Unpopular opinion time (super alpha no pony edition)

People nowadays should lower expectations.

Expectations by definition imply expecting an external element to meet certain preconceptions from the person’s views often like a checklist. It’s a degree of dependence mixed with an emotional cap applied arbitrarily to yourself

In layman terms, many stuff causes dissapointment not because the thing is inherently bad but because people are always like hoping for the messiah or the advent of a new arcadia, and it gets worse for stuff that’s actually bad but got too much hype beforehand. Don’t give yourself into hype, be cautiously optimistic or always keep some degree of skepticism but don’t project yourself into a product. Otherwise you’ll feel unfulfilled and you will never enjoy anything for what it is.

@Twi Clown
I always keep my expectations to a medium level for anything and everything. I prefer to be surprised rather than expecting something to be amazing or good or terrible or bad

@Mr.Myoozik
I can understand that.
It’s easier to remain much more centered with said mindset.

The virgin quirky Deadpool like Harley Quinn vs serious real tragic Harley Quinn of the Caped Crusade.

I don’t care about this MrBeast drama, my recommended on YouTube is getting filled with videos about it and it’s annoying me

@Mr.Myoozik
Same

@Mr.Myoozik
“THE TRUTH ABOUT MRBEAST” I don’t even care about the guy and I agree.

@Mikey
The truth about Mr Beast is… he’s just a human not a beast.

Drama channels are just a bunch of leeches sucking every bit of pride and dignity of others on the receiving end of the whole shitshow for their own profits.

@Mr.Myoozik
Honestly, I only care about it because some channels I watch that talk about recent events (Atozy, Coffeezilla, Moist and Muta for examples of the type of news, even if only two of them talked about the recent Mr. Beast stuff) talked about how there is good evidence that Mr. Beast committed lottery fraud towards children, intentionally or accidentally. That’s a serious problem. It’s like when the video game industry sold gambling via loot boxes aimed at children, especially in sport games.

@Meanlucario
Think is from most of the recent video i’ve seen on Mr Beast, it has less to to with those issues and more about the whole Kris situation and trying to milk THAT situation for all it’s worth

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
That is different from what I’m seeing. The most I’ve seen from the Kris situation (outside of Kris themselves and their history of creepy behavior) is Sneako trying to throw everyone who criticized him to the wolves because they weren’t jumping on Ava the nanosecond that the texts were revealed (almost like these people want evidence instead of just jumping on gossip). It’s especially annoying when Sneako was the one advocating for getting rid of the age of consent a week before the Ava news dropped, so it’s hypocritical along with him being intentionally an idiot to “own” his “haters”.

@Meanlucario
Yeah I’ve been seeing both the Kris situation and the Lottery shit MrBeast was apparently doing.

@Meanlucario
you just know sneako is going to get similar shit exposed about him at some. you don’t run in his crude and say what he does without having creepy harddrive.

@Mikey
that and the contestants being treated like it’s the fucking purge/hunger games/squid games.

@Angrybrony
I hope if that day happens, the people who were listening to him about going after commentators for not jumping onto Ava feel shame for listening to him and learn to actually use critical thinking instead of blinding joining the mob.

@Meanlucario
oh they won’t, if you actually listen to that weirdo cuck unironicly you aren’t going to suddenly develop a unmushy brain.

I just want YouTube to stop recommending me this shit. I already hate drama channels like what Sear said and these vids popping up on my feed is making me hate them even more.

@Mikey
“Truth”, truth my ass. These channels are the video equivalent of those tabloid magazines you find on grocery stores, all sensationalist bullshit in order to get views.

@Meanlucario
Good for you if you enjoy that content, I don’t regardless of who the source is

Let’s Plays are the only type of content that is pure on YouTube right now. Markiplier, you’re our only hope!

let’s play content is the only content I can generally stand these days and worse for me I think I’m gonna get cut off in short order.

@Mr.Myoozik
Moreso I want to know about what’s happening in the world and Moist and Muta goes over that stuff along with their usual content.

Hopefully this will be my last post talking about this:

All those drama channels covering these big name YouTubers and whatever slip ups they make is making me realize how tough and miserable it must be becoming a successful content creator on the platform where you’re expected to be 100% squeaky clean and if you make one false move, you’ll get fed to the piranhas and have idiot drama channels talk about you endlessly and how you’re the worst person alive. Obviously I’m not stupid and I know why scrutiny is getting placed on everyone because a lot of them got away with crimes in the past until they got caught and that even popular YouTubers need to be called out for their actions, but it seems like it’s spiraling out of control where anyone can come up with false allegations to ruin someone’s life and have people believe you because of mob mentality and modern sensibilities. It just makes me long for the good days when YouTube was about people having fun and posting anything to entertain people instead of now having TMZ and tabloid channels scoop up all the attention and create this atmosphere of negativity and misery.

I am optimistic that since the landscape of YouTube changes all the time like everything else, maybe by the late 2020’s this whole drama culture can die down and we can go back to actual content creations, the very thing the platform was designed to be.

Unfortunately, that’s never gonna happen as long as there’s a capitalistic economy.
