Maybe in our fear and stigmatization of homosexuality we, as men, have lost something in the process:

the ability to stand up and proclaim our love for one another as friends and comrades. We're so scared of how we appear, we've reduced ourselves to emotionally stunted husks. Look, I'm not here to preach, but, uh, maybe if each of us told another homie that we genuinely care about them, maybe we would not be half as depressed and pathological as we are right now. It's easy to forget yourself. I've been there many times, and... and each time the pit is just as empty and bottomless as it was before. In my paralysis, it is only because of the people closest to me that I remind myself I can climb out of it.

what a genuinely beautiful quote
a gay, misunderstood and beside the point rewording of the hermeneutics of gay suspicion
the less you stigmatize homosexuality collectively, the more you put the onus on men to signal harder they are not faggots individually, and in effect put the fret of appearing homosexual into male interactions
it's a biological imperative - the more you're okay with the gay, the harder men have to signal they're not mentally aberrant, diseased faggots who want to dig shit with their dicks in another man's asshole, or a child's
Nigs and Mussulmen are some of the most anti-gay openly but homo on the down-low

Sseth is certainly over 30, now. That's way past the point most creative people have original ideas. I hope he continues to make videos, but people shouldn't be surprised he's becoming more generic.

At the very least, he's an antidote to the boring, overly descriptive, factual style of the "video essay" crowd (it's not a coincidence that he's conspicuously more intelligent than all of them). Reviews should be as engaging as the game they're reviewing, this should be the main rule for all "criticism".

No merchants were charged in the making of this video.
BUT THEY WILL BE SOON OHOHOHO

I've got two projects in the burner, and one of them will, by popular demand, separate thy coin from thy coinpurse.

The TL;DR for the recent uploads is I needed to get finances in order. Partly out of paranoia for the platform, but also the fact that insiders tipped me off about the change of CEO. Since day 1 of making this a full-time venture, i've lived with the ever-present premonition that I can lose everything in a single moment. You can meditate, rationalize or try to be mindful, but this fear doesn't go away. But now i've covered my bases, and I can actually focus on making stuff.

Thank you for reading this unnecessary spiel.
Please enjoy,
sincerely,
Sseth

Ending suggest we might have a Earth Defense Force video next, which is right up Sseth's alley.

My team has the sexiest and deadliest waifus you can recruit.
Youtube is probably going to get even worse considering the new CEO is an ad company guy who wanted to implement NFT's to the platform.

I can't remember the last time I saw an ad on Youtube.
It's not about you seeing them, it's about ad people dictating the sort of content that should be allowed on youtube. That's why most youtubers just rely on sponsorships now. They know following all the obscure rules youtube gives inevitably ends up in you basically not having any sort of identity.

The problem is that the rules aren't entirely clear and enforcement is arbitrary, so even those who try to play by the rules and not say thinly veiled racial slurs like Sseth get either their videos or their entire channel demonetized. Having your income nuked while being unable to tell what you did wrong and the website itself being unhelpful figuring out what's wrong is killing for the motiviation of many a video maker.

Then there's the entire copyright claim thing, where people who have nothing to do with what's in your video being able to take your ad money. I've seen a guy (ymfah, who makes Dark Souls and Skyrim challenge runs) who managed a workaround by putting in music he uploaded on another channel into his videos so he can copyright claim his own videos and taking his own money. But that's finnicky and you shouldn't have to game the system like that to succeed.

Let's be honest, youtube had thousand ways out other than this kind of draconian monetization policy, they wanted it to be the way it is.
There's no problem with letting advertisers choose what kind of content they don't want to be linked to their ads, in the end the audience will stick to youtube anyway, but of course very significant reasons were discovered why whole gigantic sections of the platform had to be first demonetized and then some of them also thrown out of it because you see YouTube was getting outcompeted by uhhhh vimeo when it came to attracting advertisers, right? There was also no way in hell there are some businesses that want their products to be marketed to the unwanted kind of channels(even when they get sponsors for every single video).

To believe that the current CEO won't be worse is ridiculous, Wojcicki was a daft whore but here you're dealing with a fucking Indian, he'll scientifically manage youtube into the ground.
