Are you a time traveller from 2012? Just because anyone can make a YouTube channel doesn’t mean that every single one is on the level of your child’s dolly fights.

Holy shit, I had to read that twice before it clicked that a freaking Suburban was almost 100k. Wow.

Cute. But no, it’s the people who immediately talk shit to the person who wrote the article regardless of the content.

I truly don’t understand why people who feel this way continue to visit this site. Literally every single story, no matter the content, context, or author is littered with comments that all feature some variation of:

“lol, imagine calling yourself a (journalist|author|blogger) because you write for…

Well fucking said.

Before the waves of apparently-inevitable shit talking* begin breaking against this article, I just wanted to say thanks for introducing me to my next book with such an interesting interview.

*the post-Herb reality of these sites is that apparently they exist to provide a target for condescension from a legion of…

Unadorned, unapologetic joy and passion are infectious. He’s a treasure

The number of people who apparently visit this site just to hate-read or because it gives them a target for condescension is kinda mind-boggling.

I mean, fuck the Herbs, but come on. 

They may be a data company, but they also use these metrics as targets / goals for the quarter or year. Fudging things this way with some kind of barely facile logic (ie: according to statistics, 61% of viewers watch together) makes it easier to hit those targets.

Youtube does it on TVs and phones as well. Then those videos get into your history and by god it’s annoying.

I like you.

Um, he said that Final Fantasy has been one of the Playstation’s pillars since the beginning. Of the Playstation. That’s... true.

I had completely forgotten about that issue in my ‘89, but yeah... same here.

Literally every other story on the front page of Jalopnik is about cars. What the fuck are you actually on about?

Are you kidding me? What you mean to say is that popular media no longer contains politics that you like.

All media is political, it’s ridiculous to act otherwise.

I’m sorry... is the spoiler that there’s action? The name of the episode?

I’m non-binary and just use “any/all.” It’s the same thing, but like ... simpler?

What the hell is with this commentariat? Does the title of the article say “I picked the best FF to start with?” No, it says the readers did.

Are you a child? As someone who spends all their time creating shit (as well as critiquing the creative works of others), the idea that someone who has never and will never create anything that gets put out in front of people to be judged feels entitled to talk shit to people who do is ridiculous.

You say ‘nowadays’, but I was taught in high school a couple of decades ago about planned obsolescence. This isn’t a new problem.
