If you don’t use YouTube, you’re also screwing over the content creators you enjoy. You can cause harm to a company in many ways. Stop using a site prevents them from making money off of you. Preventing them from actively making money off of you while you’re still using the site actively takes money away from them. It is double sided sword because you’re also not actively supporting that content creator. However, if they don’t have another platform to post on, you can instead buy merch, donate, or simply help the algorithm boost their content by watching their content.

I don’t disagree with you. YouTube should no longer be a viable business. Something else should step in and rival them. But since that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen, I’ll be happy running adblocks, and letting them not recoup their server and operation costs from me.

We already have one! They did an event about 3-4 months ago. https://toast.ooo/c/canvas

Hello neighbor might be good. I enjoyed the first one, the rest not so much. But I imagine a young kid would love it.

I want to make it entirely clear that I agree with you. I just want to bring this up for insight and perhaps understanding.

Reddit has a pretty bad incel problem. Incels are very similar to online Nazis. Out in the open they try to speak in code and find other incels, and in their own communities they get nasty and start being vile. Now this isn’t always the case, and incels are much more brazen than nazis, but the premise is similar.

Once is want to find other incels. And they do so by using dog whistles. One of which is ‘females’. Of course this is a common word and its ridiculous to just ban anyone using this word. This mod went way overboard. But if you’ve been around enough of these ‘quiet’ toxic groups and had to mod, you might have acted rash as well.

I wouldnt mind the first kind if they didnt have a playbook to defute every single one of your points in a manipulative way. I really don’t give a shit what you support as long as it doesn’t directly involve hate or oppression, and as long as you don’t try to shove it down others throats or try to insult people with opposing views every chance you get.

I imagine a lot of people over im hexbear are chill. I hope so at least. However, every encounter ive had with them, feels like the conservatives over on reddit. They try to ‘own’ you with loaded talking points, and bad faith arguements.

This is a VERY good way to put it. I imagine its hard to start where they left off with so much time in between. Writing styles and comedy have changed within the last 10 years. We’re in the age of attention on top of that.

Im not saying that it wont be Futurama. It will be. It just wont taking off running with the steam they left off at.

And i think thats exactly what the first episode encapsulated. It wasnt bad. But it didnt really have any juice to it. To me it felt like it was because they were more focused on shoving the ‘idea’ of futurama down your throat more than anything else.

With that said, I really do hope the next couple of episodes are better.
