How YouTube is part of a Problem

To get the real important stuff right at the start, the thing is: YouTube, next to other ... things, are a conductor to something; Which ... I don't need to highlight to you because after all, you in the end are part of the same problem. And by the way, same goes for me!

We're all in this together - and whether you want to accept this problem being a problem or not - that is now quite what the problem is, kindof. Its not the problem itself though. I tried to write about this frequently as its an issue that keeps on bothering me - and throughout all the different attempts to do so, ... I feel comfortable on firstly calling it 'ignorance', but more specifically things that bring ignorance about and that to the point in a negative sense.

As a real prominent 'case example' taken from reality there's the whole 'Donalt Drump' story, where there was ignorance, partially condicted through YouTube and effectively negative in hindsight. I mean, to put it into perspective: What has Donalt done in the three month he's president so far - and what of it is actually good? Give me that list and I have a list of reasons to condemn that man!


And so the huge "exterior" of that problem is, well, like a thick fog - where basically the whole world has become an echo chamber and only a few find themselves outside of it, but ... so kindof happen to be the minority. At least, thats what we're led to think and believe. Luckily there's that guy going by the name of 'Bernie Sanders' who's done some great things to show us that the 'truth', the 'reality' of things is that most people are matter of fact not on the side of Drumpf - would actually be on the side of Bernie but got fooled into the Tonlanld party ... somehow ... by, well, adding the word 'socialist' to whatever Bernie proposes for instance. Well - that goes now a bit deeper into the issue. Like, how many people liked 'Obama Care' and how many liked 'the Effortable Care act'? Same thing, but most people dislike Obamacare, but do like the ECA. So, lets call that 'shenanigans' for now.

If you're not 'well informed' enough, and yea, being well informed these days is rather an issue of 'Luck' than actually trying to be informed, you might still root for Dump - who is actually quite effectively 'illegaly' the president of the USA - when taken seriously. Kindof.
Where yea, if you swallow the false pills you don't know what I mean. Its ... part of the Constitution of the Americas that the president or any of the officials are not to take any gifts from any other state authority. That thing. And Drump just takes a Dump on that. But yea ... well ... thats that.

More confused than that are issues like ... the success of the Force Awakens or the Amazing Spiderman. Confusing like - at some point I would want to draw a line between Star Wars fans like this Star Farce fans like that. Everyone can these days hang up a Dragonball Z poster, wear a Star Wars shirt and be publically accepted this way - though in reality being more like the "Star Wars fans are fat ugly jerks sitting in the kellar of their Mothers House" type of people!
(Dragonball Super has the quality of a cheap (and I mean: bad) Hentai Porn without any Sex scenes!)
Which is yet another issue. What is 'good' Hentai? ... What is 'good' Porn? You know it when you're into stuff! But I argue, or basically 'claim' the the 'ordinary true fan' is a silent person not too vocal on the internet - while basically having been bullied out of even trying to speak up at some point. Like, you try to argue that the PS4 has the better specs and the next day the web is crawling with mobs calling you a Sony fanboy for it! And that sentiment is still around! Although the XBone officially sucks - being kindof positive towards Sony is like the worse thing you can dare to express. So, lets call those people 'Agents'. (Of the Demonocracy).
Or, lets label it a "Phantom Menace". I mean, I know there are people who genuinely enjoyed the Star Wars prequels - and I include myself - just as much as there are people that throw up thinking about the Farces Awakening - but ... "we" ... are a 'silenced' group on the internet.

This however is a problem because the big companies go by the money they make. Big Money = success, Small Money = fail. But its not all fair that way! Introducing you to "the G2A controversy". Maybe check out Jim Sterlings "Bulletshitstorm" video to get started, and don't miss out on Total Biscuits piece on the Gearbox issue.

The whole money=success formula is easy and simple - and as a businessman, why wouldn't you go by it? Clear, but the problem is that the 'surface' on which it stands is more like a sieve or swiss cheese than the place of Heavenly piece in Beijing (a.k.a. Concrete).


So there is 'us' - those that are 'pissed off' by what we see day by day - even more so since there is no tube we can simply shout into and be heard by everyone. That is what the Internet was cheered up for, giving a vocal spot of relevance to everyone - but that has somehow failed us so far - as - to every idea worth listening to there are 12 morons trash talking - and how to now find the few meaningful comments?
Oh, did I mention the Amazing Spiderman? How was that again? There was the trailer, the announcement, and all of us were like "Woot, yet another Spiderman? Boooring! Suuuuucks!" - though it was by far the best portrayal of Spiderman so far. The next/upcomming one doesn't look that great - lets face it - but all those Disney Hipsters are already up onthe roof hailing Spideys "Homecoming" - and I'm sure that most of the mentally not yet disabled people out there are like |Buelch - get the fuck out!|. I mean, now its really "Yet another one?" - but we feel like "Yea, Homecomming! (I guess .... right? Really?)".

