Doesn't seem like it, last video was a month ago and the Patreon is up. Looks like Danny has just taken a questionable side job? I guess? I don't know poo poo about this company other than what people have said in this thread.

The only questionable things I saw were him ending the video talking about how great VC investment is and a quick flash of awkwardly spliced in footage of The Thaumaturge

I don't play hearthstone but I absolutely love every single one of this hearthstone player's videos where he tries to guess the power level of Magic: The Gathering cards. His latest one in particular alongside CovertGoBlue is excellent, and you can really tell he's learned a lot about MTG with some of his takes. It's also an interesting video for me because I stopped playing during Urza Block, in the late 90s, and only got back in during Eldraine Standard, in 2020, so there's a massive gap of knowledge of playstyles and metas that I'm missing context on, and CGB explains the various historical contexts very well.

Yeah I barely play HS any more and haven't played IRL magic in a while but Rarran's crossover video's for MTG/Yu-Gi-Oh/Heartstone/etc are fun.

This question has started coming up in the thread every few months. Here's the answer I gave when someone asked weeks ago,

Skippy McPants posted:

Internet Historian's content, especially the earlier stuff, contains some red flags, along with a lot of indicators that he was active on places like /b and /pol well after those spaces took a hard right turn. There is also a video from about 2017 that he deleted: Kurt Eichenwald - Seize The Day, which resulted in, these reddit posts.

On the other hand, that stuff is at least six years old, and he likely lives in Australia, so his politics might not align 1-to-1 with U.S. expectations. He occasionally does crossovers with various other internet people, some of whom are left-leaning.

On the other, other hand, one of those crossovers is a collaboration video with JonTron from less than a year ago. So at the very least, he probably isn't very concerned about the views of people he works with.

My personal read is that he is a former 4chan edge lord who grew up into an incurious conservative but retains an apolitical public persona. Either because it's good business or because he doesn't like the reaction he gets when he's open about his political opinions.

If he hadn't done the thing with JonTron, I don't think anyone would have noticed or cared. He keeps a very low profile.

Stuff like this confuses me because it's really not hard to get a read on a creator's general political vibe if you engage with their output. Like an author, they simply produce so many words that they can't help but expose large portions of their worldview, even if they're trying to be cagey about it.

Unless they're flat-out plagiarizing, I guess. Dangit, where that Hbomb video at?

You guys aren't going to believe this, but that guy is our games teacher.
I found this channel a while ago where this guy plays tons of MMORPGs ostensibly to try to find the "worst" (hence the name of the series "Worst MMO Ever") but really just as an excuse to try a wide variety of them and give his opinions. His most recent video, however, features a game that might genuinely be a contender for the worst MMO ever:

Also a weird detail from Jenny's tweet somebody pointed out was that the 3 non-Quartering accounts had bizarrely few views. Just churning out garbage every day for 1K to 4K people and what can't be much money.

And they're probably all going to be in a weird spot if The Marvels just comes and goes with no fanfare or outrage to mine.
