"Content Creation" In The New Twenties
Cutting 100 things with a pizza cutter, or: Boring Insanity
This gets increasingly Brian Butterfield-esque as it goes on. It reaches a peak with the inexplicable name he gives a bar of Aero. There is also a moment of censorship involving a fish that probably had to happen due to Youtube's weird rules. I'm both laughing and feeling absolute despair at the crapness of it all.
I do feel bad for having a go at this person, and I don't mean it on a personal level... but it says something about culture in 2021 when things as surreally basic as this can be popular. Here is a comment from under the video:

Re: "Content Creation" In The New Twenties
Sometimes some people who do these weird ephemeral videos narrate them themselves, but they adopt all these bizarre vocal cadences and android-like tics deliberately for... reasons? There's another infamous bloke online called Chills who sounds all robot like as well, but is apparently an actual human being. He's been endlessly parodied for it, and for his exasperating "spooky thing happened" and "horrible thing happened" videos.
A typical example

Re: "Content Creation" In The New Twenties
With those kind of viewing numbers, I'm sure they can take the heat - I know I'd be able to!
Re: "Content Creation" In The New Twenties
Maybe I should do a violent penguin pizza cutter special

Hey, yeah! And you could use NoteVibes for the robohuman voiceover!

Re: "Content Creation" In The New Twenties
I thought I remembered an article discussing how automated content creation (generation?) had become to the point that there didn't have to be any human creativity or.involvement whatsoever, just pick a couple assets and the videos would make and propagate themselves, automatically creating accounts and uploading content across them all and just somehow making money by having an infinite amount of digital monkeys banging away at an infinite amount of digital typewriters and flooding publishing platforms with sheer volume to scrape up whatever ad revenue it could get.

Which is rather hamstrung by the now unavailable/deleted YouTube clips used as examples.

Probably! I remember reading the linked Medium article, and I did used to be an avid AV Club reader.

Re: "Content Creation" In The New Twenties
I'd like to see Violent Penguin written by a bot, and accruing millions of views. I bet dngs beard would float away in amazement.
Re: "Content Creation" In The New Twenties
There is that genre of things where something clearly not actually written by a bot is presented as if written by a bot and everyone loves it for some reason

Re: "Content Creation" In The New Twenties
Youtube just put a self-advertisement on my account's version of the main page, which was about a new and exciting playlist (yes) featuring NEW CONTENT CREATORS. The playlist is called "Creators On The Rise", except the bottom half of the ad was cut off by my browser window and I genuinely thought for a bit that it said "Creators On The Piss".
Re: "Content Creation" In The New Twenties
"Creators On The Piss"?!?
Guilty as charged.
