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.

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.

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 do 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.

Why does he feel that it’s necessary to present the information by talking into a webcam? What’s wrong with publishing text?
bread@feddit.nl 2 weeks ago
He’s presenting information to his audience, where his audience is.
mang0@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Total shit argument. You can publish text on youtube too.
Peffse@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
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

no reason to give him more work
Unpopular opinion but setting up a whole recording studio and cutting a video without fucking up a bunch is a lot more fucking work than just writing a damn text document.

Imagine the audacity of a video creator to publish a video on a video platform, what has society come to smh
mang0@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
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.
RepleteLocum@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
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.

Watching/listening to a recording is faster than reading something.
That’s just wrong.
I can multitask while listening to it, for instance.
Why post it to youtube in that case? If you’re watching a video where the only the audio is relevant, why the fuck is it a video?
RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Because people don’t read longform text anymore.
mang0@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
The brilliant part about writing text is that you don’t have to read all of it. You can have sections where people can find the information they actually are interested in. The only problem is less ad money.

fast forwarding is your friend
rumba@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
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 :)
descartador@lemmy.eco.br 2 weeks ago
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.
mang0@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Automatic transcripts are not comparable to intentionally written text. Are you actually serious?
jsomae@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
probably faster to create and gets more views

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.

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.
beejboytyson@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You just mentioned everything pirate SW did. You think he a plant?
Sp00kyB00k@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
No, he is a narcissist bastard that likes to be always right. Going on his first impuls on what he thinks the answer should be and sticking with it.
He is too dumb, to self-involved and not competent enough to be a plant.

He was a developer with the financial incentive to not put in the work required by this initiative into his presumptive games.
sp3ctr4l@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 weeks ago
Probably not in the direct sense, given that he uh ‘used to work’ at Blizzard.
As a game tester.
By that metric, I am an ex MSFT employee, because I did that routinely as well.
(I then went on to actually work for MSFT as a database admin/dev, but you get the idea)
He’s is an extremely useful and extremely idiotic useful idiot, like uh, Tim Pool.
