Breadtube if it didn't suck.

Post videos you genuinely enjoy and want to share, duh. Celebrate the diversity of interests shared by chapochatters by posting a deep dive into Venetian kelp farming, I dunno. Also media criticism, bite-sized versions of left-wing theory, all the stuff you expected. But I am curious about that kelp farming thing now that you mentioned it.

Low effort / spam videos might be removed, especially weeb content.

There is a cytube that you can paste videos into and watch with whoever happens to be around. It's open submission unless there's something important to commandeer it with at the time.

A weekly watch party happens every Saturday (Sunday down under), with video nominations Saturday-Monday, voting Monday-Thursday. See the pin for whatever stage it's currently in.

Can't wait for James Somerton to come back and pivot towards right-wing discourse, and complain about cancel culture like a good grifter who knows where the money is. He'd fit right in there with his misogyny and casual denial of other people's sexuality and gender identity.

Half of the comments on this thread is people claiming that they're too important and busy to watch the video, while simultaneously taking the time to comment about how they didn't watch the video.

Like who is this for?

Idk why people get so weird about media length. You don't like movies or videos that are too long? Okay, that's a totally legitimate preference, but just don't watch it then?

If you wanna have a discussion about how certain market trends are encouraging creators to make their content longer and longer and how thats detrimental to media as a whole fine. I don't get complaining about individual creators or pieces of media though, long media can be good, idk if anyone else has seen 1900.

Laughing at the people raging at this being four hours long, knowing that I already watched it all this morning and am currently listening to the 10 hour Wendigoon conspiracy iceburg video

If you’re into long YouTube videos, have you seen the 6 hour Down The Rabbit Hole about Eve Online that dropped like a month ago?

Made it through mostly, skipped a bit of the earlier segments. The video is good, but overly long because it has to show the receipts, so many receipts. I think the length also conveys the increasingly paranoid feeling HBG was experiencing while working on this video. What started as a simple concept eventually grew into a evidential flood and potential drama storm. It's mostly a PSA of 'Do Not Do This', 'this is the proper way to cite your sources', etc.

CommiePOGGERS yooooooooooooooo

Are their other full length patreon-only vids? I'm not gonna give him money but if there's a playlist or a torrent out there that'd be great.

Harrisbomberguy, I known you're reading this. Before shooting trim your beard or have longer hair or film at a 3/4 view. The line near the ears where it starts being beard and is twice as long is all I can see when you hare straight on to the camera talking.

Ok I didn't think I'd watch it all in one sitting, but I watched it all in one sitting.

What the actual fuck, you'd think after a certain number of plagiarisms, you'd have enough Patreon and ad money to hire actual writers so you don't get your entire career nuked from orbit when people simply Bing search your words with "" marks around and see it's from a 2013 blogosphere post.

this video was fantastic. somerson is a monster.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 9 months ago (1 children)

The second I saw the time stamp I knew 90% of the comment here would be complaining about the length. The collective time we all spend commenting about the length is probably longer than the video.

I love long hbomber essays. The Deus x one took me three sittings to complete

"at one point people decided I was breadtube, but also that they hated me for being included in that category"

Lmao. ~~~ I lost the timestamp and the direct quote but its about plagiarism so its all the more appropriate. ~~~

I'm really kinda confused about who is watching 4 hours of one person on a topic like youtube plagiarism without getting bored.

Do people watch these on 2x speed? 3x? Just download the audio and listen like it's a podcast or lecture?

Who is this for? What is the purpose or goal of it? Does anyone truly give a shit about plagiarism on youtube other than people making youtube content?

Real questions. Not rhetorical or irony poisoned. I do not get it.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

No 2x speed, happily lounging around on a lazy Sunday watching a well researched lecture on a topic that is made interesting by writing and delivery. Bringing the plagiarism back to how this specific instance is damaging the queer community brought it home for me. I like seeing people trying to do some good in the world. Bomber guy and Shawn skull guy are sometimes hard to get invested into the story but usually it's pretty great. I will admit I forwarded through some of the examples of the plagiarism because I don't really care about it, the analysis and discussion are more interesting.

I want to like documentaries but usually I don't find them going in depth enough into a topic. Long form deep dives into a weird topic is oddly fascinating to me. I also listen to podcasts a lot so this is similar content.

That being said, I don't know how weird I am but I do not like being advertised at so I don't watch any cable tv, I don't really like movies or shows, I don't like Western propaganda in my entertainment so that rules out almost everything. So, I don't know, this is about the length of a football game and for me a replacement of that.

Videos like this for a lot of people are used as background noise when they're doing something like cleaning or working. I've used these types of videos for a slower day when I have to clean out my place for an extended period of time. I think that's what most people use Twitch streams and podcasts for.

Short-form content can be a pain because you're going to have to switch is up every ten minutes or so while something like this will help you stay occupied for long enough to get what you need done.

I enjoy longform content when its made by someone who's entertaining and/or insightful. Hbomb in particular is both funny and fun to watch slowly become more and more unhinged as he dives deeper in a rabbit hole. But its definitely not for everyone. Also most of these types of videos could be way shorter if they were just more focused.

I shared with my wife a video on transmaxxing yesterday and today she wanted more takedowns of transmaxxing content and we both desperately wanted a measured response to transmaxxing this afternoon.

She saw this within 15 mins of upload and we are now 90 minutes in. This is quite the monkey paw curling.

this is literally just a four hour youtube drama video

[–] [email protected] 44 points 9 months ago

so weird anyone expects anything other than entertainment out of a youtube video imo. and people are comparing hbomb to dunky?

sicko-hexbear-woke

I watched the video in two sittings, I enjoyed it, it's drama, its junk, it's trash. anyway comrades, harris made a youtube playlist filled with a bunch of obscure queer youtubers, here's the playlist https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLRGz5EMig3r2ZDgeGzwUlSz-PzF-L1Xu1

I was planning on going to bed at a normal hour. Now I know how Eve felt when she was tempted by the snake.

You guys have to watch his last video where he exposed this huge fraud that pretended to be first American to work on Sonic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0twDETh6QaI&t=10s

Yeah my jaw was dropped the entire time I watched this. I grew up worshiping Shiny Entertainment and I had thought Tallarico was just some weirdly outspoken guy who was otherwise great at making video game music.

Now I don't even understand how he's led such a blessed life. He probably never even made the Earthworm Jim music. He's the most compulsive liar I've ever heard about

I wonder if wtyp is the same lazy plagiarism as many examples in this video, they certainly do joke a lot that all they do is read wikipedia out loud

[–] [email protected] 29 points 9 months ago

At least with them you could make the argument that their content is mostly them faffing about (which is the reason I don't listen anymore). I also remember that in some earlier videos of theirs Justin would use his civil engineer cred to pull blueprints of what they were talking about from the relevant archives.
