  • Can’t think of anyone i dropped for a specific reason since Roosterteeth/Ryan Heywood.

    Honestly Roosterteeth was vile long before the Ryan incident. They had a serious, vile problem with racism behind the scenes (and if you listen to earlier content and hear about how they talk about gavin and how hes a different person on camera and how he was a piece of shit, and if he was like he was off camera they’d have to censor everything makes me seriously believe he was a big part of the racism), and I wager the racism problem never went away… there was just effort put in to hiding it and not rubbing the black members faces in it, like they did with Mica and her just walking into the office one day to find the N word sprawled in massive letters across a whiteboard.

    Roosterteeth in general also had a major problem with exploiting fans for free labor. Which got even worse during their attempt to be an animation studio and basically expecting low/unpaid fans to sleep under their desks and work 18 hours a day in perpetual never ending crunch.

    Honestly I think they were all pieces of shit, some worse, some less, but all pieces of shit… Except Ray. Ray seemed like the only actually decent person there… Which is probably why he was the first one to GTFO

    and I believe, to this day, that all the Achievement Hunter crew knew what Ryan was doing, because they loooooved to make comments and jokes about what Ryan was doing staying behind a day or two after everyone headed home from a location shoot. . . jokes and comments that disappeared from videos suspiciously quickly when the shit with ryan came out… as if they had time stamps for them and could quickly cut them when the time came.








  • Self-Sufficient Me fell into this category for me. Tons of very relaxing videos about growing fruit and vegetables at home… Then COVID hit and he started talking about “prepping” and “Doomsday” in every video. Didn’t work for me anymore after that.

    I must have moved on before the prepping and doomsday stuff, because I totally watched him to, for a long time. I checked out and moved on cause, I dont know, he started feeling preachy and sanctimonious? like, I cant put my finger on a specific example as to where, how or why, so it could have very well just been in my head, but it kinda pushed me away from watching his content after that.



  • Should try out InRangeTV.

    As for why? Let me post the first thing you see on their website.

    "InRange is a media and community building project that is actively anti-racist, pro human liberation and LGBTQ+ rights. We cover firearms, history, and the sociological impact of these topics with a focus on empathy and humanity. We produce content on modern firearms, historical firearms, competition, training, education, and the social impacts of firearms, the good and the bad. "

    He has never fought to preserve a bridge with bigoted, hate spreading assholes. In fact, he burns them like Sherman, and makes sure the public sees it in all its ugliness and glory.





  • its nvidia and AI creating a bubble on the belief they’ll be able to get profit and get out before it pops.

    But all it is… is imaginary money going around in circles. nvidia invests a trillion in AI, AI buys a trillion dollars of nvidia videocards from some nebulous point in the future where they arent made yet, nvidia invests that trillion back into AI, AI uses it to buy ridiculous amounts of ram that wont be made for years, RAM invests it back into AI, and on and on they go, generating imaginary money and value, by buying imaginary things.

    under a sane government this would be investigated as raw stock manipulation and fraud

    I really hope when this bubble pops nvidia is destroyed in the process along with the AI companies.
