I reeeeeally hope The Expanse picks it up this season, the episode tonight was a snoozer. Makes me miss the brain parasites from last season even!

God I think I just can’t stand anything with a lot of belters. Man they suck with their annoying fake accents (pt Drummer she rules)

Give me more amos, avarsala and bobbie dammit.

So it was a good episode. Got it.

I'm glad there's a word for that (so I can complain about it in the future) but I feel like using those specific words take away valuable language real estate from, for example, social causes. Makes begging for support seem more glorious than it actually is

I mean, it's a marketing term-of-art that has existed for many decades. It can be anything from "Be sure to like and subscribe!" to "Use code 'blowbang' at checkout!" to "Drink more Ovaltine!". It's basically anything that you have someone say that asks the audience to do something.

Much like "ad read", it's an old term that has now slipped into the popular lexicon primarily because it's now something done by anyone with a youtube channel instead of being reserved for broadcast professionals, the way it had been since the inception of broadcast media.

Yeah, I was about to say that there is backstory in the book and there's a reason that the movies avoided it.

“In the version first published, [the Oompa-Loompas were] a tribe of 3,000 amiable black pygmies who have been imported by Mr. Willy Wonka from ‘the very deepest and darkest part of the African jungle where no white man had been before.’ Mr. Wonka keeps them in the factory, where they have replaced the sacked white workers. Wonka’s little slaves are delighted with their new circumstances, and particularly with their diet of chocolate. Before they lived on green caterpillars, beetles, eucalyptus leaves, ‘and the bark of the bong-bong tree.'”
[from Jeremy Treglown’s Roald Dahl: A Biography]

:yikes:

They didn't change the book until after the movie.

Turns out I have the racist version

When you're young you could probably destroy several men's rings, but after 30 you lose that stamina and need a gatorade and a smoke.

I don't like calls for action but everyome who does them says they do legitimately make a big difference. Blame YouTube for sucking enormous poo poo I guess.

Like, I get it. The effect may or may not be real. It's the sheer frequency that pisses me off, just stick to one at the end, don't be cheeky with your banners. I don't care if the sub rate is only 30%, if it's 30% for everyone obviously none of what you are doing makes you special, you're just rat racing. The eye rolling ad reads. The really good tubers not only have a good lead in but mix it up with their own style, be amusing. Otherwise, I am reaching for the mouse. It's like fertilizer, oh, crops got better yield! If I use more I will get an even higher yield and repeat until they burn the ground and poison the river with run off.

The one thing I really appreciate about RLM is they do none of that poo poo. If you like their stuff you are going to sub. They aren't creepy with the para social stuff, keeping a healthy distance. They are out of maybe 3-4 channels I have literally watched every single video, all down to content.
