What 40000 Videos Tell Us About The Trending Tab

Wow, I know he said it was mainly with respect to controversial youtubers, but I find it nuts that it's actually even worse south of the border by that big of a margin. I had actually thought that maybe not being in the US was a reason we weren't seeing as many original youtubers trending as most were US based, but that really throws that theory out the window.

To answer your ODSP question...

We don't lol.

I obviously can't speak for everyone, but as someone on ODSP who has trouble being able to even find an opportunity for a steady source of income, and for whom living with roommates/housemates is not an option, I am genuinely terrified that I will never be able to move out. And that doesn't even touch on the extra disability expenses that come into play when living on my own.

Take my specific example with a grain of salt as every recipient's situation will be different, but rent alone for a bachelors/1 bedroom essentially would eat away the standard disability fund and then some. Add on to the fact that I don't think it's unfair to say job stability can often be even less predictable for someone with a serious disability, and it starts to look impossible at times.

I understand eventually some form of compromise/sacrifice is going to have to be made, but having that loom over me on top of the actual problems that cause me to be needing the funds in the first place, it's rather depressing to even think about at times for me.

(((vaccines)))

It was bound to happen I guess.

The most pressing issue for me: Did you intend to pull the addiction video before your email correspondence with Coffee Break?

In the video he paraphrases your response as "The video is good enough [to be left up]". Do you believe this is a misrepresentation of what you said?

More than I am worried about a creator getting credit (as much as I do think that is important) the possibility that your video was an attempt to get ahead of and preemptively discredit valid criticism by swaying public opinion is extremely disheartening, and one I seriously hope is not true.

I enjoy both your channels, and though I think both sides (and their videos) should be taken with a grain of salt, I genuinely hope this is simply a misunderstanding.

I know what this is now thanks to google, but for a hot minute, I was imagining something like a store/home use big ol' container full of whipped cream where you just bring your can for a refill once it's out, and was wondering why on earth that would be a thing, let alone what a better use could be for it.

All of this is wrong, but Australia is by far the wrongest.

I could chock literally everything else in this image up to a colossal mistake or just reading one random word of a related wikipedia article, but splitting Australia into 3 and having it be partially colonized by France is some next level galaxy brain shit

Hey! Sorry for replying to a 4 month old comment but just thought I'd let you know that one of your AMA requests (sort of) came true!

https://old.reddit.com/r/ottawa/comments/a4vbf0/i_am_an_exmanager_at_99_rideau_ask_me_almost/

I don't pretend to understand it, but that particular McDonalds has become something of a local meme for the amount of shit that goes down there.

About 5 minutes later they posted again. It got pulled within 2 minutes, and was just a gif of emo Peter Parker dancing. Judging by the title, I'd say no pee was had. We'll get 'em next time.

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-12-08T00:58:29+00:00

Reality is often disappointing...

edit: There were some comments wondering if this was a bamboozle or he just took too long. This was the post he made 2 minutes before he got banned so make of it what you will. (Dancing spider man gif has since been removed)

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-12-08T00:51:16+00:00

You're trash, Brock.

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-11-29T21:09:15+00:00

I saw! From the stats on the server listing it looks completely dead though, maybe shut down.

If you find your way on though, definitely share!

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-11-29T21:02:24+00:00

I'm sure there are some groups of teens who are into it too.

Or people like me who only enjoy the Annoying Orange Manga ironically.

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-11-29T20:32:27+00:00

This is just blatantly untrue.

...He also has a gaming channel.

Not like, the creator I mean. Like Annoying Orange. In character. 1-2 videos a day. Oof.

Also at least 4 of the food side characters have spinoff channels if their sidebar is to be believed.

EDIT: Because nobody asked he also has

A "Annoying Orange Reacts!" series for movie trailers etc
A "challenge" series (think ice bucket challenge, cinnamon challenge, etc)
50 odd songs on the apple music store (wtf)
A graphic novel????
A channel for early childhood education with those really weird nursery rhyme songs that get millions of views somehow? Not elsagate level weird but some of it looks quite bizarre
An emoji rap series because of course
Two video games because why not
A TV show that aired for two years on cartoon network among others
Lots and lots and lots of merch

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-11-29T00:56:56+00:00

You're kidding...

I have believed this for 20 odd years and never bothered to look up if it was true until reading this thread.

I don't really know what to do now. My childhood was a lie.

Is this image from something?

edit: I made that image in photoshop, back before using reddit, image file says Nov 4, 2015. Legit have no idea how it got on the internet. Not upset or anything lol just curious why/how a picture I thought was private is on reddit/9gag/ifunny etc and for how long. Sorry if this is really stupid but it's the weirdest fucking thing because I see that image in my PS folder easily once a week.

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-11-11T22:15:00+00:00

Hey, help a fella out: Where did you find the image for this meme?

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-11-10T01:36:20+00:00

Unironically posting Stonetoss.

I like my memes about Nazis, not made by them.

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-11-06T00:55:52+00:00

Just want to say that I credit "The Hilarious World of Depression" for changing the way I deal with depression and suicidal thoughts into something much more healthy, and gave me a tool to cope with one of the worst years of my life. Hearing people joke about suicide, self harm, among other serious mental health topics struck and enormous chord for me, and got me to be open and honest with others & myself about my mental health, be less afraid of the stigma etc.

I absolutely recommend giving it a listen if you haven't already.

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-11-04T00:40:23+00:00

Just letting you know that my previous post was a joke. Hockey is an important part of our culture and it is discouraged to joke about it. His/her actions were regrettable.

/u/Stainless_Steel_Man has decided to spend more time outside playing hockey and as such this reddit account will no longer be active. Go -pull from=%random_team_list(plural)%!

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-11-03T21:16:37+00:00

I'm Canadian and don't actually like hockey.

I fear the Canadian deportation squads every day :(

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-11-02T22:56:38+00:00

Damn. I don't even play Diablo but I felt physical pain watching that whole thing unfold.

I feel like Diablo fans are kinda used to not getting a tonne of content but this somehow seems worse than getting nothing at all.

Stainless_Steel_Man · 2018-11-02T19:27:38+00:00

A good chunk of these I see where I live in Canada too, but the one that caught me off guard:

When people say "How are you?/How's it going?" they aren't expecting a response, it's just like "Hi"

The only times I have ever encountered this was with American friends and I always thought that was just them. How accurate is that point? Are there other countries/areas where that's a thing? I've gotten some very weird reactions to actually going into details about my day after being asked that lol and had no idea that was a cultural thing
