I always got weirdass vibes from that guy (and not just because he’s a self-described furry, etc) even if I think his Disney movie watch podcasts with those two other dudes have been funny

Sometimes I wonder if people only become youtube famous to build up a cabal of rabid fans they can sicc on their posting enemies. YouTube seems better at allowing people to build parasocial relationships than to make money reliably it seems.

Get bashed, platonist!

This person doesn’t seem to have successfully built up that sort of fanbase because even the most sympathetic replies to that are saying “they’re being ridiculous but that is absolutely not a threat of violence.”

Glad to see more people enjoying Majuular's videos. Been watching them for a while, even though I -still- mix him up with Kbash, another creator with a somewhat similar style and voice.

They should just agree to do the fusion dance so as not to further confuse me.

...Hey someone should do a video essay about this!

Sorry to quote an old post but I was catching up with the thread.

I've been thinking about doing this, I've been involved in that community for a long time, long enough for me to form my own ideas and I have a lot I'd enjoy talking about.

I have some ideas for doing movie reviews about films with kink it and how it correlates with reality. There is at least one movie that has some really interesting concepts that I'd love to talk about.

Also, there are not a lot of good YT channels about that kind of stuff, so I'd be basically making the content that I'd want.

It's an interesting endeavor, but I'd be worried about constantly fighting with youtube to avoid them age-restricting and demonetizing videos covering content like that. And then you have the normal content ID fights on top of that if you're reviewing any movies or TV shows.

there’s a fair amount of kink/sex/etc-focused or adjacent YouTubers staying within the platform’s graces and/or, like Intelexual and Kat Blaque, mainly relying on merch or Patreon or alternate funding streams and just counting on their kink/sex/etc content being demonetized

even if a yt/twitch channel gets deprioritized or whatever it still tends to get more eyeballs than something like a blog or an independent site, never mind any of the other platform alternatives, so some people who want to do that kind of education/advocacy find it worthwhile regardless

a video that uses reddit and twitter posts as sources is something i would like to call incredibly garbage as a critique of anything lmao

doesn't matter if they're wrong or right, clicking to his list of sources and finding an endless wall of reddit posts is just lmao. clicked on one reddit post about Overly Sarcastic Productions, and the redditor was angry that the video he was critiquing said that wars are messy. like there were actual, proper critiques there too, but there was also hyperbolic idiocy that was just put there so the redditor would sound smarter than he was.

HOLD ON GUYS I'M POSTING ABOUT INTERNET ROBOTS
The entire premise of the video is that r/badhistory has critiqued these people, and the amount they've critiqued them forms a non trivial part of the score this guy gives them to determine their badness tier. What a strange premise to use for the purposes of determining accuracy when you can just do it yourself and check against actual sources instead of taking u/ilovexerxes' word when he says that Overly Sarcastic's videos weren't as reverential towards Persia as he would have liked.

IMHO History Youtube isn't much worse than any other medium, everywhere tends to have the same issues of "pop history vs academic history" or how much compromise is made between being strictly factual or being more dramatic and engaging.

Also James Portnow is a manipulative rear end in a top hat, don't give Extra History your time and attention.
