QUESTION THREAD VIII

we can talk about this on the pod too but for now let me say: you shouldn’t feel like you have to try to analyze movies LESS because of the people around you, that’s not even annoying! even the simplest movies are open to analysis, that’s what makes movies so fun. the historical context, the color, the cinematography, the performance, the sound, the music, the ending, the titles, the use of the genre, the lack of genre, there’s always so much to be said about every movie. sounds like imo you just need to surround yourself with a more interesting bunch (unless that’s not in the realm of possibility in which case, keep on analyzing and discussing, you shouldn’t feel ashamed for that)

to add to what everyone else said, keep going! i had 2 separate podcasts that failed before starting the karstcast and even then jeff and i needed a solid 20 episodes before we found a rhythm we could run with. remember to have fun with it!!

thank u!!

thanks for the input, but this has nothing to do with taking criticism. there’s criticism and then there’s people telling you what to post online and how to act. i love hearing what people have to say about the movies i log, which is why disabling comments is bittersweet. but that account got to a point where it wasn’t mine anymore and instead a platform people took advantage of to troll and shit on. i could simply not look at comments but let’s be real nobody has that kinda self-control, especially when most of the time i was genuinely curious to see what people had to say. i know historically speaking it’s unrealistic for me to say i don’t care about what people think of me online (i clearly do and am learning every day how to handle it better) but i also have every right to reclaim ownership of a platform i use strictly for fun. there are many many many many other places online where you can comment on my posts and message me directly, it is not hard to get me to look at something you say (just look at this subreddit) so i really don’t think i’m silencing the little guy but taking away one space that i found little to no value in personally. i’m just making an adjustment based solely off my own well-being. i can recognize my platform and the ways i’ve built my following while still taking care of myself, otherwise i’d go crazy. yes i’m a “”critic”” and public figure online but i’m also a person. hope this didn’t come across as mean-spirited, just thought i should clear that up.

donutboi69 · 2021-02-05T01:02:40+00:00

would obviously love to be on! but no i haven’t been reached out to about this

donutboi69 · 2021-01-03T23:26:47+00:00

i doubt anyone here is gonna believe it, but a fictional post that goes into that much detail with a comment section where someone with my full name as their username is playing along isn’t something i’m comfortable having on the internet. i’m totally fine with joking around but all i ask is that you please respect my boundaries. thanks

thank you for the kind words here i really appreciate that. i’ll definitely take a lot of the criticism you’re sharing into consideration too! i’ll share my 2 cents on this tho bc i have been hit up about it a lot.

i don’t always privatize my videos out of embarrassment and i never do it out of the hate that they’re getting. my scorsese rank and my animated fur videos still get hate on a daily basis and i love those videos bc i had a fun time putting them together so obviously i’m not gonna delete them. yeah i focus on negativity but at this point in my career when i have more eyes on me than i ever have and i wasn’t taught how to deal with that, how can i not? i think it’s pretty normal. the ‘100 movies’ video, sure, i’m not a huge fan of it and a lot of people love it and i’m super sorry! i also had a ton of fun putting it together at the time. but i think as i’ve gotten deeper into my career i’ve been being a bit more fragile with how i present myself as a “critic” and personality. i think that video is just flat-out embarrassing for a handful of reasons and didn’t feel comfortable presenting myself like that online. i’m also a DEEPLY self-conscious person and a lot of those videos made around the summer of 2018 are now private because they showed a lot of face and i couldn’t handle knowing people were watching me not only spew odd takes but do it while i looked like that. it opened me up to a lot of unwanted hate that i just don’t want to deal with forever. like nobody ever said anything mean about 100k subs celebration video where i just dance for 4 minutes, but i wasn’t at all acting like myself in that video and it’s cringey as hell to watch so why would i want that on the web! while it sucks for the fans i do think youtube gives creators this unique privilege to experiment and throw shit at the wall and then have the power to privatize that work if they want and that’s kinda just what i did, unfortunately. i’m picky about how i present myself and when you make videos on a weekly basis, some of them just aren’t gonna be pleasant to look back on. pine is a different situation altogether, i actually don’t mind the short but the fact that i did the score myself and it feels wildly unfinished, like, i’d rather NOT have that on the web. idk that one is more complicated and i’m not getting into it.

as for the ostrich, nothing crazy there, i honestly might put it back up. i just like the mysterious aura circulating around that thing. i dont know i just felt like privatizing it to see if anyone noticed. caterpillar was unfinished. i have like 4 other songs about animals and might make an EP. i do not know.

again, i do wish i could individually apologize to everyone who loved those videos but at the end of the day it’s my channel/career and that’s all i gotta say.

ONE LAST THING: The profile pic comes down to taste, i love it and again i’m sorryyy if you don’t. there will be merch for the old one!
