    Don’t forget the classics:

    • AI voice describing a mildly interesting video and injecting false information
    • Podcast snippet with Minecraft Parkour or GTA racing at the bottom
    • Movie or Series scene with one of those 5 shitty songs placed on top.



  • The problem is also how YouTube compartmentalizes the content. I like the Alveus Sactuary Channel, Maya Higa has probably one of the most noble causes for streaming. But because she’s related to OTK, YouTube thinks it’s fine to blast me with the full dose of their cringe drama. No amount of “not interested” or channel blocking is going to solve that, because there’s always gonna be copycat clipper channel reposting the same twitch clips over and over.

    It’s funny how YouTube killed early short form animation channels (which was arguably peak YouTube content at the time) in favor for long form content, but then introduced Shorts. But those barely pay anything so people either rehash their 10+ minute video into 20 YT Shorts or spam AI generated garbage en masse. There’s also apparently no copyright enforcement on those shorts, since you can essential watch the entirety of a 2.5 hrs movie in segmented shorts with shitty music layered on top.


  • I wish YouTube allowed for blacklisting words in video titles for your feed. I swear if I see another “*insert vtuber* broke everyone by saying *insert mildest sexual innuendo*” I’m gonna loose it. What also sucks is that YouTube shorts got entirely integrated into Twitch, so the clips you see posted of any streamer is most likely some 3rd party clipper channel leaching off the actual streamer. Which means spam goes up, quality goes down. Sure its awesome for the streamer, they get a lot of traction and new followers but at the cost of their content flooding other platforms through reposts.


  • I realy can’t judge a person I don’t know personally, but I sure is hell can judge their content. And for Asmonds videos and streams, there’s just nothing there. There is literally zero content. You know those memes that imitate Joe Rogan, well here is one for Asmond.

    “Yeah, Yeah”

    “They way it is, is actually…” *blanket statement*

    “Yeah, Uh Huh, No”

    “Well actually…” *other blanket statement*

    “What I would do is…” *some nonsense*

    “Yeah, Yeah, Uh huh.”

    Continues to pause and unpause a 10 minute video over the course of an hour.

    That’s basically it, it’s almost an anomaly how content like that can get somebody filthy rich. It ads zero value to the platform or any of the viewers lives. I can even excuse other creators doing their YLYL challange #547, because it at least involves humor and engagement. But if Asmond would disappear over night, I bet not only would nobody miss him, there wouldn’t even be anybody to replace him, because his success is a straight up anomaly.

    All these shitty reaction streamers are literally standing on the great shoulders of Filthy Frank, Jontron, early H3H3, early Idubbz, Cinemassacre, Ray William Johnson, etc. But those at least had weight behind their reactions, with bits and actual production behind every video. Those reaction streamers literally sit on their ass watch videos and somehow people pay them solely to hear their opinion, what a sad existence on both ends. To be frank, this is barely a step up of those YT shorts of a guy just staring into the camera while the top half of the screen shows some random video. I know YouTubes moto was “Broadcast Yourself” but some people really shouldn’t take that to heart.

    Let’s not forget this simple aspect:

    Interesting character - Seasoned Actor

    Interesting character - Seasoned Actor

    Interesting character - Seasoned Actress

    Interesting character - Seasoned Actress

    Interesting character - Just some Chick

    In the end studios want money above anything else. And big names rake in bigger money.

    My issue is that we are pairing nationality with skin color or ethnicity here. Those are not mutually exclusive. There are 2nd or 3rd generation Asians immigrants in Mexico, just as there are Mexicans living in Ireland, and Irish people in India, etc… Somebody could be a fully integrated national but not part if the nations major ethnicity. Even saying AFRICAN-American is kind of pointless, like it matters where your grand-grand-grand-grand-parents came from. They’re as much American as anybody else. We don’t call everybody else European-American for comparison.
