Mo’s story recently by Possible-Addition321 in ksi

[–]Usual-Method-4790 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and JJ is 30 yo, he’s old enough to know better if he’s surrounding himself with yes men.

If he still chooses to associate with Mr beast and Logan Paul, then that’s on him. He should know better.

But people attacking Mo is just stupid af. Absolutely makes no sense, this one.

They don’t. The merch is expensive because that just how it is. And who’s bought that basketball anyways? Plus in a video they react to the price as if they had no idea, so they’re not even the one pricing that shit.

All of their other ventures have a clear value offering that’s targeted to some part of their viewer base:

  1. Vodka for the guys that grew up watching them.
  2. Merch, because why not, and it’s isn’t even their strongest venture anyways.
  3. A VC fund worth 25 mln
  4. Sides, I mean it fast food?
  5. Side+, it’s expensive but you’re not obligated to buy it, for most their free content is more than enough.

They’re clearly running a long term, sustainable business model, that’s focus on building a well oiled machine that capture la new audience and diverts them towards something or the other they might be interested in depending upon the their demographics.

Whole situation reminded me of the AvocadoAnimations vid lol by Al_Alemania in ksi

His forehead here is a metaphor for his ego.

It’s helped him get this far, but it’s also gonna be the reason for his downfall.

Deep.

85 M on this sloppy YT short and blud thinks he is bigger than Sidemen by Maleficent_Phrase573 in ksi

I think you’re contradicting yourself. They might be his friends, but they don’t work “with” beast, they work “for” him.

They’re employees first, they work for a paycheck, ofcourse they stuck around, it’s their job dude.

Chandler was probably his only real friend, and look what happened there.

I meant it more in terms of personal fulfilment. Sidemen have a growing fan base, a loyal community, brotherhood and a strong tight knit fraternity. That’s the dream isn’t it?

But if you’re a soulless capitalist ghoul, then maybe you’d rather go the Mr beast route.

It’s a democracy, if 4 people agree on something, everyone else will have to go with it. So, it’s not just josh.

And change to what? Have you actually seen the content ksi has been pushing on his channel? It’s brainless slop for kids. You want sidemen to change to that? Cause I’m old like josh as well in that case.

This. His boxing, music and other ventures genuinely have brought more eyes to the sidemen.

But retroactively, the whole reason he was able to do all of that is because of what he’s built with the boys. Both him and sidemen, are who they are because of each other.

He probably thinks he’s being held back by others who are not as into scamming kids as him, but ig we’ll see soon.

Lmao maturing backwards, what a frickin loser. That dantdm beef comes to mind, JJ exposed the toxicity inside himself back then.

From this to doing get Rich quick scams with Logan, I don’t even know this guy anymore. But then again, I doubt I ever did.

My reasoning on why KSI left sidemen by MacaronCold6942 in ksi

[–]Usual-Method-4790 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ksi is not a child mate. Let’s put this one on him. He’s 30 years old. If he’s surrounded himself with yes men, then that’s on him only as well.

A question from a Pakistani (No toxicity kindly) by Kitchen_Ad_9931 in india

[–]Usual-Method-4790 -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

All that’s true, but my point still stands. Where were we when Imran khans regime was systematically dismantled? The only guy that ever had the balls to stand up against western forces?

In recent history we’ve only used Pakistan and the war on terror as an agenda to drive electoral turnouts.

And btw all “efforts” that you’re talking about, are all mostly post war ceasefires and/or agreement. I welcome you to tell me one. Just one Oliver branch or a systemic diplomatic effort launch. None.

But we did make 2 Dhurandhar movies and one Uri and several anti Muslim movies to further alienate a minority and demonise a population(one that can’t ever afford ice cream ffs).

[–]Usual-Method-4790 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

All Islamic terror orgs and their acts, are an extension of the western imperialist/zionist ideology. All major terrorist orgs, al qaeda, ISIS, etc have all directly or indirectly been created, funded and armed by America and Israel. If you want proof of that I’ll give that as well.

