    I don’t regret any of this one bit, you look them up and it’s always someone shilling products extremely hard while doing extremely low effort content like reaction videos or streaming Minecraft.

      To me, reaction videos are truly astonishing. Like, the number of videos reacting to some thing typically outnumber the thing itself by the hundreds. People prefer watching somebody else watching something so they know how they should feel about it. It’s the modern version of the laugh track.

        I’ll turn shit off if someone keeps pausing the actual clip to provide absolutely nothing worthwhile while wasting my time. So annoying.

    My friend with young cousins was telling me that kids are using “sigma” instead of “cool” now?

    “That’s so sigma, bruh.”

    The fuck?

    Personally, I loved the idea of new media. Cable was shit.

    After experiencing new media… there’s some good stuff in there, guys. I promise. Just gotta wade through mountains of shit.

    There should be some rule like; if you have a preference it can’t exist all by itself unless it’s watered down or mixed in with every other preference.

    Thank all that is good for genres. At least there is some media that can define itself clearly enough and still build enough of a following to self fund.

      If its good enough, the news of it will get to me eventually and I will see for myself.

      This is how I live now.

      This is what it means to be old.

      I’m 34.

    I used to work at a hikers’ hostel on the Appalachian Trail. A group of hikers needed a ride into town but were short on cash. One of them suggested they offer the hostel owner some weed in exchange for a ride. Another one said, “He doesn’t smoke weed. He’s old, like in his 40s.” He actually was in his 50s and bought his weed from me lol

    I’m a school bus driver and my elementary school kids go on about somebody named “Queso” (sp?) on Youtube and I find myself constantly fighting the urge to see what he’s all about. It can’t possibly be good.

    I often need to remind myself that Harry Potter, and Lord of the Rings are not recent movies.

    It’s the same as being a kid in the 80s, which I was, and thinking The Seven Year Itch was a recent movie. Now, I had seen that movie on TV, because my parents liked it, and I thought it was funny, but never did I think of it as “recent”.

    Still, you can’t tell me that Harry Potter movies didn’t happen in the last ten years.

    They’re lucky not to know, doop fell hard off after it was acquired by Skoot Corp.
