Humans are not inherently evil or corrupt by nature, but even if they were, capitalism is the worst system possible as it enables and promotes these aspects.

How much are those BS streaming TV and Movie shits nowadays?

More than enough to monthly help people in need instead and watch something for free that would support a small creator - wait they'd also rather pay and watch some asshole like instead of an actual small creator

They'd all rather some machine tell them what to feed their minds

“MrBeast is spending between $3-$5 million per video right now, up from ~$200,000 a video just a few years ago. … A MrBeast video is roughly the same cost per video as any episode from the first 5 seasons of Game Of Thrones.” — @ryanbroderick

When does this bubble burst?

first and only time i agree with jimmy donaldson. the promise of the creator economy is a myth whose propagation helps the platforms and plenty of other parasitic industries built up around them.

Did MrBeast just low key burn Elon and X? If you reverse what he just said about making $263K from a video on X it is clear that he said most accounts which are left on X have very little value to advertisers. Many likely see the platform as radioactive at this point.

When agreed with a fan asking to post videos on X/Twitter, MrBeast slammed the idea, saying the platform couldn't monetize a fraction of his production expenses.

Stumbled on a cool new tool for Channel Statistics I found interesting:
https://www.viewstats.com/.

It’s a public tool, and if accurate some interesting numbers. Apparently released (for free?) by the folks behind videos (not seen much of their videos, but they clearly know how to use and analyze YouTube).

The spread of AI deepfakes using celebrities' likenesses to promote various products and scams is raising concerns about the ethical and legal implications of AI in the media and entertainment industry. Celebrities like Tom Hanks, Gayle King, and MrBeast have recently warned their followers about unauthorized AI-generated videos featuring their likenesses. These deepfakes often manipulate existing footage to match AI-generated voice clones. The rise of convincing deepfakes could undermine trust and the reliability of communication technologies, making it essential for companies, regulators, and social media platforms to address this issue. Approaches such as watermarking and increased moderation efforts are being considered. However, the effectiveness of these measures remains uncertain.

⚠️🇬🇪The top blogger in the world also made (what Im sure he considers) a ‘simple mistake’ on his platform surrounding the country of Georgia. Unfortunately simple minds with large megaphones also elect criminal ex-presidents. Be they Russian, American, or otherwise (PHOTO)

“Stunt philanthropy” – things like the viral ALS challenge that you may remember – has more recently been associated with a single influencer: Jimmy Donaldson, a YouTuber called “” who often creates viral videos that raise awareness and money for people in need.

It’s hard to predict what the future holds for stunt , but it seems that it’s probably here to stay.

As usual, this week’s Hard Fork is a killer listen. What’s the latest on the debacle? Who is and why is he seemingly everywhere now? And wtf is going on with Trust and Safety at all of the big tech companies? @caseynewton https://pca.st/episode/c2b43559-eae5-4bdf-b369-242132f36f89
