A bit of an interesting video by Micro that describes Private Equity firms buying YT channels.

Vdeo was posted on r/YoutubeDrama, and one of the commenters mentioned that they got so pissed off learning about this that they made a chrome extension for it lmao.

Honestly I'm surprised this news is now breaking. I figured private firms would had done this when the news of YouTube creators ranking in mega bucks years ago. I can't blame them. Hearing how YouTube channels such as Ryan's World making millions from YouTube and merchandise sales I was shocked. Compare that the how much money Netflix, Disney Plus and Hulu invests into creating a movie or series to a random YouTube channel that does the bear minimum. What happens? Unless the companies release something popular most people are not going to care and media is not going to report on it. However, with YouTube there's always viewers and it's a great alternative to both cable and streaming. Personally I'm neither a fan of ads or channel membership option. Give me that old school YouTube, "Oh, who's this AVGN? What game is he going to review today?"

I think part of the reason why people are now noticing it and complaining about it because we have seen what feels like an endless amount of examples of Private Equity completely skullfucking x industry/business. It is impressive how the reputation of PE took a giant ass nosedive once their assets/investments started going into bankruptcy one after the other.

I hate MrBeast too but the slopification of YouTube isn't really his fault. This is something YouTube themselves have been actively pushing towards for a long time. They punish content that isn't bland slop for the lowest common denominator. Just look at words like "unalive" and other retarded euphemisms which solely exist for the purpose of not getting your videos demonitized and buried. MrBeast and others like him are just taking advantage of this system that YouTube has created. If it weren't him it would just be somebody else.

Yeah it was an inevitability but MrBeast was the person to profit the most from it happening, so he deserves the perhaps undeserved blame he gets as part of it.
He's also so large/significant that YouTube policies and shit basically form around him and what he tells people works they will blindly try to copy - he already tries to make money off of selling that kind of advice with shit like thumbnails.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet as KF's search feature is bugging out right now. The Amazing Brando who made a series of great music parodies of NES games has trooned out.

Should have mentioned this in my first reply but goddamn the lighting and filters make him look like one of those woman latex masks lunatics wear. I know it's a mental disorder but I just don't get how these fuckers think they're fooling anyone. Like, somewhere under that there's just this dweeby guy who used to rap about videogames (right):

"Who here in 2025" on a video that is like 4 years old.

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.

tons of old video game music is like this, faggots call it a "checkpoint"
videos like this one are notorious for them. I scrolled down and it's all I see

oh, according to the pinned comment "internet checkpoints" are some faggy thing lol

There's something similar but also vaguer in a way that feels like bots in other old video comment sections I began observing a few years ago and possibly brought up here. SWATHS of comments on old high viewcount videos that just say "DAY [number here]" and then some random shit. The non-botty ones seem to be "day since first watching" or "day since first comment" or some other vague shit. It's very gay but weirdly since it first hit vids people have been clearly trying to assign meaning to it.
You see it on a lot of old YT uploads of niconico stuff. Seriously check the comment section.
 
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.

A lot of these comments are also obviously trolling/shitposting, so I don't really know what's going on.

Magic Mush has admitted to having autism so he likely feels deeply uncomfortable asking for money and decided to do this in-between thing that feels awkward instead. He should have just swallowed his pride and did a go-fund me instead.

If he did Deadwingdork type streams he'd fund a new PC easily.
 
Nathan Barnatt, or "Dad" who has been known for being a returning fighter in the Creator Clash events; announced today that his cameraman murdered their entire family and hired day laborers to dispose the corpses. The cameraman killed himself in jail earlier this month before he could be tried.

Of course Nathan is like HOW CAN I MAKE THIS ABOUT ME?! I pointed that out in the YouTube drama sub and got downvoted.
Part of me wants to make my first thread about this tard but then I realize I'd have to watch his content and do research and I'd rather not. God his energy is just the worse.
