Nexpo/YT Horror Channels - Do they all suck

[FILTH Tourist]

They can't even come up with some more creative ways of announcing a person's death like "cease/stopped breathing" or "never moved again after that", but saying "unalive" is genuinely some violent inducing zoomer speak right there.

• Shed their mortal coil
• Ceased living
• Bought the farm
• Offed themselves
• Gave up on life
• Took the express elevator to heaven
• Sunsetted
• Meet Peter
• Gone with Jesus

I don't know why they don't use new terms, aside from variety it could help develop channel branding and fan culture to have their own terms for it.

Something I don't get is why do the ladies go gaga for a killer whether real or fictional because it boggles the mind someone would go for an overt predator like that.

Something I don't get is why do the ladies go gaga for a killer whether real or fictional because it boggles the mind someone would go for an overt predator like that.

It literally just boils down to egomania. There's a perceived danger, they think they're somehow special/valuable enough for the perceived danger to not want to hurt them and then their ego inflates. People are weird and some weird people are attracted to predatory behavior because if they aren't the ones being victimized they can get a high off being the odd one out.

Something I don't get is why do the ladies go gaga for a killer whether real or fictional because it boggles the mind someone would go for an overt predator like that.

It doesn't happen with just random killers either. There aren't any ladies going after people like Elliot Rodger or Randy Stair or George Sodini, neither are they going after people like Timothy McVeigh. It's a specific subset of killer, the serial killer, that some women go after, and even then there are some characteristics that they have to have to be able to incite desire.

Altough Ted Bundy is obviously the most prominent example, the best one to analyze is Charles Manson. Manson was a guy that knew his way with words, who, mentally and before the Helter Skelter fiasco, was a little out there but could be talked to, was relatively young, and was also depicted heavily in the media while at the same time maintaining a certain air of mystery.

It's basically the combination of fame (or infamy), relative charisma, and rebellious but undefined nature that creates a middle point between a cult leader, a teenage outlaw, a distant loner and a socialite that makes some women go crazy. It's a semi-blank slate of a pretty and (in)famous guy upon which some women can see what they want see and image what they want to imagine, as well as inventing a fairy tale about how their love turned a monster into a man.

Rodger is out because he was like an open book, he got no girls and thus he wanted to kill everyone, open and shut. Stair had the appeal of watching paint dry, he's out because he was a non-entity when it came to words. Sodini was a lot like Rodger, but he was also old as well as very obscure, as this works by having a small group starting a feedback loop that embillishes the killer and irons out his flaws, like a broken telephone. McVeigh was simply a schizo and a weirdo, that had insane and incomprehensible theories as his driving force.

The stars have to align for a killer to get this treatment, but they do align from time to time, and, just like with an equation, the outcome is always the same

Something I don't get is why do the ladies go gaga for a killer whether real or fictional because it boggles the mind someone would go for an overt predator like that.

Something about male dominance and the "mystique" that really gets a female's hormones running for them. Bitches be wild for a guy who kills others and aren't open about their motives behind it, some real primal feelings at work like seeing two cavemen beat the shit out of each other those hundred thousands years back and seeing who gets their skull bashed in at the end.

 

[Bunny Tracks]

Something I don't get is why do the ladies go gaga for a killer whether real or fictional because it boggles the mind someone would go for an overt predator like that.

It's because they're just as mentally fucked up as them, and want an attack dog, or a partner in crime.

Make no mistake, men also do this too although it's rarer due to the fact that serial killers are primarily male.

I agree with that point ^, but man do youtubers have a hard time maintaining a consistent level of sincerity when they start using euphemisms. You'll be listening to a video about a horrible tragedy or a suicide or something and suddenly someone took a "pew pew" and "self-exited game," and it brings the gravitas to a screeching halt. It's like talking to a 4 year old about 9/11 and having to explain how big bad meanies took their biiiiig shiny airplanes and went NYOOOM right into the buildings so they go bye bye!!

