Internet schad from the "Youtube creators drama" thread in Rapidly Going Deaf

At the end of last year a Youtuber who makes terribly animated videos about beatboxing cartoon characters which are somehow super popular (he's clocked up over a billion views, wtf) posted a video asking for donations to save his channel because he was deep in debt
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k1l_3leCKhw

It turns out that he went broke because he spent $50,000 commissioning a 3 minute 'sexy' animation featuring himself and a character from an obscure cartoon called Hazbin Hotel: https://www.thefocus.news/trending-news/youtuber-verbalase-allegedly-spent-50000-to-create-sexy-animation-of-hazbin-hotel-character/

The kicker: the 'sexy' cartoon is just softcore hijinx, he spent 50k to get blueballed by a cartoon character

Wait - was this through the actual creators of the show or just some random animator? I read the article but it wasn't clear.

I checked Youtube for the ASMR videos with the highest view counts just to see what's actually popular and there's absolutely no way it's not a fetish thing, just going by the thumbnails alone. There's a whole lotta people gagging on vaguely phallic items and foreign objects being pried out of body parts





:wtc::wtc:

I just posted about this in the First World Problems thread. I watched a random youtube video about an old man in a traditional Japanese barber shop because it seemed cool and, being bald, I actual do kinda miss getting haircuts. I failed to see that it was ASMR, because the title was also in Japanese and I didn't pay it much mind.

I've now blocked maybe 100 different channels and wiped my entire youtube history to try and stop the creepy bullshit youtube's been recommending to me ever since.

I can sympathise with people who are so starved for human interaction that a video where a woman makes intense eye contact with the camera while pretending to comb your hair and whisper spitting into a microphone seems attractive. I can pity them even.

Just, please, keep your creepy bullshit out of my recommendations.

Also I hope Disney go all in, those lawyers are well paid and don't gently caress around.

gently caress me, I feel this post.

If you have something to send to me, go over it at least twice and cut out everything which doesn't need to be there. Then cut more.

Then put it in bullet points and cut it in half, again.

Then ask yourself, "Do I really need to send this at all?"

Then delete it.