And its gonna be a success because this 'hype' has enough gravity to draw enough people into the theatre. But how many will then have really liked it? The bad thing is: Even if 99% thought it was shit - the success would give leverage to Disney prying Spidey off of Sony's hands - like it already happened with Star Wars. And now we got the Shit awakens, Rogue fucking get off of my screen and ... no end in sight. So, more shit movies - as opposed to true cinematic quality. Mad Max Fury Road anyone? What a great movie! But ... I can dig how its not everyones piece of cake. Its ... not for your average popcorn 'BvS sucks' type of person - its ... something more for folks like me - that have gotten sick and sicker of all the jackshit thats been on the screen and linen up to that point. Hunger Games? What a rip off! Seriously - the Cliffhanger ending of the second one had me back into: 'Cinema sucks' mode.
And yea, it gets to a point where you just don't want to pay any money for a movie anymore - so you'll turn to more convenient and less actually risky methods - but no matter how often you write "the Amazing Spiderman 2 was a great movie" onto anywhere in the web, who cares?!


What we really need is a proper understanding of majorities and minorities - in this issue - and most simple to get: When checking on whats in the web, our impression depends on the bullshit:good ratio of the respective content creators. See the "YouTube-pocalypse" for instance. Some jerk found some Coke add on a racist video - and mailed to a bunch of companies saying: "This shit is happening" and now all the 'good channels', like China Uncensored, are in the shits for it because YouTube lost like ... how many ??? A lot at least! Well, thank God for Patreon!

But so is the problem! Without having a 'safe zone' for 'where to look' - well - you'll possibly end up associating the term 'safe zone' to 'Snowflakes' and ... well, pardon me, idiots like that!

And yea, I said it! Idiots! And now I'm gonna burn in hell for Murder - sure sure - like, I ain't gonna pretend that I don't think of dislokating some peoples jaws sometimes - and comitting adultery in heart is like comitting adultery in real life. Well, Cermon of the Mount says so. It also says that we are all screwed - and that certainly isn't the gist of the New Covenant - isn't it? Its a bit 'cynical' - 'a bit' because its not actually that intransparent when written out. Its quite clear: We're all screwed - we can twist the law into either of those extreme ways - so, whats the point? Start using that thing above your neck! Its called a 'head' - and usually it contains what scientists refer to as brain! You never seen one? Well, you got to take their word for it! Same goes with Climate Change! Well sure, you can also do some reading and actually get a more rational embrace of those concepts - but - yea, ... wouldn't it be nice if such things could be common sense? But common sense is kindof ... part of the problem!

Common Sense isn't automatically correct! It used to be common sense that the earth is flat - although it also was common sense that with just a bit of looking you'd realize that it isn't - but - it wasn't that 'common' of a 'sense'. See the point? We've actually made it kindof far ... but maybe too far! We're ... too convenient about how things are! We don't care about whats going on in space anymore! We can't 'act' as a society wondering: Hey, what are these strange phenomena? What about the Black Knight Satelite? What about this and that? We can't shoot a satelite into space 'for common interest' yet have to rely on really thin and very shallow news that however all seem to be tailored towards hyping up controversy and derationalizing any common sense and locking us into more and more twisted conspiracy theories while the other side just looks away saying stuff about Tinfoil Hats. To say: We are locked out of stuff - stuff that is kindof trying to tell us that we are a part of it - like, this beautiful perfect world where all can be happy and everything is done in conjucture with common sense and the peoples interest!

A fairy tale it is! That is the truth! Whatever side of whatever coin you are - it should be pretty obvious!


So the solution to this - when real, has to be really real. So - I can only point out "so much" - trying to keep ahead or afloat or so - but that isn't necessarily good; As its a fake type of uniformity. We could start with the question: Who agrees with me? And wonder how to actually figure that out! Like, how many! So I had the 'bandana' idea. Like, everyone wearing all blue or red to signify the one or the other; And thereby also allowing us to see who doesn't even have a clue of whats going on - next to all those that just don't wanna give me any attention. So yea ... this, ... is however kindof how I think about the near future - at least as a backup plan of some sorts. Saying ... yea, right now - all there is - is knowing whats going on and ... starting to resist!
