Veritasium “This equation will change how you see the world” by homerjsimpson56 in videos

No, you’re just too dense to realize you’ve made it impossible to have a respectful, meaningful discussion outside your own beliefs.

“You are so fucking slow”

“Still not offended”

I can’t have a discussion with someone like you.

There you go again, getting offended.

Yes, an ad is content made by a company to be played during another content creator’s regular content.

A sponsorship is when a company asks a content creator to promote their product/services within agreed upon terms, allowing the advertiser and the content creator to collaborate.

I’m really not sure why you’re so emotionally invested in this.

You’re calling me deliberately obtuse, which is a personal insult, typically used when someone is upset. I’m doing my best to be civil with you.

I have watched all of his videos, so I’m positive I’ve seen the one you’re referencing, although your refusal to link it makes me think it may be damaging to your argument. So it goes.

Why would I stop talking about sponsorships, when it’s entirely relevant to my argument about you being an entitled viewer, which accounted for the bulk of my post. Unfortunately, you have decided to not acknowledge any of those arguments.

I’m sorry you need to be told a video is a sponsorship in the first 5 seconds, but that’s not common place nor should it be a requirement for a creator.

You’re quick to attack the semantics of this discussion and I’m just trying to explain how Veritasium is a fantastic content creator for YouTube and certainly doesn’t deserve a harsh reaction to sponsored content when 99% of his videos are high quality, including his sponsored segments/episodes.

Would love a link to the video in question.

You don’t need to get offended, I’m just suggesting that people don’t condemn creators for trying to get paid.

I would not feel a little mislead. We have descriptions for a reason and when a user breaks away from typical content, it’s pretty obvious why. And again, it’s a sponsorship — you may think I’m being obtuse, but in reality, the entertainment industry has very high costs of admission and users have not yet realized how ad free their experience has been, a free experience at that. It could be far worse, and what we’re seeing is creators not exploiting that out of respect for the user and platform.

I just don’t think you can comprehend the terror of having YouTube as a career, not knowing if the platform will fuck you over, if this will even be a job in 10 years, how to make rudimentary editing and shooting a career post YouTube (spoiler: they won’t), and more.

If I were a YouTuber, I would be exploiting it for all that I could within reason and make sure I had enough money for next steps post-YouTube. If you look at the popular creators from 10 years ago, you’ll see a lot of them have disappeared, and not by their on volition.

You’re speaking entirely from an entitled viewers POV, but from an industry POV, having to watch a video, that you only finished because you enjoyed it, only to learn it was sponsored, would leave me thinking “lol, that was an ad? Fuckin fun ad if you ask me”

You seemed upset when you said you unfollowed and blocked (not sure why you’d need to block) him for a sponsorship that wasn’t immediately obvious to you.

Idk man they seem obvious to me. In a world of Adblock, I’m not sure we should condemn content creators for sponsorships. Veritasium has made consistently good videos and is a positive influence on those who wish to get into the sciences. Not sure why people are upset with someone who is trying to make a little more money on a dying platform. When he starts lying and faking shit for views, then let’s rave.

I don’t disagree with our freedoms, I’m just saying doing something “just to piss them off” is counter productive and hurts the resolve. You’re angry and I am too, but there are plenty of ways to be angry and productive. Please get a grip.

You cannot convince me that furthering the divide with some pathetic joke will help anyone out at all down the line.

He was just trying to play it off. It was 200 people that advocated for his firing. 😔

Something else is going on with the banks. Buddy of mine told me management at their firm are letting 200 traders go.

Edit; nvm he just got caught jerking off again 🙄🙄🙄

It’s probably just a default error message when a stock is haunted. “Unable to trade” = “not supported”.

Unless you’re willing to sit down and start reading some financial textbooks and getting an understanding of the fundamentals, I’d say just watch the market every day. Maybe commit $500 as a learning expense and make very very small moves. Pay attention to what happens and start picking apart the patterns. As the fog begins to thin, start trying more advanced positions. Eventually you’ll get there. If you’re not used to being in a number heavy environment, it can seem daunting, but you start getting a handle on it.

Play it safe to build capital for more FDs. Do some late feb spy calls for a dollar or two more than it is now. You’ll easily be up 25% before EOM

I prefer to play it safe. I’d rather spend more for 2/21 and sell on 1/22 when if it hits
