You know it's possible to adjust the playback speed on videos, right? It's totally possible to listen at 1.5x speed or higher and still follow along and have it not sound chipmunky.

I like long videos, if there's something cool that I am enjoying watching I'd rather have more of it than less

did red letter media really popularize the current thing of long video essays?

I feel like it was the first big popular video where it was just "a guy talking for 90 minutes" that wasn't an actual documentary that I can remember on YT

your only option is to use a wallet managing middleware tool (like metamask) that provides a feature to hide them from view. you can't actually interact to move or send them anywhere because that exposes you to the code (and generally costs money in gas and transaction fees anyway)

there are massive points of failure everywhere in the system, it's kind of shocking the more you look
Also your wallet UI needs to separate a local hide function from the actual smart contract functions or else you get that dumb OpenSea issue where your inbox had a contract with the options "Accept" "Decline" "Hide" or "Ignore" and ignore is the thing that makes it disappear in your wallet and all the rest steal your apes.

I generally don't like video essays and prefer to read the material that can be presented that way, but Line Goes Up is really well done and pretty captivating. It's also a bunch of delineated 20 minute segments because it covers a lot of topics, so you could also just start in the middle after the explanation of blockchains and NFTs and watch the parts about play-to-earn, DAOs, and the other insane poo poo that is out there.

No, RLM were definitely pioneers in the long form media criticism videos, but there weren't a lot of people doing it for about ten years after their Phantom Menace video went up.

I think the real cause was a shift in the algorithm that made YouTube promote longer content. These days it seems like everyone is padding their videos to make them longer because that's what the algorithm demands.

Also pre plinkett TPM review 10 minutes was the limit most channels were allowed to upload, so rather than the meta being to stretch as long as possible for more ad bucks, it was talk as fast as possible to fit it all in under 10 minutes.

It’s the reason older plinkett reviews were in multiple parts. It wasn’t artistic choice.

while people of course should follow the law, the IRS is limited in its ability to chase down crypto randos while it works through warehouses full of post-COVID submissions

The tax man will get his due though, if someone tattles on you for mining a butt and not disclosing it, the IRS will eventually find you, and they will assess late fees and penalties backdated to when the butt was mined. So, that couple thousand dollars worth of undeclared cryptosporidium can turn into a massive diarrhea river of poo poo in the form of tens of thousands of dollars in late fees and penalties, if they feel like it.

The people who work for the IRS take great joy in taking your money, especially if you tried to hide that money from them.

Loose Change strikes me as the first long video essay to really take off on the internet, and that's when it had to first be distributed by CD-RW before getting picked up by Napster uploaders. Shame it was basically the match to the fuse of all our current conspiratorial insanity, meshing perfectly with the age old gold bugs who now shill crypto.

Remember when you paid like... $12 in 2010 to play Minecraft's alpha versions? These idiots paid $12,000 to "play" something less fully featured than the Minecraft alpha versions, with a very dubious crossover that definitely was not properly licenced from IPMS.

Welcome to the Internet of poo poo.

E: Also, after they opened up their "Alpha 2" a few days ago and got a bunch of rubes to buy in, they stopped accepting anyone into their "Creator program" which means they took $12k from a bunch of idiots so that those idiots could create user generated content in their little plots of land like a shittier second life, and then removed the key feature that they're pitching "create user generated content in their little plots of land like a shittier second life".

Alexandre Dreyfus, the CEO and founder of fan token site Socios, has been accused of withholding payments in order to maintain the price of Chiliz (CHZ), the cryptocurrency used by the Socios community, according to a report from Off the Pitch.

quote:

His reason for not paying out advisors? An internal message from Dreyfus viewed by Off the Pitch indicates Dreyfus didn’t want the value of Chiliz to tank. “We also need to protect the investors,” Dreyfus writes in the screenshotted message. “When you give free tokens, people can sell at any price — it doesn't matter for them.” He then went on to note that the “real investors” who bought Chiliz could be losing money as a result of advisors selling off the currency.
Hmm, it's almost like the token and the value don't actually exist.
