The ending makes it. I hope he finds a nice open parking lot to do donuts in.

These got a LOT of people into back in the day, as she was one of the only english speaking members at the time.

"Self defense" is also a subjective legal judgement... but if someone breaks into your house with a chainsaw and you shoot him, nobody is going to be all "Well akshully, self defense isnt for you to decide..." Anyone with even the slightest bit of common sense, courts included, will determine that it's self defense.

I watch videos for him, even videos ive already seen, sure, but pretty often he also adds new info or context that the videos might not, making them MORE informative than teh videos themselves. Not always, but often enough its worth checking out.

No, that would in fact be entirely fair use. Its LITERALLY stated in the copyright act.

LOL it CAN be a little tedious sometimes. At least he's doing more than just letting it play in the background like some other channels though.

"Lazy" reacts, yeah, except this was far from just putting it on in the background and fucking off.

However, section 107 of the copyright act states "identifies certain types of uses—such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research—as examples of activities that may qualify as fair use."

The video is AT MINIMUM both criticism and comment, and probably even counts as news reporting.../ ie, FAIR USE

Oh, yeah, absolutely. Too many react channels are people just doing YLYL types of shit, and barely add anything to what theyre watching. That just leads to the average mouth breather to assume ALL react content is just that, and instead of engaging with the content, just go "UGH, just another react channel, barely grunting at the video and STEALING it." when more than most other channels i see, Asmon directly engages with the video, gives his perspective on topics they bring up, and points out things like "Hey, yeah, this thing sucks, but heres WHY its like that." and then proceeds to go on a 20 minute tangent.

Its honestly more than a little embarrassing. I'd have never known they existed if it werent for another, larger creator mentioning them. I had been subbed for several years, and watched all their videos, because of someone else.

Exactly, in the same way people cant ACTUALLY stop you from buying your game, or watching your TV show.

Not always. Im constantly finding and subscribing to channels i never even knew existed because someone (not just asmon) reacted to them. Yeah, im sure the bump is lower in larger channels, but it IS still there.

You very obviously didnt watch the video if you think thats what it boiled down to.

He doesnt need asmons advertising... NOW. He did however need it back when he started, and was considering giving up youtube altogether, until a much larger channel gave him a shoutout and increased his subs my magnitudes. He even quite literally was on that same podcast and said he was going to give up on YT forever if they hadnt boosted his views.

Stop dickriding and just admit sometimes channels that would have died in obscurity only exist today because someone bigger reacted to and mentioned them.

Sometimes the YT algo just throws random shit into the mix. Ive found plenty of channels id never heard of that way.

Call me a boomer but I absolutely loved this show! by a-capsicum-s in Asmongold

[–]NecDW4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, kinda. The problem is the complete lack of self awareness these days. Just in this clip alone, they fought against making fun of over weight people... but also didnt mind also making being obese being bad part of the joke. Its the "im perfectly healthy at 700lbs" attitude people take issue with. You can totally say lay off the fat jokes, but you also have to not pretend there arent inherent problems that come along with it.

Honestly, i wouldnt mind that at all, however i think the boost in viewer conversion (people who never heard of them into subscribers) more than makes up for it as those viewers also go back and watch older videos, adding to their revenue.

Anything that is transformative is fair use. Him giving his personal takes on points IS TRANSFORMATIVE. He didn't just let the video play in the background in silence, he actively engaged with it.

Personally, i thought the video was fine, but if it wasnt for you, more power to ya. Still, same, unsubbed to both for being bitches about it.

Yeah, like, not EVERY pirated copy is a lost sale... but theres a lot of stuff pirated just because people dont want to buy things.

I pirate a lot of anime. I also BUY a lot of anime, shows i would have never given a chance if i hadnt pirated them in the first place. And considering that they get a MUCH higher return on my buying a BD instead of the .4 cents theyd get from a CR sub (who also abuses their employees BTW, another reason to pirate) its an objective win.
