It's the most entertaining review he's done in a long long time

I agree that this was a good review, but the decline-narrative is way overblown. Elden Ring was a fucking amazing review, one of his best (many of his fans just didn't get the joke), and that Company of Heroes 2 review was also pretty good. Honestly most good YouTubers seem like they have 2 or 3 years in them of good reviews maximum, yet Sseth is still going stronk

Drugs allowed him to finish his doctorate and garner an audience large enough to be set for life but don't do drugs kids, you'll regret being successful.

Set for life? LOL!

He can't get his vidya monetized and sponsorships are uh... risky, to to say the least. Once his paypigs lose interest, he'll be back to dealing out drug prescriptions to addicts.

He doesn't even get a fixed income from his patreon as all his default options are pay per video.

Edit: He also declares half his videos as being unofficial/freebies and doesn't charge his patreon subscribers when they release.

Could you try to at least not going full retard once in your lifetime
I was being slightly hyperbolic (terribly inappropriate and out of place with Sseth, I know), but beyond that, how exactly would you describe his little declaration?

"after so long I finally realised: I'm not sick, I was never sick, I just live in a sick society, where someone's individual worth is measured only by the raw productive output they can spit out before being chewed up by the gears, irrespective of their own unique neurochemistry and spirit.

Sure, you could say he was being facetious, but it's pretty plainly delivered and ties in directly to his immediately previous complaints about ritalin, a cognitive performance enhancing drug, being "a vampire and it's gonna suck your will to live". That whole section starts with a joke, but doesn't really end on one. Maybe just aren't familiar with the phrase? I gave your edgy bile a serious answer, maybe you can do me the same courtesy this once.

Yeah, the anarchist mindset at work. Just because he despises the rat race (which can be understandable given his background) does not mean that he subscribe to your ideological drivel about "abolishing work".

Please spare the "akschually anti-work is more like a term for thoughtful critic about the philosophical and societal implication of me having to cook my dinner by myself instead of resorting to fully automatic luxury gay communism".

I never said he wanted to abolish a thing, and if anything it's a populist term now -- not an anarchist one, but I'm glad you find arguing with strawmen so fulfilling. Maybe just, you know, don't tag me in it next time?

Unless it's "sex work" :M
You are quite welcome to continue sucking on jackboots without compensation. :M

Is it even bait at his point ?
No. I don't know the details, but inasmuch as there's a "community" around that term, there's been dumb e-drama over how it's now solidly middle class "i wish i had a better work-life balance" types over people agitating (or more likely just shitposting) for an end to capitalism.

Quelle surprise
Again, complaining about a hint of hyperbole re: a sseth video just strikes me as arguing for the sake of arguing. Others understood my meaning just fine, but you seem to always find cause for conflict. /shrug

They seem to spend a great amount of time discussing the issue on shoutbox.
Sad to hear that Ol' Willy got corrupted into becoming a shoutbox regular.
Within the Ottoman empire the idea that boys weren't men and that it was for this reason okay to have sex with them as a man was prevalent. One can refer to Lord Charlemont's "The Travels in Greece and Turkey" from 1749, who on a Turkish ship found that there were boys around only for the purpose of homosexual relations. There are passages in the memoirs of Baron de Tott where he describes Ottoman soldiers fighting for the attention of boy dancers and that the boys were in higher demand than the girls.

The young men aiming to become court officials were also notorious for their homosexual relations, they wouldn't stop having their gay orgies. You could read Turkish poetry and find that they have a particular love for young boys. Then there's the expression of "khanith" for transsexuals as well as the gender ambiguity of the Turkish language. How can you read Jalāl al-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī and not see the obvious homo-eroticism in his poetry?

He's just trying to save his ass from the imminent mass prosecution for medical malpractice by distancing himself from the establishment. Also just because someone says he doesn't like his soul-eroding job doesn't mean he's "literally me" and warrants whatever label you slap on yourself like "anti work" etc placed on him.

I hope he never has to work a single day in his life again.
IIRC there was a point where he made close to the yearly minimum wage per video. If he doesn't charge for the video it's because either he thinks the game is not worth your money (COQ) or that he's been sponsored (his latest). So even if he slacks and makes six monetized videos per year you're looking at well over 80k. Sure that's not the jackpot but if he channels the full power of his semitic ancestry a few years of working the grind he could make it work.

Antiwork is textbook post-marxism nonsense, and it's intrinsically tied to the notion of abolishing any kind of work. That's the origin of the word, and a notion so utterly retarded that redditor had to cop-out by pretending it's also about not being a wageslave, blissfully forgetting the endgoal of their own ideology.
Internet activist are pathetic scum either way, and it's not because some "antiworker" suddenly had a spark of lucidity that we must lump all the group critical of "rat race" with anti-work, that's a pathetic attempt at rewriting history and concept.

Weird how all of your "hyperbole" and "stylistic wrtining" always mimic marxist rhetoric. Almost like you have an agenda.

The codex strive on conflict between its user, and yet you're one the few complaining. Don't like the culture ?

Ritalin is more like amphetamine.

Anything that fucks with the brain’s reward system is addictive. Methylphenidate is definitely a habit-forming drug.
Fun Fact: If you have a specific allele (I can't be assed to look up the name of the gene right now), even the highest medically prescribed dose of methylphenidate loses out to an ordinary mug of coffee. I learned this from experience and genetic testing.
