But why? Because they do it for the views / money? How is that any different from movies or television? Are you honestly telling me pic related has less artistic and ethical credibility than fucking Stephen "Drumph" Colbert?
All I see is an earnest, hardworking man dedicated to using a platform to entertain while informing viewers about various restaurant products. I 100% believe he is more artistically valid and less scummy than anyone on basic cable.
Please fuck off you degenerate underage faggot. Noone cares about your friend simulators that literal children enjoy because they are so lonely that the only interaction they can actually find is in a 10 minute youtube video. Here you can pretend they give a fuck about you, but they don't, you just give them money.

This isn't Sup Forums - Television & Film Go back to Sup Forums
Isaiah Barnes
What the fuck are you talking about? Steven Colbert isn't art either you fucking moron
Jackson Wright
i would say he has more. he is 10x more genuine than that beady eyed jew, the money is just a plus for him. he would do this with or without it, which makes his eloquent reviews of sloppy fast food items more of a piece of art than colbert and his team of writers could ever create.
Zachary Gutierrez
youtube is at least as good as TV these days
but the legacy media shills on the internet to make people think TV is still above alternative media
Nathan Evans
lol and one of the biggest TV hits is literally called FRIENDS
Except talk shows in essence have always been something to watch, they are entertainers. It has a script, and an audience. Let's plays are not the same thing, it's just you watching someone talk for 30 minutes while you self insert into what they are doing so you won't feel lonely. The dissociation doesn't happen in talk shows. Fuck off loser.
Sitcoms, films and tv shows are better than youtube shlock because they are written by people.
Owen Jenkins
>hehe I'll say schlock again like RLM I'll totally look like an expert
Jordan Ramirez
>hehe I won't actually respond to his argument just resort to ad hominem, hopefully I can change the subject so I don't appear to be functionally brain dead from watching youtube 24/7.
Landon Hughes
It's still in it's early days so people won't recognise its legitimacy yet
Just as they didn't with film claiming only stage was real art
Youtubes rise is inevitable
Austin Jenkins
>ad hominem
hahahahahaha can you BE more r*ddit right now
Brayden Kelly
reviewbrah, pls, your videos are shit.
Leo Bailey
>haha I'll just keep changing the subject so I never have to face the terrible truth that the only reason I watch youtube is to literally self insert and not feeling crushing loneliness.
Fucking loser kek.
Camden Diaz
there's all kinds of content on youtube
just the trending videos are usually more entertaining than what's on TV these days
Blake Perez
>implying youtube as a whole is any different from any other form of moving picture media
why is this even an argument
Jose Gomez
Awesome, I'm not degrading all youtube, just the majority of it that is popular. Stuff like let's plays, unboxing, talk about x for 10 minutes, and other garbage. It's literally white noise.
Anthony Lee
Literally no one, and I mean NO ONE, is talking about Let's Plays.
Alexander Sullivan
same as most TV
talk shows, late night shows, news shows, pawn shows, trucker shows, hunting shows, reality shows
Kayden Lopez
Once again Sup Forums tourist are allowed to shit up Sup Forums
Carter King
Reviews fall into the same category goy.
Those are trash as well, when the best comparison to save face for youtube you can come up with is literally trash that idiots watch on the daily basis you fucked your own argument up.
Yes youtube is as bad as reality shows. Worse actually.
Eli Gonzalez
well your whole argument is "bad x is bad"
Camden Cox
Not really, considering I already outlined the core of youtube and what is actually popular as being a friend simulator for lonely children and adults who refuse to grow up. And you still haven't responded to it.
Luis Rogers
>Reviews fall into the same category goy. How is a review of food items from restaurants the same as a Let's Play lol? Does that mean half of the Food Network is a Let's Play?
Asher Torres
no you just ignore all the content on youtube including interesting and educating things
not my job to educate you sweetie
Benjamin Evans
>youtube isn't art It really is art. Pure unscripted kino like The Delray Misfits couldn't exist any other way.
Liam Green
i genuinely think this is reviewbrah posting seems like the same sentence structure he would use honestly
Christopher Kelly
Except I already addressed this, I'm talking about what you called the reality show side of youtube. Which you even made the comparison for.
You're stupid as shit aren't you kek?
They are the same thing, 2 friends review something and talk to the camera for 10 minutes, these are also friend simulators.
