When people started talking about Liver King on the same page Danny Gonzalez is mentioned, I thought it's because Danny has taken the throne as the new Liver King after making videos about the guy including the reveals about his lies.

This guy/channel is probably the perfect example of why fitness youtube is so terrible. He's genuinely an expert in the field and extremely well-informed, but his sense of humor is so extremely cringe it makes the videos difficult to watch. Like, here's one of his more tolerable videos...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSrGsPXv_Cw

My favorite fitness channel was Bro Science because he became exactly what he'd been mocking. When I checked in on him after a couple of years and saw he was covered in awful tattoos I assumed it was some bit but no that's what he looks like now.

A lot of the science-based lifting channels are kinda bad because they exaggerate studies about the effectiveness of this or that rep range or whatever when a lot of what was deemed "bro science" will get you fit and big about as well as strict science-based regimens for pretty much everyone who isn't at a competition level.

Im sure there's something interesting going on there broadly with bots responding to bots, but he dunks extensively on AI art, which involved me viewing AI art, so I didnt happen to finish the video

I think it's mostly a "hey... seems like facebook is just AI art being replied to by bots" which is a pretty easy conclusion to reach on your own. But if 404's been doin' a deep dive on it you might be able to recognize if he talks about the same stuff

I mean, "bro science" is strictly better than nothing until it ends up getting you injured. Then it's worse.

As for Mike Tornabene, dude is a case study in how LA can break some people's brains. Especially if they start making money doing paid appearances at parties and have their personal passion projects fail. You can really see a turn in his vibes after that awful pilot for a BroScience/Dom Mazzetti tv show, and the failure of his car show GNARPM. Granted, that failure of that car show probably kept him from getting killed in an accident, given all the stupid poo poo they did there...

Danny usually makes more elaborate videos with green screen skits and even outdoor locations (and multiple times where he tried to trick/confuse his viewers). I think he just dial back the work he puts into his recent videos because he has a baby now.

Social media reposts of news media reports were basically killing news outlets by starving them of advertising revenue and when several countries tried to pass legislation forcing Facebook to share their ad revenue with the news outlets they simply banned news: https://www.wired.com/story/facebook-is-giving-up-on-news-again/

When I first started getting into fitness I used to follow Buff Dudes, Omar uh..something or other, and Athlean-X. they all seem pretty okay for the most part, but I stopped following all three a long time ago ( mainly cuz I got injured and couldn't go to the gym for a while). however I did see a random buff dudes video a couple of months ago and they seemed.. fine? But like I said this was one video several months ago. hopefully they haven't gone the route of many of these other Fitness YouTubers mentioned. they seemed like pretty decent dudes overall.

I don't know what the equivalent of "A bat credit card?!" is for the Alien franchise but good luck to him.

Also I just watched the new Romulus trailer and it is a bold move to spend the first 20 seconds of your 90 second trailer showing footage from old Alien films

That's fair, I think I was just looking for "full trailer" or "main trailer" instead of "teaser trailer". I almost wouldn't mind if it was just some random person's fan made trailer but no, it's a content mill with a million subscribers and I just gave them a click.
