Yeah, it's troubling to me because I don't quite get the perspective of wanting to share details about oneself with the internet, but maybe I'm an outlier.

Even Emplemon is falling in of "let me tell you about muh childhood and personal life" spiral . Sucks because i generally like his videos, i guess they are trying to inject some pathos but its too cheap a tactic to have any effect. I wonder if there is a video essay course on skillshare that everyone is taking

So many channels I never heard of in this thread as of late, and to be honest, none of them seem to be even worth giving my free time to. I guess they all have a niche audience they can cater too but they seem so bland and boring.

Its a problem with these channels taking themselves too seriously. They might start making decent retrospectives with nice editing but something about getting attention from the algorithm fucks their brains and they start navel gazing and powerleveling more and more with each new video, i already take for granted that the narrator is going to go on an hour long tangent about his personal life bullshit instead of staying on topic. Most people on youtube who do video analisis are failed artists, failed writers and failed filmmakers. and it shows.

you can see this exact same progression with the channel In praise of shadows or Glink. They are going off the fucking rails.

Huh. Kind of unrelated because it's about a channel that's nothing like this, very far from this sector, but I was just thinking about this.

There's this fairly popular and informative gaming channel called Whatoplay that a few years ago started by simply looking at new and recent games for the various platforms, aggregated their ratings from various other sites (so it was neutral and not their personal opinions), and made lists of recommendations. Easy reference material, you want to know what the best kid friendly games are out there for the Switch? The best RPGs on PC? The best exclusives for PS5? (It has no games) The most anticipated upcoming games? They had videos about that and more. Clean, well edited, informative.
Over time, they started appearing on camera in some videos during introductions, with their names on screen. The personalities started becoming more prominent. Some videos were about "so and so"'s recommendations and favorites. I don't wanna blame it on the girls in the team, because they seem to have been there from almost the start, but of course they appeared more on screen than the guys.
Then they started doing Tiktoks with all the stupid little fads and dances that brings. Then they started doing streams of "so and so" trying out the new game.

As I type this, they're streaming one of the girls making clay figures.

To be fair, they still do the clean, neutral videos, but they did fall into this game of basking in the e-fame, making it about yourself.


Similarly, there's a media industry analysis channel called Midnight's edge. I've talked about it in other threads, but the short of it is that they started analyzing the production of movies and shows with their industry insider knowledge, sometimes they'd get info from their sources, etc. They'd report on rumors responsibly, and their videos were very informative and interesting.
Then they fell into the culture war, and started just reporting any dumb rumor that came their way. They're firing Kathleen Kennedy from Lucasfilm! For real this time, not like the other 35 times we said they would!

Long story short, instead of their well researched and informative editorials about the entertainment industry, over the years they became a channel about daily 4 hour streams with a bunch of boomers and Hollywood has-beens and never-weres bitching about wokeness. Which, sure, it's a problem, but saying the same things almost every day for hours on end? Fuck off.

And I'm certain there's countless more cases like this.

TL;DR: Not only horror channels fall into this personality trap. Gaming and Entertainment media channels that started very professional and informative are now largely about the people behind the channels, rather than the subject they set out to cover.

I think even if they don't want to start acting like cows the way algorithms and social media marketing work incentivizes that. Its always about the people and not the content. There's something somewhere about how putting your face in the thumbnails drives more engagement so they all do it, at the end the end is clicks not quality.

I'm glad to see that season 3 will be happening, I was starting to worry this series might be dead.

With his progressing schizophrenia, this'll either be amazing or a total trainwreck.

I'm gonna be honest. I'm a little concerned. I thought the series concluded well enough, with the amount of open-endedness left for people to interpret. If you ask me, it really didn't need a continuation.

Anyway, I haven't seen this posted so new Wendigoon, talking about an experimental, indie horror movie.

I found this interesting though I will admit that I found the "oh no, it was the demons" conclusion a little too basic when it comes to Wendi's analysis.
I dunno, I guess I prefer something more allegorical over muh demons when it comes to things like this.
But alas, that is his interpretation and far be it from me to say that it's a wrong interpretation.

I can understand that concern. I just think there was a lot more potential for interesting material just in virtue of the fact that there's a lot of American history to play around with.

Also, there are a couple of people who have expressed interest in the latest Wendi video in the Wendigoon thread, if you wanted to talk about it there.

I'm surprised he was able to get this done inbetween abusing his girlfriend and being a menace to society. Looking forward to it.

This is honestly one of the most pretentious videos I’ve ever seen.

Any other Kiwis have experience with this channel?

>Video on late 90s horror is actually about early 00s horror, except for Blair Witch.
>’I grew up in the late 90s’ born in 99 I guaran-damn-tee.
>’Everyone was terrified of Y2K then, I was literally told I was going to die.’ Nigga what? Nobody took that shit seriously except gullible grannies and evangelical nutters.
>Potential self dox

It’s all so tiresome.

Kristian has been making these melancholic/moody videos like this from the start of his channel. He used to be pretty big back in the day before the video essay craze really took off, then he pretty much just dropped off the face of the earth with only the occasional video popping up.

Anyway, I haven't seen this posted so new Wendigoon, talking about an experimental, indie horror movie.

That Faith video is never coming out, huh?

Really wish he'd stuck to doing more content on real-world mysteries and odd occurrences. I suppose there are only so many of those to cover, but it would have been interesting to see a continuation of his "A Deeper Dive" series on some other sightings of UFOs, sea monsters, et cetera.

ARGs and horror films generally, in my opinion, make for uninteresting YouTube content, because the former are a dime a dozen and are intended to be played rather than summarized, and the latter should just be, oh I don't know, watched.

More people need to reread over what they are saying and have even 1 second of thought before posting.

So many times I've typed something out and stopped before hitting enter to think "if I read this, would I care? No, I would probably think no one needs to know this bitch, put it in a journal".

Unfortunately for me, people raised on social media seem to lack any common sense or pride in having a personal life outside of the internet.

Was a smidge ironic wasn't it.

Classic Scare Theater vibes much? Give this guy a sub.

 

[TyrasGuard]

Nightmind is not only a furry, but he's a faggot too

Yes but he is a great source of new shit and i follow him just to find new videos and ARGs

 

[DenseDeerFather]

I can attest to this. But that's usually from his older videos. Thanks to him, I legit got interested in I Am Sophie and the Dad series.

 

[carbonado frog]

man, white women sure are fucking psychotic

 

[Bunny Tracks]

man, white women sure are fucking psychotic

Kellie: *says Jill's son was slow at getting his things that day*

Jill: *instantly accuses Kellie of sexually assaulting her son, and decides to ruin her life*

Well, that escalated quickly.

Apologies if it has been posted before but I quite enjoy a channel under the name Vintage 8
It has a multitude of series including a couple short films on the channel.

Theres shit from analogue horror about a Mind controlling virus that infects a town to a Series of videos about a fat guy with a stuffed bear (that personally I wouldn’t recommend because it’s a bit boring and the payoff is shit.)
Wanted to know if others enjoyed the same or if I have shit taste in gay internet horror.

Vintage is really good, mostly because theyre stories with an end in sight so it doesnt go on forever till the creator stops caring for years at a time, theyre also self contained with hints to a larger universe, my favorite is the Childent under the house, also cant believe they hired PPP and Warski to do the Bearlington short series.
