Box office is an objective measure of general interest and can be data points in an emerging trend. It's necessary to tell if good movies or slop will continue. So far, slop is winning because the artsy movies also suck as art and as business.
Youtube doesn't just demonetize anymore. They're openly threatening to delete channels for wrongthink, not just demonetize them. I don't know if RLM has received any such admonitions, but even I've been "warned" by their automated systems that my account could be deleted for posting the most milquetoast comments. Full masks-off mode.
YouTube only occasionally warns you when posting comments, but I have noticed they censor your comments over all sorts of shit without warning all the time. I have started editing and re-posting my comments as a point of rule now if I ever bother commenting at all. Protip: If it errors out and fails to edit then that means the comment got removed. You can also just right click the date next to any comment and open in private window to see if it's censored.
Yeah I've seen that too. The "true crime" crowd must be shitting bricks about that; "shocking" photos behind "sensitive content" warnings are their bread & butter.
Some hardcore woke types consider moron to be a slur these days.
Dude, it's a rejected rambling from Spitballs and it is from the past, chill.
One of the key problems with Youtube is that they use speech-to-text to detect the no-no words. Of course they'll never tell you which words are the ones that will get you in trouble because Youtube is run by bots and not real people.
Standard doxing technique at this point. You don't actually need to consult a lawyer at that stage either btw. It's enough to say "nuh-uh." They can reply back "yeah-huh!" and Youtube will take it at face value, take down the video and hit you with a strike, but it's in no way any kind of "legal" victory. There's no judgment (or even ruling) against you. In fact, if you pay close attention to the exact wording Youtube uses, they're not even DMCA claims. They're "copyright claims" and "copyright strikes." It has literally nothing to do with the actual DMCA. Even a successful "copyright claim" takedown that results in a "copyright strike" in no way provides any kind of legal benefit to the claimant under the terms of the DMCA. If the claimant wants something from a court to spank you with, they still have to start from scratch.
This back to back to back with "Half in the Bag: Movies Suck!" and "Black Void: Movies SUCK!!" only to go to "Snippet of something where we talk about how MOVIES SUCK!!!" is just too much. I don't know if it's Mike or Jay or both, but they can't leave the subject alone and are using it to nosedive the vibe of the channel.
Whether they are brainwashed from birth to be anti-White, or newly-woke [which is just a new coat of paint on anti-Whiteness]:
I'd just like to racistly point out that "spook" means both "ghost" and "nigger." CHINA NUMBAH ONE.
Why would you even expect a horror movie set in the deep south to not be a cringefest?
Wasn't the whole concept of vampires originally about the taboo nature of being queer?
It's hard to pin down 'originally' with vampires, because it goes back to prehistoric times. If you go by 'modern', I would think that would be Bram Stoker and I don't believe there was any woke queerness going on there. Anne Rice was the one that is responsible for that part IMO.
Oh yeah, I did forget about Fearless Vampire Killers. I haven't seen that movie in forever, but I remember thinking that Roman Polanski guy was a good actor and director (and Chinatown of course, hit bit part in that is a highlight. What a shame how that went right after all that...) . I never read any Rice, but I remember the movie of Interview was flat out full faggotry allegory.
I wanted to give it a chance against my better judgement. It had positive buzz around it, and was Coogler's "blank check" movie. I liked Creed well enough, so I thought I would be a nice white patron and support my BIPOC arts
, perhaps it would be a dumb fun movie about vampires ! That seems like a cool original idea...
