I've worked with Morgan Freeman. I've worked with Carson Daly. I've worked with Jessica Alba. I've worked with Ryan Secrest. I've worked with Reba McIntyre. I've worked with Sharon Osbourne. I've worked with Shirley Jones. I've worked with Hannah Hart. Can you guess which one was an order of magnitude more of a pain in the ass? Can you guess which one has accomplished exactly fuckall beyond Youtube? Now - you can extend that. I just looked at the Vidcon 2014 speakers and I've worked with about 40% of them. And everything I said about Hannah Hart? Holds true for every single person I've worked with. I'm glad someone on Youtube encouraged you to listen to a podcast about the Mongols. But nobody I've worked with who does anything on Youtube has ever done anything that would interest anyone over 20, and they've never done anything that isn't all about them. And that's where the Youtube hate comes from: Entitled attention whores that add nothing to the general dialogue and are more of a pain in the ass to work with than Ryan Secrest. This is not an idle observation. This is a cumulative experience over half a decade interacting with these fucks, rather than simply clicking on their faces.Mainly, I just don't get the whole hate for Youtube in general.
Hannah Hart? Is she the lady that cooks while drunk ? I think I watched one of her videos at some point and decided my time would be better spent getting drunk and cooking myself. Yeah, you're right that our experiences differ greatly. I've never actually talked to any Youtubers, I'm simply a consumer. I guess all I'm left with is the hope that the ones I listen to are different. I think 70% of my feed are 40 year old men making educational content and try to keep their private life private. Soooo I'll cling on to my hope they're different from the teenagers and keep enjoying the content :D Destin from SmarterEveryDay seems like the most genuine, dedicated and interesting person ever. He wants to be an astronaut. Like for real. I think he's an aerospace engineer and actively tries to get the job. I'd love to talk to him someday. Thanks for the perspective tho, I don't hear a lot of anti-youtube arguments in my personal internet bubble.
