Oh, this is the end. First Mike is whining about YouTube views and now he's unironically using PDFile. And 3rd video in a row they are whining about how fans are stupid and don't understand them

Have you gotten to the part yet where they dance around the word "faggot"?
 
Okay I had to replay a couple of times to figure out what could possibly be being 'bleeped' [with Hanna Barbera cartoon bongos] at 4:29, and it was "murderer," which they had just said mere seconds beforehand, so I'm guessing they're hitting the rules on all fronts here. What a cockup.
I don't have the perfect solution, but "be more funny" usually works.
 
That solution seems so obvious that I checked whether Youtube doesn't like that, and it turns out that too many beeps in a video may cause it to be flagged as not advertiser friendly. At least so this guide says.
Maybe they should do the trick used in rap songs in the late 90's and early 200s for radio versions. Say the word, then loop in the word reversed to cover it.

Piggybacking off the mention of the HB bongos since animal noises were mentioned also, it looks like they threw the kitchen sink at YT.
for an indication of how YT acts as the Ministry of Truth, scrub to 2:28
 
I guess that's why some channels use animal noises instead to bleep, maybe they could use Suburban Sasquatch noises
Just be like OneyPlays and use the Donkey Kong soundclip from Smash Bros every time they say retard. It's way better than using gay ass terms like unalive or PDF File. I'd rather a censored word than some orwellian newspeak plaguing a video.
 
Are there people that still think Disney hired JJ because of depressed midwestern drunk said so?
I think it's combination of statements like "Well, YOU got what YOU wanted, now what?" and their modern takes not getting near-universal approval from SW and RLM fanbases. So they are using most fringe statements to laugh it off. Layers of irony and meta are perfect armor against everything: "I am not taking this seriously, so why are you?"
 
My inference is that Mike and Jay resent being pigeonholed into comedy and discussing "movie of the week" tentpole slop in a send-up manner barely a step removed from what they parodied with the Nerd Crew; and punish their audience for these trappings of success by withholding whichever specific titles they feel subscribers and patrons are "bothering" them to spotlight (see: Transformers, The Batman, Plinkett review of Rise of Skywalker, etc.). My expectation is that, as time goes on, Mike and Jay's bottled resentment will grow more overtly contrarian and petty in their refusal to be what they consider "dancing monkeys" (i.e., giving their audience their money's worth), while hypocritically refusing to get off the Patreon tit in which their weekly updates promise big, exciting things people have been asking for.
I don't know what's more embarrassing, that a bunch of depressive Wisconsinites take this shit this seriously, or that the people ITT take this shit this seriously.
 
I decided to peruse the RLM reddit thread and not one person brought up the nuspeak. We know what audience they care about.

I checked their patreon and can't really find any numbers on how much they make, but I can't imagine they need the youtube money. Graphtreon says almost 10k paying subs, with a min of $2. Probably an easy 50k a month.
