Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

New Nick Crowley. More dark TV moments.


My autistic hyper-literal mind thought the balloon priest and the cop guy were kinda cheating as the moments without context weren't really dark IMO as it was ominous and cop dude was basically a PSA. It does become hella chilling with context.

Also I could do without the retarded dramatic pauses.

"One of the darkest moments......................in TV....................history."

Nitpicking aside, pretty good video. Although I did think he pussied out when covering the news segment with the guy jumping into Niagra Falls in the background.

"For obvious reasons, I can't show what happens next."

Meanwhile on Youtube:

It's not that graphic, come on now, Nick.

In defense of Nick, YouTube is so fucking sensitive when it comes to serious topics.

He doesn't want the video demonetized or strikes against his channel. YouTube is very anal about this now. You see people saying "unalive" instead of kill. Even some Reddit reader channels say "am i the jerk" instead of "am i the asshole".

YouTube will allow videos of a guy waxing his asshole but saying fuck will get you demonetized.
 
Is Walten Files 4 ever coming out? Cause right now it looks like Martin’s gonna milk his e girl fanbase till the end of time.
 
Not to play devil’s advocate or anything, but regarding true crime/spooky content YouTubers censoring language a la Lazy Masquerade, I think that is the fate of all channels like that. They’re constantly getting demonetized and shadowlisted for “glorifying violence” and “misinfo” and all manner of stupid reasons despite them trying so hard not to do that. Advertisers are also apparently not as willing to appear on such content, even though Investigation Discovery (for example) doesn’t have an issue getting commercials. I used to keep my TV on that channel when we had cable.

I recently subscribed to a channel named Disturban. It’s a heavily accented British guy but
he covers a wide variety of cases that most will not have heard of. I like the style in which he
presents things. He announced via community tab a couple days ago he has been demonetized and is appealing, but if he loses the appeal, he will cease the channel. He says the reason is because the content he makes “isn’t his own” (so as if he is just reposting shit). Could be a bullshit reason just so they can axe another growing crime channel.

So unless YouTube decides to stop being retarded (won’t happen) OR YouTube decides to just ban this content altogether to "protect muh kids" or "stop violence glorification" or something, this is what will happen to every channel.

Granted I still think the censorship cringey and could be greatly lessened (i.e. Lazy Masquerade
again censoring the word depression).

Oh yeah he's been widely discussed in this very thread with the dreaded "essay".

Didn't know he outright got his monetization taken away. That sucks.

That said, he also has a secondary history channel that covers human rights abuses and horrific diseases through time. Wonder if that one got hit too.

I quite like Disturban too but I think YouTube has a case here. He videos are always relatively short, he retells crime stories found in online media and uses largely unedited photos from those media too (sometimes just one or two photos on a loop), and he doesn't cite the sources clearly. His own input, even compared to other True Crime channels, is very limited - I understand that that is the point of the channel and his narration and voice are the real draw, but this makes his content far less transformative than other channels, and YouTube has it out for those channels.

Compare Disturban to Lazy or Shrouded Hand or even DocumentingEvil who all retell real crime/historical stories, and his channel appears to have the least creative input by the content creator. You could use three articles on a case and ChatGPT and create a Disturban script, but I don't think you can do that that easily with a Shrouded Hand script. And that's a problem on YouTube in 2024.

Here's the community post : it's set to be coming out on February 9th at 9 PM EST & the next two after will supposedly be coming within this month. The show is confirmed to be getting a season two, so it's getting milked to the end of time anyhow.

YouTube has demonetized history channels for talking about WW2, saying it's glorifying Nazis. If the advertisers don't like WW2 documentaries then the history channel and things like it shouldn't have ever been a thing. JewTube is gay.
 
Unrelated but it reminds me of the shitstorm that happened when it was found out that they also demonetized LGBTETC channels too while claiming how much they loved the gays.
It reminds me of how every year when pride month comes around, corporations will change their banner and profile pics to rainbows on their social media accounts but don't change it for their Middle East branches.
 
Do creators such as Dreading count as horror channels?
I think he does. Iirc, it's not the first time he's been brought up in the thread.

Speaking of bringing up, curious timing that Nick uploaded his video, then this one came up a few minutes later.

I think it's merely a coincidence though. It was a good video from a channel that had been mentioned once in this thread. Text-to-speech aside, it was a pretty good video.


I think it's more in line with what I wanted from the Nick video. As in moments that happened on TV as opposed to moments that are only creepy with additional context.

And no dramatic........................pauses......................

Thank god.

Edit:

Also slightly noteworthy that no one had talked about that freaky clip about a news anchor almost getting gang-raped by a bunch of Indians.


I suppose it's not as extreme as the other cases of natural disasters and hostage situations.

A much less extreme incident is the creep who grabbed a news anchor's ass and her boss ready to toss the guy over a bridge.

I hate the sanitation of horror content being pushed by globohomo companies and people who cant stand actual scary shit. I hate the over dramatization these faggots do (as mentioned above with Nick), stopping every minute to pause, and speaking with a loooow stilted spooky voice as if they were the phantom of the Opera.

Why can't it just be straight fucked up horror stuff that I can watch and go "Jesus, I won't be sleeping tonight." Give me pure unadulterated spooks, pump that shit in my veins directly through an IV. I wanna be scared  nigga, not bored.
