God damn it, I spent like five minutes typing up a really funny reply to a comment and posted it, then a few minutes later get a notifciation that someone else responded to the same comment but for some reason mine is just completely gone. Fucking YouTube. :mad:

I'm sure this has been mentioned before but I dislike the comments that are talking about how they lost a member of their family, or just trauma dumping and talking about personal shit I can care less about, I don't get why some would go to a comment section to talk about the loss of a loved one on a completely unrelated video

I remember seeing a bunch of these in the comment section of a postal 2 playthrough

Most of these comments, if not all, read like "shit that didn't happen" and I feel compelled to call them out.
 
Not sure if this is quite the right thread for it, but there’s a YouTube channel I follow that looks to be going full crashout mode.

The channel was called Ordinance Lab. They’d blow stuff up, it could be a fun watch. About 4 months ago the owner of the channel announced that their heart wasn’t in it and he’s shutting down the channel.

August 17th, a new video comes out. The channel is being renamed to Philosophy Chemtrails, everything is going to be philosophy related going forward and the presenter comes across as a meth head. (Which he blames in ADHD).

PT

Video description comes across as a mix of 9th grade philosophy report and the kind of writing you see on the side of a van you would avoid.

Trying to explain nuanced philosophical concepts is much more difficult than explaining booms. There are a few minor misstatements in the video. In future videos, I will put more focus on avoiding such minor mistakes.

Hobbesian:
This refers to Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679), who wrote Leviathan, describing humanity’s “State of Nature” as a “war of all against all,” shaped by the violence of the English Civil War. To Hobbes, only an all-powerful ruler could prevent collapse into this chaos. When I say humanity is “skimming over the surface of a Hobbesian world,” I mean that civilization is never far from returning to such conflict.

Not Going Anywhere:
Humanity is not progressing toward an ultimate goal or better world. History is simply one event after another, shaped by natural laws rather than divine purpose. This rejects both religious teleology (a God with a plan) and secular versions (Marxism, Progressivism) that see humanity as evolving toward a collective destiny.

Who Will Wipe This Blood Off Us?:
Nietzsche’s Parable of the Madman asks, after the “death of God”: “Who will wipe this blood off us?” While he was not speaking directly about violence, the spirit applies. Without God, the moral stain of violence cannot be transferred to a higher authority—nor to substitutes like governments, ideologies, or progress myths. Responsibility remains with us alone.

I Do Not Believe in God, but I Am Not an Atheist:
Camus’ line captures both philosophical and cultural nuance. Philosophically, I do not believe in God, yet I accept the possibility of being wrong. This is not hedging; it is simply intellectual honesty. Culturally, it separates me from “New Atheist” figures like Dawkins or Harris, whose ideologies I reject for reasons similar to why I reject theology.

Shortcomings of the Enlightenment:
The Enlightenment brought material improvements unmatched in history—today’s poor live better than kings of 200 years ago. I credit it fully for these gains and would not give them up. But while it advanced comfort and technology, it did not make us morally better or provide humanity with a deeper purpose. That absence remains unresolved.

God Is Dead:
Nietzsche’s claim is not about a literal deity but the collapse of legitimizing narratives. With religion fading, attempts to replace it—progress, democracy, capitalism, Marxism—are themselves “God substitutes.” The death of God leaves a void of meaning these systems cannot permanently fill.

Wissenschaft:
Literally “knowledge-making,” Wissenschaft treats philosophy with both scientific rigor and cultural breadth, integrating history, art, and society rather than isolating philosophy as a sealed discipline. This approach reflects my intent: to grapple with ideas holistically, not abstractly.

Realm of the Forms:
Plato’s Forms represent perfect concepts existing beyond the material world, which we can only imperfectly express. Referencing this is a way of admitting we do not claim access to ultimate truths. We must work with the imperfect, lived world rather than pretend to possess perfection.

Intellectual Settler Colonialism:
This tongue-in-cheek phrase signals a willingness to “claim” ideas from any tradition, so long as their internal logic is respected. I freely borrow from Marx, Luther, or Kierkegaard while discarding what is irrelevant or indefensible. For example, Luther’s 95 Theses challenged church corruption. I reject his theology and antisemitism, yet see parallels between his fight against dogma and my critique of corrupted Enlightenment ideals. I also admire his courage at the Diet of Worms, declaring: “Here I stand. I can do no other.”

Suffice to say, this suddenly change did not go over terribly well with the old audience, comments were mixed to say the least, one of the biggest problems people seemed to have was that the owner wasn’t stating a new channel, but instead was piggybacking off the old one.

Channel owner took this very well

Another recurring thing that stands out to me:

Comments that start by listing the purported posters age, race and gender (almost always male). Sometimes a location or some form of status is also included ("veteran", "self-employed").

"26 years old, Black male. Louisiana", "White male. 48 years old." etc.

"As a woman..." which is then followed by the most brain-dead, socially acceptable take that has nothing to do with gender whatsoever. It's essentially pathetic clout chasing with a sprinkling of narcissism.

it's so tiring. Once I scrolled through a slightly older (but still modern) music videos comments, I think most (above 50% of comments) were some form of "like if you're watching in" (insert month or year) or the variant you showed. It means nothing, especially when a big chunk of the comments are just variations of that.

I swore videos on music never used to have many if any of those types of comments.

The main reason I'm guessing people do it is to pad fake accounts so they can do comments/likes/subscriptions for payment.
 
I know this was a spam comment on a livestream but it made me laugh

It appears that as of about a month ago Blaze the Movie Fan has DFEd his YouTube channel and Xitter after (possibly being gaslit into) admitting to 'accidentally grooming' a minor fan called Umbrus and going on a series of rants against Elon Musk and free speech.

Further down in that reddit thread someone claiming to be Umbrus says that there was no grooming that took place and that they are just as confused by this as anyone.

There seem to be suggestions of possible discord gay ops afoot further in the thread, though I cant find any screenshots or logs of these so that is speculation at best.

Generally strange but not unexpected behavior by an extremely autistic foreign manchild and I hope he one day returns to spread more insights on the film Madagascar, various Channel Awesome personalities, and pokemon fellatio.

I am not a ''believe all women/girls'' type of person, however if they say they were not groomed by a particular person then they are probably telling the truth.

Found a strange guy who's going on a pilgrimage. Shockingly large Patreon at $1700 for a channel that doesn't get many views.

Never understood why people make multi hour-long vlogs like that talking about most pointless bullshit that get 10 views but they keep releasing them every day. They must think one of these days it will blow up due to algorithm and he will become famous ranting about his favorite spaghetti and paprika recipe.
 
So I subscribed to a writing advice channel a while back called "localscriptman". Who generally had very fast, pragmatic advice for people doing scripts, or character based stories (I write as a hobby, and it helps to draw on a lot of pools. Recently , I noticed in my youtube feed I was subbed to someone called "HARTMAN" and who had a bunch of religious videos and rants.
I realize that this is Localscriptman, who left LA after what looks like some sort of episode and is now ranting about god and jesus to the camera.
This feels... Sad? I'm all for religion, but this doesn't feel like a healthy form of faith. It feels more like a manic episode.

The only time he talks about the switch from what I've seen

This seems to be the start of the descent.

Some people think it's an ARG. Others think it's a full on breakdown. All that I can seem to glean is that SOMETHING happened in LA and fucked him up royally.

I attached some posts he made on his timeline. It's insane because he seemed perfectly normal and a switch just flipped
