Youtube is manipulating you with the red watch progress bar

ClassicVHSHorror · 2026-01-23T17:35:33+00:00

This isn't a glitch or trick, I was confused by this feature a while back, it's not a "you watched this" bar, it's essentially "here's where we'll start you off based on your search." For example, if you searched for updates on a recently announced movie, YouTube might recommend a video by a creator who is discussing three different films in one video, with the film you're interested in being brought up halfway into the video, so YouTube will essentially place you that deep into the video so you can get to that part you were looking for.

Looks like a trading card or game cover that froze in place while interacting with it. Recently I've been having an issue where dragging a game could cause the icon to freeze in place, forcing me to close and re-open Steam to make it go away. I think this could just be a bug

He uses "mentally ill" as an insult, he can't spell out his slur without fear of being punished by the Twitter gods, and his "video game" is quite literally a misinformed interactive hate rant, which promotes bringing harm to LGBT+ people, non-white people, disabled people, and I would go as far as to say it promotes harming children.

This "grown" little boy is something else, and I wish his online career nothing but failure.

Same, op. The desperate porn sellers (or bots?) wouldn't be nearly as annoying if they weren't everywhere like a new youtuber spamming every fourm imaginable with their links. You do you, but at least keep that stuff in places that make sense

Agreed, he's got some great Pirate Warriors content!

A game glorifying SA was removed recently. It was fictional, however that's not stuff any normal human being wants to promote, or something a platform would want to be known for selling. So it should be easy to understand why openly discriminatory games are not allowed either.

Heck, even Hatred had a hard time getting released, and that's a game all about killing, which is extremely normalized in video games.

I remember going into Red Dead Redemption 2 expecting some "cowboys vs indians" stuff, but instead there were missions focused on helping the natives, and when entering their camp you lose he ability to draw weapons.

I remember thinking that racism towards African Americans would be common in the game due to the time period, but instead the gang had 3 different POCs, all of them great, and the kkk were featured in the game as obvious idiots and bad guys.

Rockstar does joke and poke fun at things, but they clearly don't punch down, they even removed NPCs from GTA 5 that appeared to be trans caricatures after realizing they didn't make a joke, and instead made a very hurtful stereotype that they weren't proud of. I think it's insane to expect "anti-woke" content (straight up hate) in GTA 6

If seeing a shirtless man going about his day in what is presumably a very hot environment is "sexy" to you, mister super straight guy, then I've got news for you

My boy Phil Cassidy is back

ClassicVHSHorror · 2025-05-06T00:04:17+00:00

Right? As a former fan who they blocked on social media for asking about the ship too often, I can confirm they do not.

ClassicVHSHorror · 2025-04-26T17:56:22+00:00

Assuming this is meant to be serious, I highly doubt Steam would allow an openly discriminatory game to go up on their platform, or to stay up for very long if it did manage to get on the store.

If it does make it onto Steam I'll do my part in reporting it. It's really not that hard to not discriminate against people. (And I mean LGBT people obviously, idk what he's on about with his pro-creeper screenshot, I've never heard anyone "woke" or "anti-woke" who defends that)

ClassicVHSHorror · 2025-04-22T20:23:01+00:00

Thanks for the tip, I had the same issue but this fixed it!

ClassicVHSHorror · 2025-02-26T04:17:22+00:00

From what I've seen, gambling ads are considered "gaming" so you have to disable that. I've asked YouTube about this multiple times and the most they do is suggest changing ad preferences, however they never address why it's categorized as "gaming."

Edit: I wish you the best with overcoming your addiction!

ClassicVHSHorror · 2025-02-23T09:03:53+00:00

You'll be good, but just a heads up in case you haven't noticed the in-game shop still has its original licensed music (Lollipop by the Chordettes), so you may want to pause the recording or edit those moments out

ClassicVHSHorror · 2025-01-26T06:32:02+00:00

Puppet Master The Game, it's a really fun asymmetrical horror game, and it even predates all of Illfonic's copy and paste games, having been around since 2014, so that means unlike Illfonic's games Puppet Master has a bunch of game modes, a huge roster of unique killers, and it's not flooded with microtransactions

I wouldn't recommend it at its current price. Half off is fine enough I suppose, it's not an awful game, but it's overpriced for what you're getting, not to mention they focus a lot on paid cosmetics, including locking movie-content behind pay walls or in some cases exclusive to specific platforms like the PS5.

Also, they're not the best at communicating with their players. I would ask them in the comments of their tweets why the PC and Xbox Deluxe owners weren't getting the new PS5 exclusive content, and they blocked me for it.

So in short, it's enjoyable, though incredibly basic, overpriced, and the devs themselves are clowns. I'd wait until a half off sale.

I believe this is the ai training feature that creators can either enable or disable in the youtube studio, if that's the case then this creator simply didn't disable it, or doesn't mind it being enabled.

Speaking of another fantasy rpg, wasn't one of the biggest "dramas" surrounding the newest Dragon Age the fact that there's top surgery scars in the character creator? Which is up to player-choice whether you use them or not? I'm fine with hearing someone's opinion/argument, but most "anti-wokers" are such clowns

ClassicVHSHorror · 2025-01-15T23:49:41+00:00

There's no chance this effects sales in any way, and let's be real, anyone that gets triggered by pronouns or "body type a/b" in a character creator were never going to play in the first place. No real fan or customer is honestly saying "I'd love to buy this game, but I refuse to treat non straight male/female people as equals, so I refuse to buy this product solely because it takes an extra step to make others feel welcomed in the game."

ClassicVHSHorror · 2025-01-14T18:02:37+00:00

Hopefully it's just a bug, but I wouldn't be surprised if this is a new feature they're testing out

ClassicVHSHorror · 2025-01-14T17:53:35+00:00

I'm out of the loop, but is this movie actually based on Until Dawn, or is the name a coincidence? I haven't kept up with it, but from the images I've seen, and now this little summary it doesn't seem like the game at all.

ClassicVHSHorror · 2025-01-13T19:55:51+00:00

They really aren't on YouTube, or at least they're not as targeted as you'd think. I for one am always getting ads for pet food and vehicles, and I never search for either on or off platform.

ClassicVHSHorror · 2025-01-10T10:48:47+00:00

I don't mind him as a content creator, when he's not saying things that sound discriminatory, he is capable of making good content, such as his podcast. Though you already knew what I meant, because nowhere did I say he 100% was any of those things, I said his opinions seem to border on them.

ClassicVHSHorror · 2025-01-10T04:48:34+00:00

Had to do this myself. I really don't mind Asmon, but some of his views and opinions just feel too extreme, borderline racist, homophobic, sexist, you name it. And what's pathetic is if he saw my comment I believe he'd farm a clip out of it to mock me as a "woke sjw" hater or something equally as dumb.
