2024-08-18 22:23:40 +0000 UTCIt's interesting to me how there are now distinct generations of YouTubers. Been an RLM fan since the Prequel videos, but I only recently started watching Nerdrotic, Critical Drinker, and the like. I appreciate what they do and find their takes on modern entertainment cathartic. But after less than a year or so of watching them, I'm reminded why I stopped watching the TV news years ago: it's mentally exhausting. People spewing negativity into the world through their cameras day after day after day. It's so much healthier to just opt-out. But of course YouTubers are incentivized to pump out the negativity because that's what gets the clicks and generates the revenue. I'm not even saying they're wrong to be critical about the dreck that Hollywood produces. Just that the "critical content culture" of YouTube ensures way more heat than light. I think y'all are wise to chart your own course away from these folks. I get so much more enjoyment watching Mike, Jay, and Rich Evans play Bloodhound Gang/Marilyn Manson trivia than I do from the ever-growing list of *hours* long videos detailing why the latest Star Wars thing is the new worst thing ever™. Speaking of this latest generation, you guys *really* triggered them with your Acolyte video. ;-)
