can't hide you lack of detailed and complex animation skills forever! More seriously, I guess it's not too surprising she likes MovieBob's stuff, considering that article is akin to sentiments Bob's made in the past.

Yuuuuup. Did not see that coming (though I'm glad he did). I just couldn't imagine how long he'd be able to stay there, given he's a very good, for lack of a better term, "ally". business hammocks posted:Linkara said as much while dragging CA on one of those twitter threads. He said he’ll stay as long as they keep him, but he won’t hold back on telling the truth about how lovely they are. lol. someone posted:Suede leaving too along with someone else So is the "someone else" Linkara, or SFDebris, or yet another person?

I'll let my IP take the hit of getting some CA on it, and post this: So place your bets on who is next. Somehow I think everyone is checking their Google Analytics and Youtube logs to see what percentage of hits come from referrer "channelawesome dot cum" My useless guesses: - Blockbuster Buster - who cares. - Brad Jones - If he stuck it out through that game show, he might stick it out as a favor for the Wulkerz? - Brandon T - Don't know anything about him - Chris Homestuckermann - I thought he had a big following before being picked up at the last talent drive. Dunno. - Diamanda Hagan - Since she's not one of their main contributors, and lives overseas, she's pointed out that she's been basically ignored her whole time there. So she might just keep on keeping on. I'd LIKE to think she would make it on her own, her stuff is really good, and I don't know how many MORE viewers she could hope to get from CA> - Flim Bran - If I had to bet (and be wrong as usual) he'd probably leave next. - Il Neige - Is this the one who did the crossover with Allison? - Maven - Shocked she's still there - MikeJ - Dunno - Omega - Will move lockstep with Diamanda - Rantasmo - Again, surprised he's still there, but then again he isn't really doing a lot of online stuff - Suswhatever Urfuzz - A TERF fits in nicely with the atmosphere CA's cultivated, so she'll stay - Toons These Days - I have never heard of these people - AngryJoe - Will stick with CA till it sinks - Bargin Boy - Like seriously, who the gently caress are these people? - Battle Geek Plus - I've at least heard this name. - Gaming Wildlife - gently caress these people. It's as if CinemaSins and Buzzfeed both hosed a MRA forum, and the resulting baby was stabbed in the brain in vitro. - Guru Larry - I could see him just dropping off the site one day - Lotus Prince - Don't know him - Shaun K - Don't know him - Tyger - Don't know him - Yomarz - I've heard that name. I guess I don't follow game reviewers enough. - Calluna - I'm pretty sure I saw her posting in the #ChangeTheChannel threads, so likely she's gone soon - Last Nagry Geek - Is this a real thing? - MasakoX - Is this also a real thing? - Sage - Is that Bennete the Sage? I could see him #MeTooing it the gently caress out of there - wait, did the jus tmove Archived Shows UNDER "music & Misc"? loving hell these people that run this site eidt Todd was in that "archived" list, like, yesterday.

FlamingLiberal posted:I’m surprised Linkara only left now. He mentioned in the article that basically he stayed on to try and make it a better place for newer members as they came in as a kind of pay it forward for what he'd gotten out of TGWTG when he was new. He kept getting stonewalled internally with those efforts, so he was going to leave this year as it was after a major milestone the way MarzGurl did, and all this stuff just accelerated his timetable.

Film Brain and Maven seem like inevitable departures now. It’s not like they haven’t watched all of that poo poo for a long time. poo poo, Brad’s the only original big name still there. I can’t imagine he needs the traffic. He might just want to avoid negative chud attention by never doing anything to get noticed by any of them, given that creepy plaid racist character he puts in his reviews sometimes.

Eh, I disagree. Most critics these days seem to finance themselves through patreon and the relies a lot on fan dedication and the best way to build that is interaction (with the video). Youtube's comment section however is famously a horrible, so I good hub site to discuss videos would a good thing.

Twitter should be good for that, but it moves so loving fast. It’s hard to follow anything without it getting lost or drowned out. Perhaps I’m just too old.
