Only Indy Neidell carried over to World War 2, while Flo and the rest of the Great War crew are talking about the postwar revolutions, wars and general fallout of the Great War.

I think both channels are backed by the same startup company, and they also had on again off again series like Between the Wars (also done by Indy Neidell) and It's History, of which Indy was one of a number of hosts talking about random historical topics.

ok. well they are both good.

Joking about "cancellation" in the face of a lot of valid criticism is in really bad taste.

Didn't Peter Coffin/Philosophy Tube do something like this before, where he brought up cancel culture when people started giving him flak because he was defending someone who was accused of assault? (Laurelai Bailey or someone?)

Coffin is way worse, he actively defends a rapist slash literal fed informant by shouting at her actual victims to shut the gently caress up because he's 'not taking a side' (except to tell everyone but him and her to shut up). He also has his weird poo poo like when he faked having an asian girlfriend so he could...make jokes about asian people? He's a huge creep, Olie's just probably trying to stick with someone he considers a friend.

didn't he fake another girlfriend or is current girlfriend seems to have clear mental problems or something. i know a bunch of videos of her in the nude got leaked/stolen and one included coffin apologizing for cheating on her or something. idk some of the stuff i know is from hanging out in old chan boards years ago so its grain of salt and most of those guys are idiots who believe any bad thing. but some of it i can sorta believe. coffin tried to break in big with the earlish game stuff and tried to be the next miracle of sound type dude and all of his cringy poo poo. than he tried to going uber woke when GG was at its height to get in good with people. Now he is doing maxism 101 to stay good with lefties. it wouldnt surprise me if he goes nazi at somepoint.

i feel like alot of the reason there will never be a fully orginized online left is because 1. some of them are weird creeps/idiots/opertunists who do dumb poo poo OR like me did dumbshit/hung out with bad crowds and such when they were younger because dumb teens gonna be edglords. and 2. the left is weird with gatekeeping in general and alot of people go full struggle session over small stuff or do nothing with big stuff depending on the person.

Considering the fact that Youtube is a space on which people can make a living and that Youtube actively supports this, I would almost say that it should be illegal for the Youtube algorithm to be A) as manipulative as it is w.r.t. recommended videos and B) completely obscured from video makers. I really hope that the Youtube union movement starts making some waves to get Youtube's systems and algorithms declassified to a further extent than they are currently.

I feel like I've seen this before. A YouTube person makes videos that I watch for a bit, then several years later, I see another one and go, oh yeah, that guy, and he's wearing a video games boutique shirt, and his hair is better, and the video quality is much better. But the video is about how there was a real swift gold rush and now there isn't and there's a lot more 'engagement' and 'cpm' jargon and it's just sad and unwatchable. I don't begrudge folks making videos for a living, but a YouTube career if you're not a rich kid is like building a house in the middle of a lake in winter.

Who runs that reddit? Is it fans or is she involved? It is a worrying sign either way, like if the Carl Sagan reddit started filtering “racist” to “race realist,” I would still be really worried about what the gently caress is going on over there.

They added her as a mod but whether or not she's actively involved is assumed but not proven.
While it's bad i'm hesitant to say this means the subreddit actually supports something it says it opposes just by this alone.
Could they be lying about this? Sure. But these looks more like "Open-minded" shitness and Decorum(EX:Their explicit logic on terfs) than actual support.

It's fine.
Don't worry about it.
There was some drama involving the modding on that subreddit a couple of months back and I saw her sarcastically ask on Twitter "what is going on with 'my' subreddit" before dismissing the issue, and I don't see why she'd put on a show of not paying attention to the subreddit if she was controlling it behind the scenes. It does generally seem like a "YASS DARK QUEEN" echo chamber above all else anyway, so preemptively circling the wagons is pretty unsurprising.