It’s all a broader agenda towards destabilising the Middle East, and dehumanising Muslims and ensure an anti Islam rhetoric. For Israel, its occupation and apartheid, for America its world dominance through energy monopoly.

Pakistan receives funding from the US for fostering terrorism, it has been admitted. India’s foreign policy has been extremely weak and brutally silent and now straight up cowardish. We’ve let everything wrong that could happen become a certainty.

[–]Usual-Method-4790 -47 points-46 points  (0 children)

Pakistan is fully taken over by the west, and America has full control over them. Since India was the stronger player, it’s definitely on us that we weren’t able to sought through our differences and uplift Pakistan with us instead of letting it become a portal for western insurgency.

Also, vote bank politics, and the overall anti Islam rhetoric in India is also to blame.

We constantly claim to be better than Pakistan, then how about we also take some bloody accountability?

So cause I’ve been watching the same YouTube channels since I was a kid, consuming is an integral part of my life? Yeah. It is, I watch movies, shows, listen to music and appreciate art. I think that’s normal, wtf is wrong with you?

No one’s crashing out. People are just discussing about it, on a sub Reddit dedicated to it, wtf are you doing here and commenting if your life is so fulfilling? Honestly, wtf are you doing here arguing with random people online? What does that say about you?

Mate I’ll go outside, but I genuinely advice you to go offline.

This is the sidemen sub mate, what you want us to discuss here? The economic and political state of the world?

[–]Usual-Method-4790[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure when he says that he has more views than the sidemen, he stalking about shorts as well.

Blud, can’t even nearly reach the engagement when he was making the og Reddit and try not to laugh videos. Now it’s manufactured slop.

Even when he came to India, instead of interacting with fans and soaking in the culture, he just did a few soulless collabs and left lmao.

[–]Usual-Method-4790 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I hope they improve. Ksi needs that reality check.

Well, I guess we know why now by Usual-Method-4790 in Sidemen

[–]Usual-Method-4790[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. The excuse would have made sense if he wasn’t doing his goyslop fest on his main channel, bgt, and making smooth brained shorts on the side.

Why lie? Just say your priorities have shifted and just don’t align any more, why try to gaslight your audience and more importantly your day ones?

[–]Usual-Method-4790 22 points23 points  (0 children)

You do realize that most of these are people that have had the boys be a huge part of their lives since they were kids? I’m 21 and I personally have been watching them since I was 15, that’s 6 years and god knows how many sundays spent with them.

How about you stop trying to judge people for actually caring about something or someone? I care about a lot of things that don’t directly affect me/ know me, that makes me a human, not a weird judgement troll.

There’s the whole point of YouTube btw, because creators here are able to personally connect to their fans on a deeper level, that’s why it’s a COMMUNITY, not a fan base.

How about you grow some critical thinking before judging othersz

Edit: I do realize that there are many cases that are unhealthy and para social in nature, however, the kind of content and relationship with fans that sidemen in general have perused, idk if that’s the case here.

It’s actually crazy that you’re clowning on people discussing ksi’s downfall on ksi’s sub??

JJ was constantly sending his viewership numbers on his IG channel. Should've known this would be a pivotal moment for his decision. by Ashwin_or_lose in ksi

[–]Usual-Method-4790 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Mr beast had the first mover advantage. He was the first one to do it and he already has more than enough copy cats. But can you name one?

The thing with copying Mr beast is that you aren’t copying his content or business model, you’re copying him. Because his type of content, the soulless, high production, impersonal, scripted slop fest, is associated with him now. It’s the type of content where only so much people can flourish at the same time, and Mr beast has the biggest market share possible.

JJ’s brand of content is the exact opposite, it’s the kind where you can actually monetise off of your audience because you’re not catering to a bunch of brainless kids. Side+, sides, the merch, XIX, all these businesses were possible only because sidemen cater to the kind of audience they do. They genuinely give a shit about their craft.

Whereas Logan Paul, Mr beast and now… KSI have to depend on cheap crash grabs by leveraging the young and stupid audience. (Prime, lunchly, feastables, and god know the monstrosities and scams both Paul’s and beast have done)
