Watching all the Dreading videos on the Chris Watts case. I really slept on this channel, it’s good shit

Hey, that series is comedy gold! I couldn't stop laughing at the section where they're imprisoned in the big shady government base and have a twitter slapfight with their captors. And it's all taken 100% dead seriously. "Everything is fine." "Everything is not fine!" "Don't listen to our prison- I mean guests, they don't know anything." "Look at all the evil shit these guys get up to!" "Staaaaaaahp it." "Ratio'd."

I am convinced that a lot of this series aren't expected to go past "season one" and they just make shit up as they go, which is a shame because I really liked TSV's concept. It reminded me of that series which was a guy just filming things happening at night and it turned into aliens and a huge ARG that constantly asked for donations and had like 5 different YT channels you had to watch.

I don't know why they can't keep it simple and short.

Dreading makes great videos, honestly better then most of the stuff that is considered horror content on the platform now. Something about it happening in real life always adds an extra layer of creepy to Me.

Yeah man, I usually hate true crime but I dig this channel

Pick your poison:
- Artistic types always had a problem keeping things in scope. How often do we hear from some artist about how much they wanted to do or how big a project was supposed to before an evil producer or someone with common sense stepped in
- A project takes off the ground and the creator suspects that this is their only project people will pay attention to so they draw it out for as long as they can
- Money

Can't relate but I understand why. It's been done to death on essentially every platform and most of it is "mom core" now.

It’s mostly the channels where it’s some girl doing her makeup while talking about a horrific murder that rub me the wrong way

Oh yeah those are horrific and reek of self obsession. I'm more of a fan of jcs, Dreading and some of Micheal strawns original content.

Jcs is great. Matt orchard is also good if you haven’t watched his stuff yet

One thing I don’t understand: Why do people form parasocial attatchments to content creators even if you do not want them to. It’s fucking annoying.

If your channel is meant to be a community or something and you’re passionate about it that’s absolutely fine, but if it’s a content farm channel it’s just weird. And then people seem to think they have a claim to you and start talking about “us” and “we” as if the people who viewed your channel are some sort of monolith.

The dumbest and simultaneously most depressing one they say is “never meet your heroes” in the context of a youtube content creator. Like dude, sitting in front of a microphone in your parents basement makes a man a hero to you? Go make firefighters or soldiers your hero, doctors and nurses your hero. It just makes me sad.

Y’all remember that pastra dude ,the guy who got yelled at by urbanspook and cause his “melt down” . I don’t know why he posted this?

There's your answer, @HumbleServantOfRizzler

A more in-depth answer would be many-fold. As illustrated above, oversharing and being way too personal with the audience. It also starts out small with the function of people sharing their lives on Twitter and Instagram, interacting with fans, and the weird little heart thingy creators can leave on certain comments that tickle them fancy.

In short, no boundaries. And yes, there's a use of "us" and "we" like they are all in this together.

Moreover, you have kids and young adults on the internet deeply imposing on a content creator because "I watched them when I was depressed or lonely or going through shit or yada yada yada much childhood"

Not enough content creators make it clear that there needs to be a defined boundary and the random loser making videos for your entertainment is not your friend nor do you know them nor do they want anything to do with you beyond interacting with said videos.

They had a good premise with a dude just trying to survive and slowly losing his sanity in a sunless world filled with deadly alien strobes and bleak circumstances, then they blew it by having dudes chasing after him to get his oh so valuable Twitter account like that was the biggest concern of grown-ass soldiers in a post apocalyptic world.
I dropped the series hard after the protagonist sacrificed his life by using his magical dark water blood to take down one of the spaceships, and they STILL tried to continue after that very obvious stopping point.

I don't think they did, no.

the last webseries that really made me interested were CH/SS and i am sophie
it's a shame the guy behind i am sophie lost the plot because he did a good job parodying the kind of rich cunt you see on instagram

The thumbnail in the top left corner made me think it was Cyraxx for a minute.

His attitude is too flippant for me, though. Like, I don't need every video to be super heavy, but when he adds rave music and does a little dance, I feel like a ghoul for enjoying the cocontent.

I also don't like how he kind of stokes the American distrust of the police. Given America's current political climate, and him being a foreigner, I don't think it's right for him to do that. I get that police drop the ball a lot with cases, but I find some of his comments inflammatory.

Edit: my bad, I was catching up on the thread and didn't realise how long ago this was posted.

The best part about this is that I can imagine this guy legitimately tearing up as he writes that wall of text to inform his loyal viewers that his mental health has been doing so poorly he'll have to postpone his next half hour rant about how Scrimblo's Playdate VII is revolutionary and takes horror to the next level.

That sounds awesome. Links? People treat this stuff with too much reverence. People die, sometimes in horrible fashion, but a century later we should be able to talk about it without pretending to be all sad like we knew them. it's like people who say "passed away." Nigga this ain't preschool just say died.

Enjoy, Bailey Sarian is the leading goirl in this space.

Real talk I thought this was a tranny for years, because I only saw the thumbnails. Turns out she's a woman who puts on make-up that makes her look manlier than she is. She's YouTube rich so I guess it works for her but it still weirds me out.
