Youtubers teetering on the edge of cowdom - Who is next to fall from grace, and why?

Why did he think this was a good idea? The title is obviously sarcastic but he went out of his way to do this. Did he think trying to share audience with a retard commie was somehow going to benefit him in the long run?



I think he did say positive things about capitalism at several points in the video.

But he still made what is essentially fanwork for a marxist. His attempt at playing both sides is silly at best.
If I had to guess, he's at least "sympathetic" to commies and while he likes his business and is just a neo-liberal. Or he is a champagne socialist and supports something that in time will see him hang for being a rich White guy, no how much he supports race mixing. Or maybe his Chinese wife has been pushing Maoism slowly in the bedroom. The guy is a beta male liberal Canadian, so anything is possible.
 
I’m waiting for John Riggs to hit Lolcow status and I’m gonna hate every second of it. The guy seems too nice and I worry he’s gonna turn his silly, fun videos about repairing dead carts and discussing old video games into some virtue signal hugbox.

Just to be clear, I don’t WANT that; I just know what the retro gaming scene has become and, well…avoiding Lolcow status as a Retro Gaming YouTuber is like being in a Final Destination movie.

There, fixed it for you.

Never trust a YouTuber, never trust a Redditor, never trust an influencer.

Y'all need to wake up and take a cold shower, this ain't 2008 YouTube anymore or even 2016 YouTube, this is 2022 YouTube. Every YouTuber that actually has views (minus wholesome sculpting and bushcrafting channels) has a hidden motive, whether it's selling you garbage merch, garbage mobile games, or getting you to become a full-on political sperg, whether you become an LGBTQ+ Ukranian Freedom Fighter or a 3% US Civil War Accelerationist. It's the greatest psy-ops of all-time. It doesn't matter if anyone here thinks that a YouTuber is a lolcow anymore, as long as they don't get "cancelled" and have the right opinion, they will keep getting loyal followers to their channel.

Penguinz0, Kurtis Conner, MrBeast, Dream, H3H3 and many, many more. These are the new cult leaders of our world, the new Jim Jones. They can dictate what their worshippers do, since free will and free thinking is overrated in a world of pure celebrity, and they have a lot of followers, a lot of hidden assets that they can activate at any time with their brand of psychological warfare. They target children to get them to become addicted to a false world lying within the dark mirror in front of them and become unable to detach from this false reality. They don't even need to have genuine artistic or performative talent other than be a pretty face that that says all the right things, most these cult leaders can barely use a fucking computer, let alone edit most of their shit. If social media or the power grid goes out soon, prepare to see tons of people in the streets spazzing out due to withdrawals. If you thought the bad parts of LA were bad, you just wait for what's coming ahead, you have no idea. People that can't detach spend crazy amounts of time on social media, 7-8 hours out of 24. Hours of every day, every week, every year gone and wasted. All regrets, as nothing is gained from this wasted time. If time is money, then YouTubers and Twitch Streamers are the greatest scam artists of all time.

We have become the lolcows. They are the successful ones.

My honest opinion is to just bail out from all this shit. Disconnect. These people, these YouTubers hate you. Even if it seems obvious, it bears repeating, since the gaslighting and emotional manipulation used by some of these cult leaders is very intense. The reason why you don't hear anyone talk about it right now is that everybody is caught under the illusion that it's all simple entertainment. So it's futile to try to convince most people otherwise. Also, attacking the cult leaders thru some sort of autistic scheme will only make them stronger. What these cult leaders really fear is losing the eyes pointed at them, whether for good or bad reasons. So just disconnect your brain from the social media culture hivemind and look around you. Look for the people that you have brushed aside for this dumb shit, look for people that care for your existence. If you don't have anyone that even likes you, try to go out and risk having friends through some social gathering or group, whether it's in real-life or even online (preferably look for a group that has an online page, but meets IRL, rather than just online holograms). Remember that you don't need to go full amish, if you made truly trusting friends online, then honor those connections, without going too far. Just make sure that your brain isn't hijacked by psy-ops in the way that it was designed to make you feel.

It also helps to run away from the cities, or least big cities, as those will probably be dangerous areas to be living in during the coming years. Get healthy, disconnect from the news, and be careful of what you consoom.

In short, touch the grass and make sweet love with it.

Yeah, there's something to be said about conmen abusing their parasocial relationships with their viewers, and you just gotta call 'em out when you see them. (also don't say "y'all", that's basically nuspeak now)

Here, you need to watch this if you haven't already, it'll cathartically remind you of a certain podcast you and I both used to watch:
 
Probably jarekthegamingdragon dudes a complete politisperg on twitter and not to mention is a scaly that thinks people are lying about rainfurrest being a disaster
Well that, and he's one of those "PC Gaymer MASTER RACE!!!" types who spergs about graphics on games that are well over a decade old. Not to mention he's honestly got some really shit opinions on a few titles (his 'review' of Resistance: The Fall of Man immediately springs to mind).

That or his bizzare tendency to ree about hot chicks in vidya with the HURR DURR YOU CAN WATCH SOFTCORE PORN INSTEAD ( that was probably what set off my alarm about him being a lefty )
 
I can see Soundsmith and pretty much anyone in his friend group becoming cows in the next few years.I know they all like to chimp out on twitter and I'm pretty sure one of his former friends bearded expense even got exposed as a manipulative,suicide baiter a couple of years ago.
I think a lot of TF2 youtubers are going to get threads or at least a general TF2tuber lolcow thread
Just look at Zesty's sperging and his (diaper)buttbuddy Aar's existence, Sketchek using the Dead Ringer irl then becoming a Vtuber.
Should be pretty fun watching the shitshows unfold.

Could you elaborate more, please? I think beard now hangs out with Big Joey and Joey seems to be an ok guy.

Oh, no... Is he also a troon?

Yeah, and I don't understand why this would be a bitching point unless you're a hardcore lefty, you're gay and hate women, or (and this is EXTREMELY rare) the sexual content really is just tasteless (like in Ride to Hell: Retribution). But otherwise, why bring it up at all?

Anyways, yeah, I expect Jarek to start spewing his politics any time now. Once a lefty starts bitching a little, they'll wind up bitching a lot.
 
The King ETT. Honestly, this guy really let this false sense of fame get to his head. Yeah, he has a lot of YouTube subs and TikTok followers, but very few of them seem to be active. He’s been in a couple of tabloid articles and collaborated with YouTubers such as The Carpetbagger, but recently, there’s been stuff coming out about this guy from his former artist, and it’s not good. Judging by his videos alone, he already comes off as egotistical with self advertisement in almost every parody he makes. He doesn’t even appear to have that many patreon supporters anyway, and understandably so. His highest tier is currently $600 a month. I don’t know who he thinks is gonna pay that much, considering the very few benefits this tier has to offer. He also has a history of threatening people with legal action whenever they’d do something he doesn’t like, and he’s been deleting comments left and right from people who are calling him out about the situation with his former artist. He’s in his 40s and he’s acting like a spoiled child. Really sad to see.
