Someone in the gaming section the other day mentioned how Youtube was over once normies realized they could make money on it.
I agreed and elaborated. But I want to know something. That fake, overly enthusiastic, faggy way of talking they all do...how and why did they arrive there? How and why did the normies go "that....being a retarded faggot and talking like one...that's the gold rush boys!!!"
I want to know the progression.
When I was watching early youtube, the popular people had edge, were raw, and were usually ranty and negative, like most talking heads usually are, because that's far more entertaining to watch. A funny bitter guy like Anthony Cumia is 1000x more interesting than an Ellen Degeneras with her insincerity.
So what the heck made the faggy youtube voice/personality the golden ticket in the minds of normies? What was that pipeline that led there?
I think a lot of it was driven by what The Algorithm would promote.
I remember watching some youtubers as they started to get big comment on how they'd do things like change how they did thumbnails because the videos where they did their thumbnails a certain way "did better". I believe one of those things was "smiling face".
Also "enthusiasm" usually means "loud", and as we learned from the "loudness wars" in music and TV advertising, people are generally drawn to louder things.
Also you don't get big advertising deals by being "edgy" (though you can always pull a ChuckE2009 and get the big advertising deals right before ending the last video you ever make before nuking your channel with "we must ensure the survival of our people and a future for white children")
