I just watched it a moment ago; pretty impressive, considering his main channel's previous shit has been boring and heavily censored. For example, I had to ragequit out of his video on the dark secrets of the record industry because the fucker kept censoring the words "drugs", "shot", and "cocaine". Meanwhile for a video about dead bodies, there's surprisingly not a lot censorship in this new upload. Usually folx of his gentry keep using that dreaded "un-alive" newspeak term.
Y'know, speaking about that, this reminds me of a dude called Geopold. He's a pretty great youtuber who talks about geopolitical stuff and just general geographical stuff in various countries. He's quite humorous and I do love watching his videos whenever a new one comes out since he tends to bash on countries and lists their positives and negatives, but I do hate how censor-heavy he is.
I get it, yeah, YouTube's terrible when it comes to ruling what's acceptable or not, but GOD, does he love censoring words like "murder", "drugs", and even "guns" from what I remember, censoring it all with a bonk sound, which I hate to admit, can be a bit funny at times.
But overall still a bother because dude still shills his Patreon at the end of the video to see "uncensored" content like dude, no, I'm not buying into your Patreon just so I can watch a video without the 50 bonk-censors, man. If I want to watch a video without mindless censors, I got Fascinating History on my side.
YouTube's (poorly ran) monetization standards has been a disaster to video essays.
