Pig has been sober for more than a month?
I guess it’s snowing in hell.
He is a functioning alcoholic so it makes sense as to the poor quality of the video. Sometimes people tend to operate better when they’ve been under the spell of the bottle for so long. Drinkers also tend to be chronic liars so who knows really, it is his word.
It's not surprising given what he offers for content. For example tank autists in general will either trend Bovington's Tank Museum chats and related organizations (for newbies and casual viewers) or follow the Chieftain and related company, in part because of the knowledge and objective nature of their material (much like Drachinifel for pre-Cold War naval discussion). All the Pig provides is drunken rambling which, at best, has some tenuous grasp of reality that's quickly defeated by both the video length and his subjective - and often blatantly incorrect - opinions. Click bait only gets you so far now, a lot of people expect informed opinions and evidence to follow up upon, something the Pig will never be able to provide.
When pig got started, the bar for entry was a lot fucking lower and the community much smaller. Now it's bigger, and under far more scrutiny. Pig can't make it like he used to.
I would wager that he got in because during this time period was the likes of Potential History (faggot who started the bomber Harris worship and making fun of anime, usual normgroid things, pompous nigger worshipper etc. I could write many things about him but I digress), Who was making videos that were short, popular history, mostly targeting the elusive “wheraboo” who would be on Facebook posting random bullshit. Most of it in my view was discussions spurred on from war thunder (see spookston’s channel) or other games at the time. These were distinctly Redditor content creators and thus when piggy came onto the scene around just before/during Covid, it was just more of the same. However as the space expands, you have the likes of not a pound of air to ground or Alexander the ok at length citing many sources or a 3 hour video by Combination K who is the only person (autistic foid) to start bringing previously untranslated Soviet sources to light about oil pipelines for the Soviet military during the Cold War, it’s tough competition. When you start getting into the nitty gritty about avionics or guidance systems, actual doctrine, night vision, these are things that require actual effort.
It’s a lot easier to get on your knees and make up shit to worship your amorphous racially ambiguous masters in order to own “da evil vatniks”. Also the likes of “tankies”, actual far-right individuals etc have been able to have their say more so all content isn’t derivative of old boomers being paid a handsome sum to perpetuate myths to keep up the mythos of the west or however the burger is flipped. Nvm, Libaboo is a perfect term for this.
This is why he is making longer and longer videos, on subjects well outside of his speaking matter. His politisperging, talking about Star Trek etc is showing he clearly cannot rely on the same formula. People also have Ukrainian war fatigue as it comes to a attritional standstill. As you said, people turn to mostly museums or people who clearly have the know-how to study enough to bring to light their own conclusions.
I think it just brings us to a point where he is starting to crumble. Even a lot of NAFO people or those who support a lot of his political positions despise him, or mock him. I think when the war is over it’ll be the real end of him, but even that is called into question. Can David finish the t72 series without his entire online career imploding? As he said before in his patreon post he is “feeling lied to by everyone”, he is becoming a retard with paranoid psychosis. Maybe I’m just looking into it too much.
None of these ideas are ever created in a vacuum, none of them are premised on the idea of technological supremacy and insurmountable technological dominance. In the end it all comes down to logistics and basic grunt usage which escapes the totally more superior minds represented by the Pig's drunken insanity - and hilariously shot down by Nicholas Moran of all people.
The idea of doctrine is foreign to David because it requires him not to drink himself until he pukes all over his gunt. This is too much effort for a slob like him. Also I’ve noticed very often number crunching autists (even ones who say they aren’t, I.e defence analysts or OSINT, even some political commentators) tend to not have a grasp to understand context to something. Hence why piggy’s t14 arguments only make sense if you live in a total vacuum.
