Of course they are, he spammed the algorithm. His special etc has the advantage of not having a bad word in the title so it’s always going to push that instead of something “naughty” :redass:

what's funny is if stav was game for the switch toward video and willing to put in more effort the patreon would have pulled the same numbers. i bet like 90% of the new patreon subscribers are existing listeners who steal the show coming back into the fold just to see the studio antics

Sometimes I wonder if chapo did more harm than good going all in on bernie, especially with all the “last off-ramp before total collapse” rhetoric. Like they pulled in a whole crowd of disillusioned people getting into politics for the first time, told them the only possible solution was electing a 78 y/o social democrat president and then got all pathetic when they lost. I feel like the first thing you learn in any kind of activism is that you take 5-10 L’s for every win but they just hyped up a whole lot of people and then told them to give up.

I have never seen a win in my life lmao

Genuinely wondering what would “keep fighting!!” have looked like in the context of the 2016 and 2020 elections after Bernie lost the nomination? If the answer is to channel that energy into down ticket races remember that the Dems consistently put up terrible candidates that you or they can’t in good conscience encourage people to support. “Vote blue no matter who” tries to pass itself off as “don’t let the perfect be the enemy of good (so vote for our mediocre, frankly indistinguishable from a republican candidate)”.

It was actually a great lesson- “this is how they gently caress you”- hating on them for not having a plan for that energy they whipped up is frankly asinine- do those people need to be told what to do for everything? Same vibes as the “where’s my 20 bux Bernie!!!” :argh: folks who apparently thought their puny donation was buying a share in the presidency and felt justified in wanting it back.

hindsight yadda yadda but if hillary was gonna lose anyway, bernie should have pulled 8% in a third-party 2016 run

Yeah it doesn't look like that spike actually started when he left. Looks like it really took off in late-July or early August.

stav being the laugh track was part of the secret sauce that made cumtown great but it really did just add nothing new for the past like year and he left at the right time, glad he's doing well in his standup, he should do that twitch dating advice stream poo poo again that was good

Just listened to the first part of Trueanon Game Part 3, where they reenact one of the game’s put-down sessions. It’s horrible… it’s also often the way people on the forums talk to each other, so surely it can’t be as harmful as depicted. otherwise we’d be all hosed up, no?

It makes me sad 😔

Keep in mind that the people going through this program would have generally been at low points in their lives, and besides that it was all viscerally personal. Dunking on someone’s bad post isn’t the same.

That part did shake me up though. If I had sat through one of these things anytime from like 14 to 22 it would have completely broken me.
