a preview from an upcoming episode of cloudward ho

Okay so bad news for everyone on YouTube right now

Starting the 13th, we will have an AI determine if we are children or not and if you are a child, than you are forced to send your ID, send a selfie or a credit card

This has the obvious cons of having your privacy being revoked from you and and in case there is a security breach, major identity thefts.

So what do we do in this scenario?

Well right now I have real idea as this is relativity new to me, but I do have two plans

Plan 1. Bug the shit out of them, send letters and send emails about how much of bad idea this is.

Include why the AI will mess up and target adults who watch cartoons, include privacy issues, censorship issues, anything you can think of that relates to this. I want you guys to bug the hell out of YouTube until they reverse this idea

Plan 2. Blackout.

Since the thing is coming out on the 13th.

The plan will be to completely avoid YouTube at all cost for that day, no watching, no sharing, no uploading, no nothing.

Download videos before things go down, watch Netflix. Whatever you do, don’t touch YouTube.

That’s all I can say right now, I also want you guys to let YouTubers know of this situation cause if it’s important for everyone on the website to talk about this immediately

Spread this stuff around, let people know of YouTube’s upcoming policy and how it’ll hurt everyone

The discourse around Who Wants to Be...? is both really fucking dumb and also kinda interesting.

Because a lot of people are going "Why did Jacob get all the money?" And there's a valid reason and that's is he lost his mom and a friend/member of his comedy group in the same year, and was having money problems, and part of those problems are because he's such a generous man. (Like in the premiere of this season he gave almost $3k to charity! He could have just kept that, and instead he inspired almost $10k more donations to that charity.)

But people aren't really asking that question, because the answer is out there and not that hard to find (and will probably be explored a bit more in the BTS next week). They're expressing annoyance that there's an episode devoted to giving one specific, pre-determined person an enormous amount of money. And that there was no potential for failure--while some of the questions were really hard, he had help and he had an apparently endless amount of hints. The episode would always end with Jacob getting $100,000 (pre-tax). So it's not like other game shows with huge prizes, and I guess they see answering some trivia questions as worthy of the money?

I think a lot of people are also really bitter that it's not them, but they can't say that, so they ask why it's not some other cast member. They're putting themselves in the shoes of everyone else on set--both the cast and the crew--and imagining themselves feeling secretly bitter about it. And I can't really blame that, because I also wonder if anyone had a little bit of jealousy that they had to keep pushing down. And you can say that the cast are all friends of Jacob who have watched him struggle with grief and having to make a living being funny while mourning multiple deaths, but what about the crew?

Except that if you're working in the entertainment industry, you have to get used to working with people who have way more money than you do, some of whom don't work as hard or aren't as talented as you! Sometimes, trying to be empathetic winds up just being kinda selfish in a way. Like I can't actually imagine what it's like to be the camera guy watching someone get $100,000, because if I was I'd probably also been in rooms with celebrities who get paid millions and get showered with expensive gifts they don't need, and having to be used to that to keep doing my job, and I just can't imagine that?

It's just so disappointing to see people take their knee jerk negative reaction, their automatic jealousy, and not try to imagine why people might not feel that way.

Also you just know Jacob is gonna use that money to fund projects with his friends, that he will then pay them for. And he will need camera and audio people for that. The money goes around.

The cast sounds so dead saying the prompts and I love it

LinkedIn being the company that took Sam up on that Game Changer sponsership is actully perfect. I thought it was gonna be one of those brands that tries to be cool or have a personality, but LinkedIn is just boring enough to make it hilarious.

[harleyandstuff]

I think the most shocking thing about that episode is that there in fact is not a buzzer sound supercut video of Jacob

[harleyandstuff]

Ash and Nico wearing the entire LinkedIn outfits is HILARIOUS

I love saying

“I’m going to be a few minutes late”

Then showing up early.

I have a cousin named Brian who moved to Australia. But apparently my family has beef with all of Australia bc they all allegedly have man-buns. They don’t hate them because of their long hair, just because they put it in a bun.

daily reminder to drink some wa-

hold on.

Post canceled.

is it anyone on tumblr named Brian?

is there anyone logged in right now who has the name Brian

[harleyandstuff]

That’s it. I’m getting a office job to recreate Fatal Decision

I mean, what else is there to say? Dimension 20 - On A Bus was one of the greatest first episodes of D20 to date. Incredible players, stellar setting, and AMAZING DM-ing by Katie! For a first time running a game, she absolutely NAILED it. I had my doubts, but if there's anyone who can fill Brennan's American Girl Shoes, it's her. @dropoutdottv @dimension20official @gamechangershow, if you need someone to do character art for the new season, I'm your man!

(And to everyone else, I do actual D&D commissions if you're interested)

[harleyandstuff]

I am crazy and people just don’t like that

I love getting into online discourse 😝😈
