Are seizures just way more common in Japan than in America or is America just way shittier to people who have them?

Broadcast standards over there are stricter because of the Porygon episode of Pokemon.

I like the analysis of big ideas in the Shaun video, but god I hate hearing about these goddamn nazis. They’re so disgusting that I don’t know how anyone can endure listening in order to perform analysis of them.

Three Arrows must be a literal man of iron to wade through holocaust denial so often.

Agreed. As much as I love Shaun's dulcet tones, the moment BPS or Molyneux or any of the Youtube CHUD brigade start speaking I find it quite hard to keep watching the video, they're that repulsive.

I really should have come up with something better before spending five bucks on this.
Interesting video I ran across by a new channel on deceptive demos and how the law shields video game makers from false advertising claims.

It looks like it's from a law firm specializing in digital content law, video gaming, etc. A bit slow, but interesting information and could have some more interesting commentary in the future.

I feel like one thing EA and Bioware won't have to worry about in regards to Anthem at least is that people seem to have become so desensitized on vertical slices that may not be indicative of the final game that when a few people noticed it happening with Anthem contrasting the initial E3 reveal to the final game, nobody really seemed to care. The charges were mostly met with a "Mmm-hmm" and not much else. It was expected at this point. No calls to action, no angry fervor.

That's mostly because EA and Bioware have done such a poor job of covering up how bad Anthem is that nobody's buying into the hype in the first place. Even Fallout 76 had at least SOME hype behind it before the B.E.T.A. killed it.

Anthem’s also dealing with the stigma of “Well, Mass Effect 3, Andromeda, and Dragon Age II all loving sucked, so why should we have any faith in BioWare anymore at this point?” So if you’ve killed your original fanbase, it’s one hell of an uphill climb to try and rebuilt it with... a come-lately swing at the tee Destiny already demolished and built a parking lot on top of.

Also Dan, I just got around to watching your VSauce video. Did you knock yourself out after every take and is your standing up at the start of each jump cut is simply the recovery process from the previous blow?

Seriously though, I’ve never seen a VSauce video before, but now it feels like I’ve seen every VSauce video. Thank you.

They also recently just straight-out nuked a bunch of random channels and accounts because they had the tag "CP" on one or more videos, because CLEARLY that is super-duper secret code for "Child Porn"!!

oh christ i forgot about that lmao, apparently these were all channels that were talking about club penguin. what fantastic timing for that whole fuckin mess to happen at the same time this fuckin horse poo poo is being exposed.

the more i think about it the more poo poo like this brings my piss to a fuckin boil. youtube doesn't give a hot flying gently caress about curating a goddamn thing unless a copyright bot is involved or a major issue hits the main stream. the fact that this specific awfulness has been happening for years and youtube has barely done the bare fuckin minimum to address it at all is just goddamn infuriating. i know there are logistical issues with curating the 300 hours of content uploaded to youtube every minute or what the gently caress, ever but when poo poo goes on for the goddamn long it really does show just how little of a gently caress they give about anything that doesn't involve copyright or sponsorship.

Quick question: what could actually be done about this? Not defending Google at all, I'm just amazed at pedophiles ability to find ways to skirt around each and every system put in place to prevent them from being the horrible people they are. It reminds me of all those videos of kids doing ASMR, where it becomes hard to distinguish from a dumb kid loving around on YouTube and purposeful child exploitation. Also, will admit I didn't see the full extent of the video, as it was too much.

Not exactly a critic, but zero books is getting this video mass-reported as hate speech, probably because it dunks on Ben Shapiro, even though it is very tame and doesn’t even mention how he is three apples tall:

There are a few weird paths that you can end up if you're fresh on Youtube and start watching popular videos. You can end up getting nothing but old Vine compilations if you're lucky, but it mostly seems like you'll end up with garbage and/or hateful popular gaming videos (even if you haven't watched any gaming), those creepy "kids'" videos, alt-right Sargon-likes, or other poo poo that knows how to game the system so easily that Youtube has to be lying about that poo poo not being a problem. It's just way too easy. I remember looking up guides to games years back when the algorithm was even worse and it put me into what I think was a fetish zone of "bloodiest/goriest deaths in <x> video game" compilations in my recommended, usually focused on female characters.

I actually don't want to clear my Youtube cache right now because it took careful cultivating to get it to recommend me nothing but 20% nerdy historical channels and 20% nerdy review channels, with the rest being nothing but Simpsons and Sopranos clips.

My YouTube recs are good. Except with RLM throws a wrench in everything with their annoying Star Wars hate which then leads me to many TLJ sucks videos.

Yep, I'm struggling to find the article right now but the guy that directed Tickled found groups of people tricking kids into making fetish porn for Youtube at least a year ago and reported it all. It was around the time that the other weird and creepy kids videos got big.

Edit: Found it, bit of :nms: since it is talking about a pedophile network, but really similar stuff apparently happening 2 years. https://thespinoff.co.nz/society/21-11-2016/hello-my-name-is-ally-how-children-are-being-exploited-by-youtube-predators/.
