I'm convinced that there are some comments depending on the youtube channel that get astroturfed because I've spotted suspicious behaviour depending on what channel it is and who's appearing. I suspect they do it in order to make the video seem like it's doing better than it really is. On channels that don't have that strange filtering and astroturfing going on the comments are often decidedly different. Don't get me wrong, there are braindead people out there but popular stuff isn't as popular as some might like to think.
We often like to riff on the gaming and movie/TV industries for how badly they've failed at convincing their audiences that the bland, oversexualized, talentless drivel they push out these days has the same level of quality as what was being produced in decades past. However, we don't often acknowledge that the music industry is the one that began that trend, and has been much more successful at it.
In the modern music industry, just like in gaming or television, sexuality is defined either by how gay you can make it or how degenerate you can make it. Miley Cyrus twerking as an example.
This is a terrible performance, hopefully someone has some good roasts in the comments
comments are nothing but endless praise by braindead NPCs
Sigh…..

"Oversexualized"
In which way? Absurdly attractive women acting like ideal women? Or Pig-ugly western types acting like dirty sluts because they have "agency?"
