Not surprised you don’t appreciate me bringing this to your attention
I think the format of YouTube encourages creators to eventually focus on their own personal brand and presentation instead of presenting a topic. Every single leftist adjacent YouTuber and streamer goes down that hole eventually if they make a career out of it.
It's because no matter what the subject is, they eventually run out of content. One of my favorite channels for a while was "After Prison Show". It's this man who got released and then told entertaining stories about his time in prison. But after a few years, he had pretty much told all his stories. But he's got almost a million subscribers. What to do?
When I quit watching his channel, he was posting videos of him and his other released prison buddies renovating houses to flip. "Today, the plumbing" and then he finds out the guy he hired last week ran off with all his tools, sold them, and is somewhere getting high. Wow, compelling content.
I mean, her visuals are fantastic. One of the nicer things about Left-YouTube is the time and energy they put into their craft. Half the fun of Contrapoints is the aesthetic. She's not just crying into a camera under a bed sheet.
But there's definitely a feedback loop, wherein a YouTube personality stops being a witness to the world around them and starts becoming the story of themselves. Too much time engaging with people online who are either slavishly loyal to you or perpetually aggrieved at your existence or simply fishing for an interaction that can be leveraged into growing their own fledgling brand. It just overwhelms your feed.
The sanest thing you can do is log off entirely. But the second sanest thing is to at least spin up another anonymous account and never ever ever read the DMs sent to your original.
It would be cooler if she combined some of this and did a video on WASBAPPIN
Lol she doesn’t do topics like this anymore.
She hasn't released content in 3 months.
Her most recent hot take is not expressing an opinion about pride flags
Natalie went from "Oh shit, look at how terminally online these people are. I should make a podcast about it" to simply being terminally online.
ofc it's fake, all contrapoints ever does nowadays is eat xanax and livestream herself awkwardly playing resident evil
Ah yes Contra-"If transwomen don't try hard to pass they deserve to be bullied by transphobes"-points
There's enough about contrapoints to criticize without just making shit up. come on
Seriously? Am I thinking of someone else or did I just imagine it? Maybe I'm losing my mind but I could have sworn I saw a video from her like that a long time ago
There was a video like that, then there was character development. I'll find the videos one sec
Basically she realized how important non-binary people are to the community and that we're stronger together and that people are what they say they are. Even if that doesn't convince everyone. All the "passing is morally good/important" people are basically saying that this is the only way that the transphobes will ever respect us. She realized how dumb that is and that we need to assert ourselves and prioritize our identities over the comfort of bigots.
:cat-trans: :owl-wink:
She made like a whole video about why it's important to pass and basically implied that
Yeah. Baltimore Maryland stands in direct contradiction to this allegation.
Lol there is fucking no way I will watch this. I laughed though so you got that much out of me
Fucking hell. PhilosophyTube's video on antisemitism and retraction of saying Israel did literally what Israel did instead of "the IDF magically with no connection to Israel, its government, or people" was enough to make me say fuck it to her content.
Imperialism will always be breadtube's favorite fucking thing
retraction of saying Israel did literally what Israel did
Wait, what? Did Abbie retract part of the antisemitism video, or did Natalie disavow it? I must have missed this since I don't follow twitter stuff.
No Abbie retracted part of the 9/11 security vid. She profusely apologized for being antisemitic for saying that american security training is given "by israel" which is totally bigoted to say and harmful....oh Israel did it, but heaven forbid we associate Israel with israels actions
This is what happens when a motherfucker gets a real job. You can't trust podcasters who go mainstream.
