As someone who has long disabled youtube search history/recommendations (and shorts disabled with an extension) I was pretty shocked that only 4-5% of his views come from the subscription feed. The irony too is that this video of his is saturated with stock footage to break up the monotony (which he usually never does so it's more of a dunk on his dumber viewers) instead of just one longshot of him staring into the camera the whole time which he has done other videos about. Though part of this is possibly related to his use of a teleprompter and multiple takes to make better videos without obvious jump cuts but I suspect he's just high level attempting to dumb shit down to reach the lowest common denominators.
Related watching:
Overall these hot takes highlight the problem with doom scrolling as well as the overall decreased attention spans of people and the enshittification of all medias and movies which really started to gain momentum imo around 2000-2010.
Lets use the most common vehicle, movies. Movies used routinely to hold long shots but still held your attention.
Old Alfred Hitchpeepee movies are a good example of this which included slow long takes which were planned out in meticulous detail. Here's one of my favorite scenes showing this at it's best from North by Northwest (1959) :
If you haven't seen North by Northwest I don't blame you, but it's basically the original Bourne Identity except if that was a good movie without shitty shaky cam.
Not only was N by NW good, it was planned meticulously . I know this because I've seen Bigpeepee's storyboards for the movie.
Ironically, these storyboards are NOT EVEN really accessible online anymore and even trying to FIND them with AI fricking breaks the AI lmfao:
In addition, the AI links to shit artwork by a fricking r-slur zoomer who REMADE STORYBOARDS FOR HITCHPEEPEE WITHOUT FRICKING REALISING THEY ALREADY EXISTED
https://palmettostopines.com/page/2/
The irony.
This pissed me off so much that I went through the trouble to compile the real story boards, unfortunately it's so difficult to find this shit online anymore because of shit algorythms, I had to manually piece it together from a collection of High and low quality sources due to dead links and shit just so you can compare the actual talent making film used to have:
To round it off, here is a peak example heralding the one of the earliest clear examples of enshittification of movies. I always go back to is this trash one called Domino (2005) from the apex of Keira Knightley's career as a shitty proana actress. The entire movie is literally nothing but jumpcuts that are 99% sub 2-second shots.
Example, Just count the seconds between each cut:
The film bombed because it was shit and also unwatchable, but now the idea that you must be bombarded every second with SUB 1-SECOND CUTS is the eye way of the future, and driven 24/7 by algorithms and dopamine.
TLDR:
Reject algorithms
Embrace thinking
- Algorithm based feeds are r-slurred blackholes that result in feedback loop degradation/model collapse of your brain

Polish President Duda waited at Trump's door for 1.5 hours to talk for just 10 minutes

The talks between the US and Polish presidents were supposed to begin at 19:00 Polish time, but in reality they began at 20:30, and at 20:40 Trump began his speech at the conservative CPAC⦠pic.twitter.com/DcDDVeUHKa

The Bigger, Blacker Pope.
He would certainly trigger the Chuds.
Edward Pentin, the National Catholic Register's longtime senior Rome correspondent, released a book in August 2020 called "The Next Pope: The Leading Cardinal Candidates." In it, he lists 19 cardinals that he considers frontrunners, including some American candidates such as Cardinal SeΓ‘n Patrick O'Malley, former archbishop of Boston, or Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke, who was previously archbishop of St. Louis, Missouri.

Amazon now discloses you're buying a license to view Kindle eBooks
I've only bought a few ebooks but even then, I've immediately went and pirated them too to feel like I have something
Ever since Amazon removed copies of Orwell's "1984" from people's Kindles after sale, it's served as a reminder that ownership is a fickle thing
It's literally 1498.
It's ok boys, now you're allowed to pirate all books ever published as long as you don't seed.
If you heckon get the zucchini reference your a genus
This is the result of a recent law in California:
That button should say "Rent this book".
Claiming you can "Buy this book" is a lie and false advertising.
Yeah. I "bought" a Kindle copy of There Will Be War awhile back to get access to a few of the short stories in the collection.
Maybe not a super popular opinion on HN, but this effectively changes nothing for me. I love reading on my kindle, by far the most convenient way to buy and read books for me (esp when traveling often).
It's good that they are now being upfront about it, but it won't impact my buying behaviour and it won't for the majority of readers.
I don't think I would ever buy an e-book.
I really want to find a good way to buy DRM-free ebooks.
I really want to spend on
Support your local bookstore, before they are all gone.
Buy a printer moron
I have bought books from Amazon and Manning.com, mostly technical books. I have to say, I am so happy with the business model of Manning.com:
I am a booklicker , but I gots to say, some books taste better than others
And many more cuckistanis abound
