It’s a big fucking deal. Chinese people can be insulted over non-verbal conduct such as how you sit and how you pay attention. This is totally next level shit.

I would not underestimate China like that. Also, this type of behavior is especially egregious in many Asian cultures. While we Americans might shrug it off, its a big fucking deal

This is a prime example of how his business interests are a threat to national security and international relations.

Make no mistake, we’re entirely fucked. I know myself, and I know I don’t have the fortitude to survive nuclear winter. My one consolation is that I live in a city that is probably on some country’s first strike list so at least the end will be quick for me.

Same here. I haven’t been clicking anything. Then I saw the first story on this and went ballistic. No pun intended. *sob*

I don’t know this thing is so incredibly boneheaded and stupid I can’t not laugh at it.

A few years ago, maybe 2013 or 14, Secretary Hillary Clinton came to my work (not Wall Street, tech company) for a fireside chat and to promote her book. She talked at length about her experience as SOS, and one thing she discussed was how much “small offenses” matter to so many leaders and countries around the world,…

Ive been trying to avoid coverage about Trump but this absolutely has me reeling and seething with rage that I had to comment. Not only are we fucked but this is going to deteriorate our relationship with China. God fucking damnit. This is fucking stupid. This time next year we will be in another war.

He’s totally going to visit North Korea. It’s happening because why wouldn’t it?

He doesn’t even bother to attend his intelligence briefings, so there’s no way for anyone to tell him how much of an idiot he’s being. His whole administration will be governed by the seat of his pants.

Can we just preemptively add JK to the end of all official communications coming out of the Trump White House?

He has no fucking clue what politics and diplomatic protocols are. Whats next he will visit North Korea ???

Which sounds purpose written for a tool of mass manipulation.

What do the bot-makers get out of it financially?

In this metaphor, a camera and a greenscreen would be analogous to power tools. YouTube is more like a giant billboard operator that, for reasons of its own, has decided to give the architect free rent on dozens of its signs. The architect really shouldn’t freak out if one of the lightbulbs goes unchanged for a while.

Good take. Thanks for reading!

Ah, well, simple solution to their problem....stop posting videos to YouTube. For those that seem to think they have such a huge fanbase and tons of people clamoring for their videos, shoot I dont know, go make a deal with Netflix. Go make a deal with Vimeo, or any other service.

“This is people’s careers,” JackSepticEye explained. “To completely switch how you do things and not tell anybody is a shitty thing to do.”

The conspiracy theory is that YouTube promotes sponsored videos or bullshit giveaway videos instead of videos with merit. When asked directly by H3h3 productions, he said, YouTube explained that they were promoting videos with more “activity.”
