Someone asked the question on that sub, “Why do people hate on Discovery”. And I answered.
I wasn’t edgy. I wasn’t trying to insult. I explained, I gave definitions, I made examples. Apparently the moderator wanted my post to be censored because I wasn’t being “honest and truthful with myself” and used words and terms that weren’t allowed, such as “Mary Sue”.
Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?
Lemmino. Quality only got better over the years. Started as a top 10 memes channel. Then became top 10 cool subjects presented like documentaries. Now it’s actual documentaries.
Gameranx. Watched them when they were still just two or three dudes just talking about games. All those years, they made it pretty big on YouTube, and they still didn’t lose that vibe.
In this day and age two dudes can’t have some kind of interesting relationship without “relationship” immediately meaning they somehow have to be gay and into each other romantically.
Kind of a trend, the amount of youtubers who i had loved but their content became generic after gaining popularity is quite a bit, most drastic one being mrwhosetheboss, his uniqueness went down faster than MH27 MH17
But he already made those in top 10 format. There isn’t much “mystery” to talk about without hyping up certain things like science journalism tends to do a lot.
He could make a documentary that goes into deeper details about one of the things he already mentioned in his older top 10 videos…
I started watching VSauce well over 10 years ago, so I’ve experienced how his content changed first-hand. I feel VSauce dropped off when Michael became an internet meme, when VSauce made it “big”. They got their own studio, their own merch box, and I thought this was going to be an upgrade to the content between VSauce 1, 2 and 3. But then Michael made that YouTube Red series and that was basically a brick wall.
Only Jake Roper still made some good videos for some time, but that stopped eventually too. Mindblow stopped, Build It, Draw It, Play It stopped. Instead of seeing anything that would justify having a studio and a team to work with we basically got, like you said, Michael reviewing toys from their merch box, and Kevin doing some math philosophy once in a while.
Mindblow is technically back but… it lacks any energy or soul that the original Mindblow had. It’s sad…
Top 10 videos aren’t typically my thing either. But Lemmino is next level. His top 10 videos are very well informed, and before he started making actual documentaries, only got longer and longer. It got to the point where every entry in a top 10 vid was like a mini documentary on its own.
Um… I always took that to mean positive slang describing a person. I don’t think I’d use those words for an actual fire. I’d be just a tiny bit more direct.
“Excuse me, I’d hate to bother you, but the other room over there seems to be just slightly on fire… Uh yes… The whole thing…”
I have had a tendency since my earliest days on social media where I will get halfway or more through a response, and end up just cancelling it. Sometimes I feel like I’m just being to over the top with snark or otherwise don’t want to be that kind of person, but a lot of the time I’ll decide I just really don’t care...
I often don’t comment on things in the first place, because someone else already covered the points that I want to make. So I do an updoot and leave.
Then there are times I want to write something funny, realise it’s only funny in my head and doesn’t translate to text at all, then just leave it.
Then there are the many times I’m thinking of putting a lot of research and effort into a response to some really stupid take… But I realise it would just be a complete waste of time. Efforts wasted to try and educate someone on science when all they want to do is continue believing in whatever nonsense they believe in.
No, retro is for those old school upskirts. You know the ones; where this curly haired blond girl is all “eeek!” on a really small stool and the camera is looking right up the skirt.
Hmm… I think what determines nudity to be artistic instead of porn is the presence of urns. Yes, if there’s an urn you can immediately tell it’s intended artistically.

Blame the US for that. They want to be the center of the universe. Now they’re the most easy and recognisable country to use as example on how NOT to do things.
I wanted to switch to Linux for several years because I was very sick of how Windows did things.
With Valve doing Proton and Windows 11 being a much shittier Windows 10… With rumours of it eventually becoming a FORCED update!.. I decided to actually switch to Linux last November.
Haven’t regretted it. Haven’t used any other OS since.
I take issue with 06. Denmark is 100% beer country. This chart seems to forget Carlsberg and Tuborg exist. The instant Friday hits water get replaced with beer.
Well… Lemmy is the place for nerds who understand tech or at least want to understand the tech they’re using. So everything you consider opposed to just being simple is pretty simple to the average Lemmy user.
Elon Musk is getting a taste of how strong workers unions are in Scandinavia. I remember reading something about McDonald’s very nearly getting kicked out of here from Denmark because how it was treating its workers.
Crispy fried duck bowl. Found a place less than 1km from where I live that not only stays open until midnight (which is great because I work late), but also makes the best crispy duck I’ve had in a long time.
Hey, so I believe in a higher power but I’m not on board with any particular religion. Anyone else think it’s cool to just fly solo as a good human, no religion attached?
There is no Marvel fatigue. There is no superhero saturation. What there is, is simply trash. Make a shit superhero movie and the movie will just be shit. It has nothing to do with there being superheroes.
Hollywood doesn’t get it. People don’t seem to get it either. But these phases are just repeating itself. It used to be cowboys. It used to be cops. Then pirates. It used to be sword and sandals.
Cowboy movies are fun. So are pirate movies and superhero movies. If they’re made well!
The moment some execs look at a bunch of numbers and think “Oh, people will pay money to see X”, THAT is when things go wrong. No, people pay to see good movies. And Marvel used to be hype when they made good movies.
I’ve been seeing all these posts about Linux lately, and looking at them, I can honestly see the appeal. I’d love having so much autonomy over the OS I use, and customize it however I like, even having so many options to choose from when it comes to distros. The only thing holding me back, however, is incompatibility issues....
I already used open source programs on Windows. The programs I’m using to do all my work with are Krita, Blender 3D, Gimp, and Libre Office.
They either started out on Linux or support Linux natively, so switching to Linux didn’t really change any of the programs I use. The biggest change is playing games, but Valve has made it very pain free.
Dear Lemmy, **why** Star Trek??
Every single large server in this federation has at least one Star Trek community. There is even an entire server dedicated to Star Trek....
Which YouTuber still creates high-quality videos to this day?
Seeing the other post here about YouTuber that went downhill and seeing content creators I am familiar with makes me sad. But how about those that still makes great, high quality content?
