Two things can be true. Second wind is losing views cause no one cares about anyone that isn't Yahtzee and YouTube is run by retards that constantly fuck things up.
 
So, nobody is going to comment that Escapist channel is now pushing nothing but gambling videos?

Every comment is a variation of:
*Thanks for reminding me to unsubscribe!
*This channel really went downhill after Yahtzee left, huh?
*Is this channel hacked or did they genuinely sell it off?
*Zero Punctuation quote about how retarded the gaming industry is*
Now would be a good time to start backing up ZP videos btw.

It got mentioned yesterday in this thread, and in the Jim Sterling thread a couple weeks ago. Much like the remaining possible audience, no one cared.

Apparently I'm still subscribed to the Escapist youtube channel because I got notified that for some reason they uploaded a video after two years of nothing.

It's clickbait listicle slop so I won't bother linking, but I find it funny that the rotten corpse of the Escapist is more active on youtube than Jimbo.

They've uploaded 2 videos in as many days and both are promoting online gambling, so it looks like they've either sold the channel to Indians or are so desperate for cash they've agreed to shill Bossman's favourite haunts.

The fact the thumbnails are just random screengrabs...

The fact the thumbnails are just random screengrabs from the videos is pretty sus.

At this point it could just be that the account got hijacked and no one noticed. The page for the site is still online churning out boring slop no one reads even as recently as a half hour ago...
Reactions:Informative x 5 Thunk-Provoking x 2

The escapist is basically a zombie site now.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=s4jUOeU1v78Hey guys! Wanna see Yahtzee complain about another franchise he hates? No? Well to bad! You're getting it! Because he still thinks he's cool for complaining about MGS, like with Sonic.

Funny how everyone is an expert on this game all of a sudden, but would give you the nigger cattle flouride stare if you asked them about it just a few months ago. At least Yahtzee is a lifelong contrarian when it comes to the franchise(the stuck up git was one of those people who hated that Metal Gear Rising was "too silly" when it came out, for example) instead of a downright tourist that just takes random /v/ or reddit talking points and pretends to be an expert, ala Synthetic Man.
 
Yahtzee and Gabe put me in mind of Mark and Jez from Peep Show.

Yahtzee is the affluent one who attempts to escape the quotidian humdrum of the day job over and over but is foiled at every turn. Even a decade ago he was saying “ZP won’t be around forever” and flat-out stating he’d prefer to be a full-time novelist or game dev. Neither of these has or will ever pan out. Instead, he is reduced to grubbing for shekels from ManRaped and whining about muh algo while being taken advantage of by everyone around him because he is a bona-fide social retard.

I guarantee some part of him dies with every knob gag he’s still making, but he has to lean into the “comedy” schtick because it’s too late for his sincere work to be taken seriously.

Gabe is the slacker with pretensions of depth, spirituality, and escaping the Kali Yuga thru pure refinement of body and mind. Despite achieving nothing (a point Yahtz-Mark is keen to lord over him), he continues larping as a cultivated, golden pill chugging nigger. And while in your late twenties, it might be excusable to have only just woken up to the fact your life is slipping away and you’ve achieved nothing, in your forties it’s a lot less “charming gen X rebel” and more “sad homeless future suicide or basket case.”

And, like Jez, Gabe eventually goes gay (or whatever the fuck he’s doing with Aaron on KeepEtFaggy).

The initial period of Second Wind actually got me to check out Design Delve and Cold Take, both of which I really liked. But then Design Delve turned into endless reddit-tier whining and bitching and Cold Take got cancelled because apparently Second Wind's head editor is a conman or something? I don't know. I just kind of dropped off after that.

isnt gabe trans now or has a trans girlfriend
 
Cloud Somersault said:
Yes. And it's telling that you could pick any point between the start of LDO and now and Gabe's life hasn't budged a fucking inch.

And neither has his waistline.

Honestly I'm surprised people follow him. He just seemed like a normie nobody friend of Yahtzee and I expected him to fade away once their show ended.

Now I wish he had. He seemed like a decent fellow, what a shame.

From Aaron's tranny diaries:

I think the prevalence of discourse about trannies has normalised them to the point we forget just how disgusting and abhorrent they truly are.

Mask off and he’s revealed to be a massive cunt. He and yatz were funny but I stopped watching when his spacker mate started trooning out. Speaking of which.

That’s it. That’s enough internet for today. I’m off to kill some brain cells in the pub hoping to forget I ever read any of this.
