I've only watched one video from ThoughtSlime and it was his recent "sub celebration" one on imposter syndrome. It was really freaking good. Very relatable for a lot of us YouTubers and folks who generally talk poo poo on the Internet, to be honest (so y'know, probably biased towards that subject).

So yeah I'm not sure I understand where a lot of this vitriol's coming at really. Like, he seems perfectly ok when it comes to the whole field and THE DISCOURSE.

He said the word tankie? This whole conversation is exhausting so I've lost track tbh

He is an awkward guy who has occasional bad takes on twitter that he refuses to back down from. In other words, a goon, and there is nothing goons hate more than themselves.

The internet, goons in particular, love finding stuff that at worst is only 'ok' and acting like it's the worst thing ever.

goons also love taking anyone saying someone was dumb as 'everyone hates them' and spending five pages all 'wow I can't believe people hate him'.

That was a great video. I don't know what it's like to be a content creator much less a successful one but I still emphasized with a lot of what he was saying.

its a neat trick, but you can only do it once
i watched one video at someones recommendation about something or other and it was a complete sinkhole in my memory. just a total void. 0 information retained. partly because, being honest here, im going in with a precooked disdained for the youtube community of people who just like to hear their own ideas and beliefs parroted back at them verbatim.

he is not "the worst". its just kind of boring stuff and im not into it

his batman video is the best possible answer to "isn't batman a fascist", which is bullshit, and essentially tells people that the left are all terrible killjoys here to take away your comic book



i took it more as a rebuke of the Radicalbytes types more than a "lol critiques are all bad" and he fully admits comic writers write batman as a fasicist but thats not the core message of batman and people who write him as a fasiist type in their comics are moronic assholes who don't get the character much like how Snyder doesn't understand the superman is the ultimate altruist. also he makes fun of some of the folks like johnny macintosh types who view EVERY interpretation of batman as some evil fascist boot.

i think he has some interesting and good opinions on stuff.

leftist youtube is good because it makes digestible introductions to theory available to more people. If it seems rote and obvious to you that's fair but it gets more eyes on ideas than just telling people to go read political theory without a reason to give a gently caress.

Also the Eyeball Zone is just genuinely really great, regardless of if you like Slime's videos.

Funny enough, I watched TS because I didn’t know much about anarchism. I do think there is value in hearing someone else walk through shared beliefs, as it can give you better understanding of you views or at least help you articulate them better. Nonetheless, it’s basically stuff to put on as background music.

Tom Lehrer was right.

It continues to astound me that people can strongly dislike TS, yeah. Although it's partially because of a cautionary tale regarding threadbans, but I digress.

I guess here's a recomendation I haven't seen here before. I got into chess when the YT algorithm decided chess was gonna get a push, and one of the best channels I found for learning more about the game was GothamChess aka IM Levy Rozman. He's pretty well-spoken and funny, but also extremely knowledgable about chess, doing analysis of tournament games and series on fundamentals; tips to improve, etc. The channel has a short series of 10min opening tutorials that helped me get a hang on what the gently caress I'm supposed to do when I start a game, like this one on the London System:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49H728S_VjM&hd=1

Dude's channel has blown up recently but if you were ever interested in learning more about the game, I think it's a good place to start.
