Most youtubers do surface level commentary that's more shallow than a teenage girl.

I watched some shitbag the other day talk about how "photography is art" for 10 minutes without actually saying anything.

Yeah. Tutorial videos used to be much shorter and extremely informative, like this one.

And there's three grifters who post "reaction videos" of that dude's lecture.

Those are usually bad too.

I think tearing peoples videos apart can be important sometimes. Especially if you actually make points and disprove them, etc.

It's easy to say most modern media (of any sort) is trash though, and anything being good is rare

Oh there's a difference between things like "political/film analysts" that break down a video and the "reaction" videos I'm talking about where it's literally just some thot with a camera pointed at herself WATCHING the video in question making stupid facial expressions.

A while back, I watched a review of Starship Troopers on YouTube, by some skeletal english faggot. I always overestimate my ability to tolerate these soylent grinned and their constant mixing of left-wing activism with impotent, infantile sarcasm, so I could only put up with it for a short while. The bit I watched was entirely just about the Heinlein book and the bit about their society being stable and conservative for some 500 years. The feckless bassoon couldn't comprehend a world in which there was no more progress, no more destruction of society for no other reason than sheer radicalism, that everything would settle into a society shaped to serve those that serve IT and the parasites would be left behind, forced to feed on the scraps. Never even got to the movie, but Verhoeven was explicit about painting America as Nazi Germany so fuck him, too.

All of Verhoeven's movies, from his very first short he did as a teenager, can be summed up as "Mean Nahtsees Do Thing". RoboCop is Mean Nahtsees Take Detroit, Starship Troopers is Mean Nahtsees Take Showers...

The only country I recall from ST was Argentina, where Rico was from.

The most telling change is the knife training scene. In the book, one recruit asks why they are learning knife fighting when they have tactical nukes, and the instructor explains the importance of being capable of responding appropriately no matter the level of violence required - a folly we see today with female police officers who are incapable of challenging a criminal physically and so have no tools between "ask for cooperation" and "shoot him."

In the movie the instructor instead stabs the recruit in the hand for wanting to understand why the training was important, because Verhoeven is a troglodyte.

It's a shame because Robocop was really a classic (and the dystopian future-Detroit of the 80s is idyllic compared to the reality) but if it was remade today all the gang members and drug dealers would be gudboi dindunuffins

And that's why the book should be taught in schools. Heinlein was prescient, and actually understood our history and national design, and the book is a long argument for a corrective change to our system. Our representative republic was never meant to have universal voting by every retarded clown that wants to be ruled.

Sadly your comment probably doesn't even show up.

Using MLAI (machine learning AI) structured by "sensitivity trainers" that come from "diverse" and "inclusive" backgrounds, the MLAI for YouTube comments basically culls anything that the AI detects as "negativity" toward "diverse" or "marginalised" groups. Somehow women, Liberals, environmentalists, atheists, prostitutes/whores, black people, pagans, and anyone on the alphabet soup spectrum qualify.

The "sensitivity trainers" are basically given comments and responses to scour through and rate responses based on how negative or positive they are and whether they attack/demean/degrade the aforementioned groups. The MLAI uses the prompts from "sensitivity trainers" to gauge the comments and responses/replies to build out a database to determine if comments need to be purged or not for being "negative".

You'll be able to tell if your comment is actually visible by opening up an incognito window of the video link and seeing if your comment displays. Usually if you don't make too many negative comments about the above groups then they might let a comment or two slip, as your comment-credit score isn't low enough for automatic removal, but if you frequently leave "negative" comments, then they'll auto-purge your comment within 20 seconds.

If your comment is still there after 25 seconds, then it's likely safe.

Yeah, they did the same thing back in 2020, too.

I imagine it will be even worse for 2024. I notice Conservatives are at least catching on to this and have altered their word-phrasing to thwart the attempts by the MLAI, using terms like "OnlyFools", "Garden tools" or "304s" to overcome the censorship of words associated with negative connotations of sex work.

I doubt Leftists will catch on, though, as they were the main ones advocating that big corps enable censorship because "they don't have to abide by free speech because they're private companies".

I'm curious how many Leftists will still be cheering on the censorship of certain ideas they espouse that don't align with the establishment?

What's a 304?

permalink parent save report block reply
▲ 2 ▼
– throwawayaccount2037 2 points 2 years ago +2 / -0

It spells "hoe" in a calculator if you type in "304" and flip it upside down. It's a euphemism for "whore" because you can't call women whores on YouTube or your comment is auto-removed. So to get around that people use "304" or "4TS", the latter of which means "for the streets" -- which infers that she's a prostitute -- since sometimes calling women prostitutes with negative connotations will also result in your comment being auto-removed. For content creators they also call them "304s" to avoid being demonitised for calling women whores under the hate speech/discrimination community policies.

If it's for past media content that hasn't had something relevant happen recently (like Attack on Titan ending or the latest Disney thing flopping) it's going to be soy.

Most of the video essays I listen to mostly (as you usually can have them on in the background) are usually around concepts than a particular media in of itself. Since most woke western media is failing they are usually trying to poke at past content to bring it down than look to improve their own work.

"Old bad new good" is the only way to have an endless cycle of destroying tradition and keeping people enslaved to Current Thing™️-brand Current Thing™️.

and any commentary on aot that doesn't boil down to "the ending shows that eren was right and shouldn't have stopped" is lost in the weeds.

Agree to disagree, because there’s a lot of a stuff on both Eren’s end and Zeke’s end that could’ve changed certain things. I just think Isayama’s writing is too nihilistic to be honest, plus in general I just think there’s too many things that can change that would be in character for Eren that would’ve prevented even the 80% Rumbling.

There is a whole constellation of anti-woke video essayists spawned from the Last Jedi era. Reaper is my favorite, Robot Head too, and the Movie Cynic is a pretty good newer channel (notable because he seems to be a normie centrist who just hates new Disney product)

Answer? No. By design. Anyone who isn't low-T mainly posts somewhere else.

And it makes sense. People with self respect don't continually keep crawling back when fucking Google kicks them in the face. Disappearing subs, ad fraud, plummeting revenue sharing, injecting scam ads even if they don't want them, bugs galore, gimped discovery for wrong-think topics, cowardly shadowbans, etc.

You are the abuse you tolerate.

Youtube video essays are sewer content for the lowest common denominator. Everything becoming video is wasteful of bandwidth, effort and time to create largely inferior products that only benefit the goblinoid "I don't read" zombies. Written articles, written reviews and tutorials with the occasional picture, are both better and consumed far quicker.

What xXx_fagmaster69420_×Xx spends fifteen minutes vomiting out of his barely functional mind can nearly always be summarized in less than a page of writing, which can be read by a competent human in a fifth of the time, and skimmed for relevant information in half that time.

There's a case for well made video being better than articles, but video essays are pretty much entirely garbage. If you're just using the medium to pad out your bullshit and generate ad revenue you're worthless.