"Unalive" and "SA" suck because we can't talk about suicide and sexual assault/rape openly, but at least those terms are clinical and dry. If I heard a youtuber say someone "offed themselves," I think I'd be more upset at how crass they were being about someone's suicide than at them censoring the words "killed themselves."

yeah basically all the creators of the genre bow to youtube only channel i know that does adjacent content that won't is DEADBUGsays seems to have hurt his numbers quite a bit

 

[The Skeksis Emperor]

I think I'd be more upset at how crass they were being about someone's suicide than at them censoring the words "killed themselves."

I agree with that, except I find 'unalived' to be really crass and disgusting. 'Took their life' or 'ended it/themselves' or something are preferable and I can't understand why people don't use those, other than TikTok brainrot. But in the end it's all personal preference, I guess. Give me a good old censorship beep anytime.

I wonder if the term 'assaulted' is even on YouTube's naughty list. Could you use 'assault' instead of 'sexual assault'? You might be accused of downplaying the seriousness but at least it's better than essay. I'm almost tempted to make a YT channel just to figure out which words are the real no-no's.

 

[Freelance Police]

George Carlin knew what the fuck he was talking about during that one act about "soft language".

People don't die anymore, now they "forego the continuance of their personages vital operatives".

 

[Shek$il]

I think you're putting too much blame on the creator. When did you view the video? It is common practice to record a video without the edits and upload it, let YouTube algorithms decide whether it is monetizable or not then when it is approved, it goes live. But even then all it takes is a manual report of some snowflake or another YouTube algorithm that has different parameters flags it. There is a lot that goes into running a business, who knew?

100% of my blame goes to the creator. If you want to make content that's important to you, then do it. The problem is they don't want that- they want to be adrolled Betterhelp and Manscaped salesmen.

It's not good enough for them to release a quality product with a third party tip-jar of sorts. They need ad revenue. They need big name sponsors. They beg and beg and brown-nose for that shiny set of golden handcuffs so they can sob it got harder to move their hands around later.

They want to have their cake and eat it too. All of the benefits of being an algo-slave under Lord Youtube's protection, and all of the benefits to cry victimhood when the five companies you've bent the knee to start telling you what to do.

Fuck'em!

 

[Absurdist Laughter]

If you want to make content that's important to you, then do it.

You know who else who did that? Null. In an ideal world where sanity holds the majority, you'd be correct.

 

[Chromeo]

Yeah, and Null had to practically reinvent the internet just to keep the site up. I still think it's not unreasonable to understand why people who consider YouTube a job want to be able to make money from the thing they put hours of work into. Not everyone is autistic enough to devote tons of their time and energy on something that gets hidden from everyone immediately, makes no money, and makes the mainstream mad at them.

 

[wtfNeedSignUp]

The big question is who is it for? You need to be 25+ to actually have memories of using Clippy or old internet. Ditto for actually interacting files with .exe files. So it's either bait for zoomers larping as millenials, or millenials who are way too fucking old to be scared by this shit.

Some zoomers are interested on how old technology worked, not unlike how during the early 2010s there were creppypastas about cursed videogame cartridges. This is due in part to fear coming from the unknown, if you don't know how Windows XP works, you can be convinced about it doing terrible and scary things.

It's actually very akin to an old man telling you scary stories abput weird things that happened when he was young, but over the internet

 

[RandallBoggs]

I literally could not care less if a YouTuber wants to shill sponsors, I agree that it’s not unreasonable to want your work and time to produce money.

I just don’t understand why so many of them insist on doing that retarded mid video ad break. “…And the stalker was never caught after this horrifically graphic murder. In this day and age, protecting your privacy from creepy stalkers is crucial. Thanks to today’s sponsor NordVPN—“ holy shit, kill yourself.

Is it really that fucking difficult to do a 30 second ad read at the start of the video? People will skip ad reads regardless of where they’re placed in the video, if anything you’d think sponsors would rather you do it at the start, since that ensures the viewer is guaranteed to see it. Who’s to say someone won’t close the video before the middle ad read? Is there some stupid algo reason I’m not aware of?
