    That's a pretty interesting idea. Unfortunately it depends on being somewhere where copyrights ever actually end.

    That's another debate, but if a company ever closed and no one claimed the IP, it could be released early.

      I came to PS through YouTube shorts and his streams were cut to ribbons and repatched into something resembling a zeitgeist-appealing view.

      Then I watched a couple of his long form videos and was like ... eh. If anything it taught me more about the danger of using shorts as an onboard to any big vtuber. Much like movie trailers and their movies, they tend to overpromise and underdeliver.

      This became undeniably apparent when YouTube started shoving Jordan Petersen into my feed. Much like the thousand monkeys at their typewriters, you can take the words of anyone who talks at length almost daily on a subject and edit them into something that sounds reasonable and appealing.

      I already knew that JP was a right wing rhetoric Markov chain posing as an expert/pundit before YT started promoting him, but it really did cement the point.

      Even Hitler out of context sounds good. Context is paramount. Never trust a good speaker with the extra time to edit himself in post with out the context of the original or their history.

        At best we get fresh new EULA's to click through on our way to play our game.

        I've signed a lot of petitions over the years, and I'd sign this one too, but it's pretty naive to think this will actually do anything useful.

        you can’t sign away consumer rights in a EULA… they might try and out them in there, but if it were law then they wouldn’t be able to enforce it

          He has literally said that the MS Paint doodles aren’t meant to be super descriptive or helpful. He started doing it in his meetings at Blizzard, because he found that any visual aid was good at keeping executives’ attention. Whenever he had to do a presentation, he’d use MS Paint every few minutes to keep them focused.

          And now he does the same with his viewers. He busts out MS Paint every few minutes, just to refocus the viewers and keep them engaged. It’s not to help with whatever he’s describing; it’s just to keep the viewers engaged, so he keeps making money off of them.

          To his credit, at least he admits this. It’s not like he’s hiding his strategy. He just does whatever will push him to the top of the algorithms and keep viewers engaged.

          Iv always been confused over why he was ever in a meeting with executives when his official job position was QA tester. Not lead, not supervisor. He was a grunt worker.

              Any male dominated channel that ever "gives advice" gets shunted into that pipeline by algo pretty consistently.

              I like stand up comedy and it's a full time job keeping Rogan out of my suggestions.

              Yeah, for real. YouTube is essentially placing infinite bets that it can drive you into the rabbit hole. Watched a short of Dillahunty give Peterson a verbal wedgy? You must like big words, so here's more Peterson! Watched a short of Joey Swoll telling people to be polite, because it rolled on automatically? Here's an Andrew Tate wannabe with shrivelled nuts to subtly criticise you about your dad bod.

              Obsession and radicalisation are one and the same to the algorithm, and both turn a targeted individual into a money printer. And fuck the consequences right? Because Google got theirs.

                It's often not the speaker doing the editing, there are thousands of channels built around creating and releasing these cast-a-wide-net shorts to subtly drive you towards their goal of obsessively watching right wing vtubers saying things that compel you to be a selfish narcissist.

                  To be fair, I do this at work and while I get funny looks I do get complicated ideas across better when I can provide visual aid.

                  Frankly I need to improve my MS Paint skills. I need to get my mouse handwriting up to at least 70% of the Khan Academy guy’s level.

                      I've never liked the guy, he's always seemed so full of himself like he thinks he's smarter than everyone and can never be wrong.

                        How about let's all not talk or make angry memes about the guy. Ross requested that he not be harassed. Something about not wanting negative energy.

                            I watch this dude sometimes, he says he's a fulltime game dev but all I see him do is play other games. The game he works on has seen very little progress.

                            Would be nice if he at least admits he's a streamer and not a game dev.

                              His obnoxious voice is fake, just as him. There are videos of him outside the streaming. His voice is artificially lowered for streams and videos. He's all fake.

                                      Nowadays its also quite common to design speeches around short form videos, so that you can then edit as much as possible into short little segments that are optimised for short form content. The right wingers do it a lot and, at least in Germany, our leftist party realised that this is a strategy to not miss out on.
