If the Game Master is upset at a player for using their own rules against them, that’s the GM’s fault. I can’t begrudge a guy manipulating a mega corporation (in this case, manipulating Google/YouTube’s algorithms) for profit. He needs viewer retention to stay at the top of the algorithm, so that’s what he’s doing. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [+] Lfrith@lemmy.ca 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 child) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] blanket@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 year ago (1 child) I think you're confusing 'excuse' for 'reason' here. no one is excusing his behavior, just pointing out that the reason he does it is because the system allows for this kind of behavior. we can see through the veil, but others are being hooked by it because it's designed to keep you hooked. it's the same with other charismatic always online personalities. they're really good at spinning their bs and people keep eating it up because it sounds good. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [+] Lfrith@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 5 months ago) [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent [–] janonymous@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago The viewers aren't the game masters, though. I honestly wouldn't want to participate in a game where I have to retain the attention of people without giving them anything of value. I think at some point those who participate also need to take some responsibility. permalink fedilink source parent [–] p03locke@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago This is a long-winded way of saying "Don't hate the player, hate the game." permalink fedilink source parent [–] Lightor@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago It's possible it's not an excuse. I'm in software eng. Doodles and on the fly flow charts are made all the time. It's much easier to follow a complex topic if you have something to point to. Especially when trying to tie together concepts, like interplay between services, timing, DB, APIs, etc. permalink fedilink source parent
