LMAO

Its a very small moment but you can see Carl's self criticism catch up to him as he talks about his inability to edit videos efficiently. It just washes over him for a second, amazin'.

Imagine having YouTube as a career for years upon years and never once thinking that "I should learn how to edit videos".

For fucks sake it isn't even that hard.

Sargon isn't a Youtuber. He's talent. His next job posting will be for someone who can fetch lattes, handle suit-purchasing, and provide audio-book precis.

Ah, they excuse that makes me hate most content creators.

I do not get it. This always comes up when they have been doing it for years, usually as a job.

You would have thought after doing it for a couple of months or so you would have a process, especially so if you are making money from it.

Any basic video editing tutorial on YouTube that can be found within five seconds extols the virtue of the Goddess of Presets, Shortcuts and Hotkeys.

Within a day of wanting to go professional, you should have a template where you can just drag and drop everything and it will format and edit everything correctly. And I do mean EVERYTHING. Text, audio, video, clean up your fuck ups. EVERYTHING.

You can even download templates other people have done usually free, if following basic instructions is too complicated. This takes five seconds on Google.

Since you can work on multiple projects at once within an editing suite you can do all of the videos at once if they follow a template. And then you can shove them into a rendering que.

It would not surprise me, considering how popular YouTube is and how everything is online nowadays, that you could link your YouTube and the editing suite would upload it once videos completed.

Regardless, I know you can upload videos to YouTube and time them when you want them to go live.

In short, everything is basically automated or can easily be made so.

How is Carl not good at this or even aware of any of this after years of getting paid to do this and years of saying he needs to improve? He‘S read countless books to try and get better at understanding his opponents yet for some reason has not bothered to get better at editing, which if nothing else would actually provide him with useful skills and make his work better.

No wonder he would not even rape Jess Philips, he's too fucking lazy to try.

How is he this lazy?

I think you mean "listened to countless audiobooks while raising his wife's dinosaurs" . Even if there was a decent editing manual in audio, would he even retain the basics in the face of such thrilling pixels?

I want to be optimistic and think that Carl is pivoting his content towards more of a VICE-style mini-documentary, somewhat in the same vein as Black Pigeon Speaks. Think of all the content he could do: Cocaine sampling across the English southwest, liberalistismist tours of the great "white" north, Bangkok's finest ladyboy clubs, filming his divorce proceedings after returning from Thailand, harassing Kraut n' Tea IRL in Austria, the possibilities are endless.

The “hot” takes videos aren’t going to change apparently. He just wants more special videos to come out more frequently.

What he doesn’t realize is that he’s basically become a suppository for hot takes, the fancier videos would gain more attention than most of the hot take videos but its not likely to really meaningfully increase his audience size. Some short term bumps in overall viewership really.

Or put more simply, Carl, your audience watches you out of habit and only really cares about one form of your content.

That update video’s views are abysmal in comparison to the usual shit because no one cares about you beyond the takes.

 

[John Carmack]

So is he gonna use some of his six figure Patreon to pay this video editor? Honestly asking, because I don't know if Sargon has ever payed the hanger-ons who do things for him.

Maybe he'll offer to make him a partner in lieu of payment like he tried to do for the artist on his kickstarter game.

 

[Fascist Ferret]

Yeah, and there were those weeks for this week in stupid where he hosted other people instead of doing his own work... I wonder if he paid them in money or only exposure...

They were paid in GLP (good liberalist points) and Carl cummies.

I can see the editor thing spawning some decent drama if he doesn’t handle it really well, which considering its him is pretty likely.

 

[Doctor Placebo]

Well he does really, really need someone to handle suit purchasing for him because he clearly can't handle it himself.

Even this one bugs me. The tie is too light with the white shirt. He should've gone with a darker purple. More importantly, why does he never wear a tie right? Tighten that bitch, don't have it hanging loose like that! It looks slovenly to the point it would be better if you just ditched the tie and unbottoned your top button. If Applebee's had a more formal dress code maybe you'd have learned this by now, Carl.

These jokes will never age poorly, as opposed to the trannies Carl lusts for

Amazed he hasn't tried taking credit for Brexit.

Also, Happy Brexit Day, Brits!!

Give it time. Carl's brain only works so fast and Vee may be too busy doing furry rp to craft a great "my important work discrediting UKIP guaranteed that the vote wouldn't be split and allowed Daddy Nigel to claim the victories he needed to become a kingmaker in the UK general. If not for me and my loyal liberalists, this outcome was shaky at best" narrative

 

[Terrorist]

Carl has become what he hates: A lib(eralist)tard cuck constantly getting owned by some alt-right eceleb's FACTS and LOGIC.

Faux-edgy centrist shit where bitching about "identity politics" is somehow a worldview unto itself is unthreatening to anyone but outdated bluehair catlady stereotypes. You're living in 2012, Carl.

Gamergate is his senior year of high school and "I wouldn't even rape you" is his fourth touchdown in a single game

The most wonderful thing. There is decent audio guides. However you are right, he probably would not retain anything.

Maybe because he would be suiciding his country if he did that.

That or you know, take some of that amazing money your making and actually enroll in a 3 week course. It's not that fucking hard.

Clearly not enough, because every recent run-in he had with someone he disagreed with (old Dicky Spence, Mauritian Struggle, hell, even Fuentes, who is an idiot) just ended up making him look more like a bumbling pseud. Picking after low-hanging fruit always seemed his specialty, and reading stupid news articles on a screen requires as much editing skill as it does brain power. I maintain that Sargon would've stayed popular if he just turned into a gaming channel after the 2016 election.
