This is me when my roommate talks about random politics youtube drama. It takes forever to explain that to me and then in the end its about some irrelevant person being an asshole. There is no value in knowing about this.
What is your opinion on right-wing streamers like Tim Pool accepting millions from Russia to push Russian propaganda? I think drama like that is good to know about because it highlights the fact that the Maga movement is largely a Russian psy-op.
That’s not really “YouTube drama” though. That’s international news regarding Russian disinformation campaigns.
Slightly different subject than “Ticklepig beef with Bone Destroyer” or whatever.
Is the tickle pig beef with bone destroyer thing something that your roommate actually told you about, or are you just making up a hypothetical example? I don’t know if I love or hate the fact that I can’t tell.
Unless the YouTuber is famous or infamous enough to end up on the national news then I don’t see the point of following the fueds and drama…
I mean, most people just suck ass at realizing what part of a story could possibly be interesting to outside parties.
“A mukbang YouTuber (That’s someone who inhales disturbing volumes of food as entertainment) weighed over 350 pounds and just revealed that more than a year of their videos were pre-recorded as they lost 250 pounds!”
There. Simple. Easily worthy of a ”That’s wild!"
Additionally you could add that he convinced people that he was addicted to food and was borderline delusional
idk, it all kind of instantly made him like… more transparent?
i used to think he had a problem and people on the Internet were going to kill him. i now realize i was falling for his character and it’s all been part of the show. i work in tv, i should know better…
As a dad I care about the subjects my kids care about, so I’m able to take a genuine part in their (almost completely online) lives.
Right. Sometimes you just have to develop an interest into things you normally don’t care about to have something in common with the people you love.
And sometimes you just should care that your easily influenced teenaged kids are totally invested into content that glorifies and populises severe eating disorders.
Even if you don’t give a fuck about some avocado guy, these are the topics you should listen and talk about with your kids, to help them develop a healthy opinion and viewpoint of things like that. That’s actually a parents job.
This is why I have a favorite team in League of Legends, a game I have never played.
New viewers, new cycles of endless, pointless, drama. Soap operas, YouTube dramas… football, soccer (real football), most American sports., video games, doomscrolling your favorite meta site.
Seriously, we all have our vices. The message here is that your kid wants to TALK to you. Connect with them. This drama is less important to them, just learn the player’s names.
