Hiro Protagonist posted:Man, Big Joel's video on Conservative Comedy is hard for me to get through. Not because it's badly done, but because usually videos on conservative culture are shorter or focused on breaking down a specific idea, but this is just showing how blatant hatred is an essential part of their amusement. It feels more depressing and real than a lot of similar videos. I've learned within the past two weeks that the guy who made that kinda funny gluten-free parody and the chick who did the 25 different accents on youtube both became totally insane people. I can only hope the Saad continued to not give a gently caress.

LazyMaybe posted:His voice has absolutely dramatically changed. He's said that he used to put on a bit of a voice when streaming/recording and doesn't anymore, but I think it is also just over a decade of doing this stuff and getting older. He was seriously ill for a bit too at one point, and I think that changed his voice somewhat as well.

Nuebot posted:Other people, especially those outside of your personal circle, can serve as a very important like, humanity buffer? I don't know a better way to put it, but insular fetish spaces can get really hosed up if they're exclusively filled with people who are into whatever insanely specific and niche thing it is because without some kind of outside reality check people fall down some really weird rabbit holes and kind of lose all sense of perspective and reality But enough about our posting itt.

DMorbid posted:I found out only recently that Calypso wasn't invented by McFarlane and was in fact created by Dennis O'Neil for a Kraven story in Amazing Spider-Man #209 back in 1980. I always assumed Todd just completely made her up for Torment because he wanted to draw a hot voodoo lady. Huh. That's a little impressive. Not enough to make the story good because I recall it's mostly pretentious captions over the art, but impressive.

I've been subbed to Nebula for a while now, and it's kind of fascinating to me how bad it is as a 'general browsing' site for videos. To be slightly fair, there are a few people making videos on there that just happen to not be in my wheelhouse, especially among the ones with more prolific output, so I am getting fewer cool vids to watch than most I'm sure, but lack of good videos isn't the worst thing. The biggest issue is that there appears to be no way to block channels from showing their new videos. It's one thing when some random channel releases their monthly video you have no interest in, but why on earth do I need to get spammed by this garbage TLDR News channel a half-dozen times a day? Why are the people curating Nebula allowing that kind of spam on 'recent uploads' in the first place? There are a couple other similarly annoying ones but none with the same level of output. I am sure you can probably curate your own view of only channels you subscribe to or whatever but it would be nice to be able to have a little bit of discovery and see if new channels pop up or one of the group of channels I respect but do not watch actually put out something I'm interested in for once. But to do that my feed has to be filled with 75% garbage news videos from 2-3 channels.

Again though, a lot of the stuff I don't watch is either obviously curated towards a similar enough audience, or post rarely enough to not be a big deal. Except these handful of news channels that poo poo out daily+ videos to always dominate the only usable feed on the site, the last released one. The ones for First/Early content are ok too but not as relevant. Don't get me started on my complaints about the general video browsing on there...anyway, point is these are clearly completely different from like every other channel on the site - so if they are so obsessed with making the perfect platform or whatever why are these channels even there?

I don't even understand why that channels, and ones like it, exist. I've noticed this "People livestreaming themselves reacting to the news" format seems to be weirdly popular in the right wing online media sphere, but there's definitely a few of these channels on the left as well and I just don't understand what the appeal is. At least with something like Some More News it's not updating on that regular a basis so they're able to focus on broader topics that have been making the news, but the idea of a near daily show of people just...reading and reacting to news articles just seems like such bad, low effort content to me. If I want the news, I'll just read/watch the news.

The impression I get is that it's an MCN with their own hosting tacked on, and some drapery of creator equity to appear like a co-op. Here's the ceo vibing for yah to get a better sense if the company. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb3v-2BHC1w ETA content I enjoy, here is a video discussing generative music and patching techniques. I tend to agree with Omri's perspective, or perhaps his approach? His videos on VCV rack patching and module tutorials have been really instructive for my rookie bleep blooping. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRYpsvS1nMg B33rChiller fucked around with this message at 21:28 on Apr 11, 2024 |

It's online creator-adjacent but more found footage / mockumentary stuff, but the current way of watching most of it requires either knowing how to read Chinese fansubs or having no aversion to using your phone translation tool to read the subtitles. if you like documentary style found footage horror you might like Fake Documentary Q too bro spec these two https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ctmqpxwlLOs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKVq82u_JDc

'Chuds' is one of those terminally online terms that's fine to use in forums but gets awkward sounding when people use it out loud in casual conversation, like Mommy Milkers.

mycophobia posted:this video was really good, thanks for sharing I enjoyed the video (it had come up in my recommendations before but I'd avoided clicking it because I didn't know which side it was on and I had a fear it would absolutely poison my algorithm). I think she got a bit too far over her skis in a few places. The rant in the end with a cartoon oversimplification of the hero-culture views of the morons falling for the movie's propaganda (and painting the entire political right as those morons) especially feels like an unforced error. Also, there were a few places where it felt like she was adding caveats to be a good leftist on the internet. (Listing various rights that we as a society need to strengthen to prevent the instability and deprivation that leads to children being exploited and she throws in "religious rights"???) But honestly, these are extremely tiny nits to pick with what is overall a very insightful video.

if someone irl said "chuds" i would just assume they're politically active online. if someone irl said "mommy milkers" i would assume they have legal issues related to how close they live to a school.

like I said I was playing some games with my zoomer friends and they kept calling other players chuds and I finally had to ask what it means to them. They looked it up and they had no idea it meant far right people. It’s just another version of calling other players “kids” “these kids loving suck.”
