Basic rundown on what’s going on with YouTube atm from what I understand:
YouTube changed the algorithm for the site’s coding, resulting in big-time YouTubers like H3H3, PewDiePie, and even @therealjacksepticeye losing hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of subscribes at an alarming rate. Basically what they’re doing is dropping subscribers from these popular channels if you haven’t watched their videos on a daily basis and if their daily videos aren’t getting X amount of views.
However, as H3H3 pointed out, there are YouTube channels that are benefiting from this. And those are the channels that are putting money directly into YouTube’s pocket. These videos are showing up in the trending tag despite not even hitting 50,000 views, because they’re ‘Trending.’ What’s really going on is just they’re stuffing money into YouTube’s pockets, and YouTube’s current response when asked about this is literally
‘lol idk fam ;)’
So YouTube is shafting YouTubers and don’t have any answers for it, meanwhile channels that are run by big time corporations or big recording studios/teams are able to literally buy their way to the front page of YouTube and gain a lot of hits. It’s back to the early 00s again, with click-bait taking over YouTube instead of original content. So original content creators are getting the shit end of the stick shoved directly up their asshole.
What the fuck
That’s such shit. It’s the content creators that made the site pop in the first place. Smh
One thing I have to give to JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: it’s basically the first franchise since Star Trek where the “is this a fanfic synopsis or a description of an actual, published episode?” game is legitimately challenging to play.
I hate that some people are so dense that they need disclaimers for every single thing, like when women say “men are…” you know good and goddamn well they aren’t referring to every single man. It’s billions of us, how the fuck would they know all of us?
Whenever I hear these statements, I interpret it as “Not all men, but enough men to make this a prominent issue amongst men”
Same shit with “white people are…” Get the fuck out your feelings and actually listen so you can address the concerns of these people instead of defending people that ain’t shit.
cut off funding for MGSV before development was finished, resulting in an incomplete game
cancelled Silent Hills, a highly-anticipated reboot of a franchise that had lost its way long ago and was a personal labor of love for many of the people involved (Kojima, Norman Reedus, Guillermo del Toro, Junji Ito)
removed the extremely well-received Silent Hills demo from the playstation store, had sony forcibly delete it from the PS4s of people who had downloaded it, and refused to acknowledge that this had happened or that it ever existed
kept konami employees in borderline abusive conditions for the last year or so of MGSV’s development, maintaining constant surveillance, forcing them to use randomized company email accounts that changed every two weeks, firing or demoting employees for communicating or otherwise expressing concern with the state of affairs within the company
when MGSV won awards internationally, konami forbade kojima from leaving japan to receive the awards (hence the jokes about them locking him in a basement)
scrubbed kojima’s name from all packaging and promotional materials for MGSV months before release and assumed nobody would notice
even after kojima productions was reformed as an independent studio and most of the talent had left konami for the new studio, konami retained ownership of the metal gear franchise, which they promptly proceeded to shit all over with pachinko machines and zombie spinoffs
but yeah, 2015-2016 konami has been a nonstop chain of disasters to the point where people have seriously considered the theory that they’re intentionally trying to scupper the company (possibly due to organized crime involvement)
Also, if rumors are to be believed, Kojima and his team were working on MGSV as a next-gen only game, but partially through development Konami demanded PS3/360 versions, which fucked up development massively.
It was confirmed they forced Hideo to work in his office isolated from the rest of his the team, so they might as well have locked him up.
A lot of people understandably said they would buy MGSV to see the series through to the end, but not a single Konami game after that.
