It's tiring because movie bob is obviously a garbage human being and there's only so many times that can be pointed out before it becomes an innate fact, sort of like how jontron is a racist

I can't recall ever seeing talk in this thread about the roller coaster enthusiast community on YouTube--probably because it's small and why would they ever cross-pollinate drama with the other communities on the site lol. So, if you want a fresh subject to look through channels for, I have a couple of starter suggestions

ElToroRyan has worked at various amusement parks as a ride operator, and his background in engineering often gives his videos more substance than the typical listicles that dominate theme park content. His biggest series is Problematic Roller Coasters; each video is a deep dive on a particular coaster model notable for its construction and maintenance issues, breaking apart the logistics of what causes/d these problems
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVR_HH9NAMc

Theme Park Crazy also makes two related series that are of a similar "coaster deep dive" type, but focusing specifically on defunct coasters (The Rise and Fall of/Failed Coaster). He tends to talk more about the marketing/financial aspects of the rides and how they fit into the successes or failures of their specific parks. He actually brought on the English Legoshi voice actor for one of the most recent videos, if that helps hook you in
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jL1RNcNlfWg

And if you're wondering "does the coaster enthusiast community have non-American channels", Coaster Bot is here to answer that! If you have a question about the physics/mechanics of coasters, or the history of manufacturers and parks, Coaster Bot probably already has a video about it.

I get it but the implication about a bad poster is a bit too far and besides the point of the thread anyway.

I really have a hard time finding that whole situation funny or seeing it as a dunk when there is like very real, very creepy, years long harassment of a person in the center of it. The glee I've seen is honestly a bit gross.
Like imagine tweeting out "This person has been harassing and stalking me for years and has now made me so uncomfortable and brought e so much harassment that I'm forced to say so in public" and half of the replies are just randos going "LMAO OWNED, THIS IS VERY FUNNY".

It seems like a big part of the problem with being a professional on youtube is that there are so many people there who are amateurs in the worst ways who just gum everything up and delegitimize the entire medium. I wonder if things will change as the share of popular videos out there shifts from DIY early-adopter nerds like movie bob to people who got their start in more traditional producing/writing/performing like Cody Johnston and the rest of the former Cracked video people.

It wouldn't be a creepy pasta without end dialogue so ham fisted it nearly wrecks the piece. It's nearly a necessary part of the genre.

Entirely off the back of that creepy image. Which by the way is just a Halloween decoration with a filter over it.

A few months ago I got recommendations from a channel called the Infographics Show for a video on this. I didn’t watch it, but I moused over the thumbnail and its art style clearly aping Kursgesagt. Were they trying to imply that it happened?

Edit: I had somehow forgotten that the story had the subjects gouge their organs out and have them put back in without anesthesia before they gave their Joker monologue.

Same. I heard someone on a real housewives show talk about how a halloween decoration looked like one of the cast members when she cries. It wasn't the decoration but it reminded me so much of it that now this stupid ooky spooky picture makes me laugh every time I see it because instantly this clip starts rattling around in my brain.

i find it sad in the way of "i was sorta like that in high school so where i was a lonely loser with dumb opinions pining after ladies" but bob is older than me and never grew up. like the dude burned every friendship he had and basicaly never shuts up about his boring yet terrible politics which alienated even more people. if he wasn't an rear end in a top hat to everyone. he would be genuinely sad.

If the Internet Culture Warrior thread in Cspam is to be believed they tried an open marriage before separating.

I have a guess as to who proposed that.

See, I feel like there's a thing that happens to certain weak-brained men when they get youtube famous where they get arrogant enough to think that an open marriage would be a good idea, so I don't know if it's the classic story of a woman desperate to escape an idiot or if it was an idiot digging his own grave.

Internet fame really is the ultimate crucible of character: if you're garbage, efame just burns everything else away until you do the scummiest thing you're capable of, while decent people just get endlessly bothered and harassed by the garbage until they have to act in appropriate ways.

Anything that turns food into chemistry is endlessly fascinating to me. It's like something you'd buy out of a dingy vending machine in a cyberpunk dystopia, or something served to you by aliens who tried to figure out what humans eat by reading your mind.

I followed her for Communist memes before I knew about the marriage, and her random life posts make her sound fairly awkward and introverted. So I think it's likely the latter.

Honestly, food is a minor miracle in of itself. The amount of food science all of humankind has accumulated and shared is an incredible thing to think about. Just think about the ingredients of a cake: where the come from, how they're processed, how it's all prepared and cooked. Some of those ingredients are continents apart and it took generations of people "well, what if I took this plant, distilled it down to a coarse sand-like form, then took another plant ground it down to a fine powder, combined it with the milk from a cow, eggs from a chicken then baked it at this temperature for a this amount of time."