Nicholas Sanchez
god you're so dumb just dear god... reviewing a product and giving your opinion is NOT the same as playing a video game and making jokes. im guessing ign is just another "friend simulator" since they sometimes have multiple person reviews huh? You lonely fuck
Owen Jenkins
Things like red letter media, and the channel where they try 2 of the same items and one is expensive are friend simulators. Channels where they "review" a product and try it out are friend simulators. The dissociation still happens here, they are essentially the same thing, and again you are retarded.
Alexander Brooks
Pretty much this. If you're over the age of 13 and watching some grown ass men with a YouTube """""""""""""""""""job""""""""""""""""""" then you should seriously fucking consider ending your life.
Nolan Turner
We really need a /youtube/ board, bros.
Carter Cooper
>implying television has any programming even close to as comfy as dead shopping malls
Go to reddit, that may be your speed. Stupid faggot.
Josiah Carter
I prefer to call it internet television
Liam Green
Why do you hate youtube so much? Did an e-celeb kill your dog?
Justin Cooper
You have Sup Forums, /r9k/, [s4s] and /bant/ These are boards for topics that don't have boards. This is something you should know unless you're admitting that you're actually new and then we have an even bigger problem
Jack Perry
Because you and your jontron faggot kind are cancer and are dumbing down this site's discussion. Go fuck off and shill some filthy frank or something loser.
Ethan Howard
>red letter media is a friend simulator so im right you're an idiot, yes red letter media A COMEDY channel, is not the same as a serious review channel and if you want to call it a "friend simulator" go ahead and be autistic look at my past example, how in the fuck is IGN the most bare bones, bought out, straight forward review channel a friend simulator
Jack Wright
internet television is still television so I think Sup Forums fits desu
Noah Hernandez
>Youtube videos aren't "art" Jewtube's monetization platform is set up to reward quantity over quality. Animators and the like get a small fraction of what gaming channels make, a laughably miniscule reward for the effort. If YT gave a shit, there'd still be animations and even some kino there on PPV or something.
Justin Clark
Those aren't friend simulators because the people who review things aren't on the screen. If it's the group up people that talk, that's more of a talk show format where they discuss something.
Red letter media is a friend simulator, for lonely faggots like yourself. Fuck off underage degenerate.
Camden Thomas
So you're fine with Lauren Southern, That one guy that use to be on Vice and various other Sup Forums related "news" show threads here?
This is perfectly fine with me then as I believe we do need more actual Sup Forums users here than you Sup Forums, Sup Forums and Sup Forums drones
Blake Wood
the world would be a better place if you'd off yourself op
Kevin Johnson
it's based on viewers, same as legacy TV
not like painting and crafts shows made money before either
Blake Torres
god all you do is say the same thing over and over, yep red letter media is a friend simulator, already "agreed" on that. IGN and almost every review channel out there DOES get in a group and talk about what ever it is they're talking about. Also why are you so obsessed with the term friend simulator, you sound retarded
Christian Russell
Because this a thread started by you that's about youtube you retarded fuck.
And the group thing I already discussed in my last post retard so read again.
Bentley Hall
>not like painting and crafts shows made money before either Yes, but at least they had a platform that was sustainable. PBS is donation-driven and publicly-funded. Instead of YT Red or whatever, they should've set up a PPW where channels that have real production put into it could go. No vidya, no vlogging. Just independent movies and animations.
Blake Davis
Started by me? What in tarnation? How the hell is three guys sitting down, saying "yeah yeah this game was cool" a friend simulator all you do is get wet about red letter media keep repeating like a broken record though idiot
James Morales
if people are interested in them yeah
internet docs can be pretty kino. vice went from internet to TV because people liked it
Angel Moore
Because very little of Youtube is actually created content.
Youtube videos and e-celebs there and the most viewed stuff... it's personal opinions. Not fiction.
Now you will move the goalpost, I now, because what it art and whatever. And I'll repeat what I write already.
Youtube's mostly entries are personal opinion vids.
David Gutierrez
Read my last post retard, I already discussed the group discussion by IGN.
Kill yourself.
Austin Garcia
btw there's still animation crap that's popular on youtube. I see those "the school of life" videos trending like every day. you just need it to explain some stupid life lesson to libtards or something
also, youtube is way more sustainable than PPV crap. No one would buy that. You can use patreon, youtube ads, donations, to make money online too. Plus, people that do crafts TV don't make a whole living from it anyway. They probably also make/draw things for money and do lessons as well.
