That thumbnail is really not helping the movement. Really hope this goes through though.
-
It’s Ross. This is what he does. The movement has persisted regardless. Bless him.
-
Oh haha sure sure. Seriously, good on him.

My dude looks like Dr. Neo Cortex or a Civil War General

Put him in a ponytail, bulk him up a bit, de-age him a decade, and you've got a theoretical physicist with an penchant for crowbar related mayhem.

People are clicking, tho
-
I think it's a running bit at this point, but it is one that will haunt my nightmares.
-
Every single video has his face doing something insane looking.

I was looking forward to some conversation regarding this subject in the comments, instead all we've got is people talking about text vs video, and drawing any attention away from actually discussing the video.
Great.
-
Was there anything in particular you wanted to discuss?

I think it's interesting that people have to attach their names and prove they're real to sign this, but serious complaints can be filed anonymously. I'm not European, so does this mean anyone random can file complaints? Or it's done somehow officially, just shows up anonymously?
I'm asking to understand how this works because this could not be the industry entirely.

Ross Scott is an absolute treasure, and I'm kinda sad that he has never made more than €63k euros in a given year. He deserves more for all the work he has put in.
I'm not European, so if you are, please do what you can to encourage your reps to support this.

FNAF-like image

"If everything Terry Davis believed was actually correct" looking thumbnail lol

Why does he feel that it's necessary to present the information by talking into a webcam? What's wrong with publishing text?
-
Imagine the audacity of a video creator to publish a video on a video platform, what has society come to smh
-
So there's some magical limitation which only lets him make videos? He's doomed to solely create videos and if he as much as thinks about writing a blog post, he gets struck by lightning or something? What an interesting phenomenon.

If you want to yap about something long, you will have much more success getting people to click on a Youtube video than text content published elsewhere. Especially if you already have a large subscriber base in the first place, Youtube is where his audience is, and once his audience clicks it the algorithm will keep spreading it even further.
A couple years ago I wrote a very long text essay about some controversy surrounding a niche game I play. It got a small handful of clicks within the community for that game, but that was it. A few years later, some more news developed, and I decided to do a half-remake half-followup in video format. It was very minimally edited because I don't actually know shit about video editing, in fact I literally did most of it in Google Slides. But I knew that putting it on Youtube would result in significantly more exposure no matter how amateurish it was. Ended up taking off really well, 29k views, which is about 27k more than the text version got.
And I was a nobody publishing my first video. Ross has 413k Youtube subscribers, and in the 9 hours since this video went up, it's at 337k views. Seems like this Youtube thing is working out well for him.
-
because it's a split from his normal monthly update video where he is supposed to be interacting with his channel members.
He's already fighting the fight, no reason to give him more work. :P
-
Who‘s gonna actually read it tho? Like 90% of the people who watched that video would never have read a whole text. Not to speak of the issue of getting the text out to people.
-
Watching/listening to a recording is faster than reading something. I can multitask while listening to it, for instance.
-
It's getting him views.
Also, I would not have read his text. The slightly strung out look is working, it got you to comment :)
-
fast forwarding is your friend
-
There are many differences, some advantages and some disavantages. If you want to read, you can read the transcript that YT generates or you can probably find the text posted in some of his blogs, I bet.
-
For anyone else that might waste some amount of their lives reading this: Gish Gallop
-
probably faster to create and gets more views

The good news is that they are scared. First, they ignored it. Next they tried to debate, well lie, their way out of it.
No one is buying their story or is feeling sorry for those greedy bastards. So they take the other route, attack the opponent and question their intentions/ credibility.
Dear God, predictable and sad.
