Then it would never be put up. You can't get away with trying to put up a statue in Manhattan while acknowledging it's one of the biggest Nazi collaborators of them all.

Sometimes I get youtube recommendations from people defending E;R specifically, and there's videos from this guy calling himself Unknown Otaku calling Hasan Piker and other youtubers idiot retards for not "getting the joke." He represents himself as a blue haired masked bishie in a hoodie.

I think youtubes doing a thing recently where a lot of the top creators stuff is being outright copied or just 'commented' on by another youtuber. And it's appearing higher than the original content creators stuff in searches. It's exactly what the top creators did, they took someone elses mass media and made a carreer out of talking about it, and now a new tier of online operators is taking their youtube bucks. And they seem to be freaking out, as I've seen two videos on /r/video talking about this latest youtube drama.

I think that partially explains why a lot of the top people are starting to realize they have to band together and reinforce each other's popularity, or they risk becoming yesterdays news.

And from youtubes perspective, they get to cheat the big paychecks out of their cash and spread it out to a bunch of little guys who most likely are getting a much smaller % of revenue than the original creators saw.

I guess what I'm saying is this year is going to be hilarious for youtube creators in general.

Ah, yes, the hilarious jokes of peddling of easily disprovable right-wing conspiracies and having a series of videos called "The Legend of Whorra: Reniggings"

Edit: ^^^ Yeah, there's a growing "commentary" community within Youtube, and I'm of two minds about it. On the one hand, it's good to have some creators to call out stupid bullshit other creators are doing. On the other hand, a lot of these commentary channels end up covering the same things and are only slightly less odious than Keemstar.

I don't know much abour Warski or how alt-right he is, but his pinned tweet is some kind of heather heyer meme so gently caress him. Either way, apparently IMC stole all his money or something as part of some kind of ongoing fued. I'd investigate further but I might accidentally see a picture of IMC and I've just eaten. Not the hero we need etc.

Counterpoint: iirc PdP at some decided he was going to launch his own brand and cut off ties with YouTube, and backpedaled almost immediately after realizing that nobody would follow him and he'd be quickly replaced in the YouTube community.

These people all need to boost one another nonstop because visibility is basically all they have- there are a million other aspiring youtubers waiting to take their place and none of the content is unique enough to be missed because it's all noise.

At least in those movies the lovely bad TV had production value. No one back then would have ever believed people would sit and watch randos talking directly into a camera for hours on end.

it's a lot better in my experience if you don't use autoplay and just either pick and choose from suggestions or watch curated playlists

It came about because Kaiser Wilhelm II got really excited about the Germans' participation in the Boxer Rebellion and gave an extremely ??? speech about how German soldiers should loot and pillage China so they could attain perpetual glory like the Huns.

quote:

A great task awaits you: you are to revenge the grievous injustice that has been done. The Chinese have overturned the law of nations; they have mocked the sacredness of the envoy, the duties of hospitality in a way unheard of in world history. It is all the more outrageous that this crime has been committed by a nation that takes pride in its ancient culture. Show the old Prussian virtue. Present yourselves as Christians in the cheerful endurance of suffering. May honor and glory follow your banners and arms. Give the whole world an example of manliness and discipline.

Should you encounter the enemy, he will be defeated! No quarter will be given! Prisoners will not be taken! Whoever falls into your hands is forfeited. Just as a thousand years ago the Huns under their King Attila made a name for themselves, one that even today makes them seem mighty in history and legend, may the name German be affirmed by you in such a way in China that no Chinese will ever again dare to look cross-eyed at a German.
