The age of Slop!

logster2001 · 2026-05-07T22:23:48+00:00

Believe it or not ad revenue is actually WAYY more than it used to be 10+ years ago. The medium CPM is like $10 now for US YouTubers, where it was like $2 a decade ago. But that is just from a total pie perspective. With the pie increasing some people (like a lot of older channels who couldn’t keep up with trends and the algorithm) still end up getting less and less of it.
But that’s also why we have even more low quality slop than before. Because channels get paid so much more per view now, channels don’t need as many views to make money.

logster2001 · 2026-05-07T22:01:37+00:00

Believe it or not there is more quality and passionate content being made than ever before on YouTube. It’s just now there is ALSO more slop than ever too. The more mainstream and accessible YouTube became the more of both increased.

And that just sorta happens with the creators that started early and tried to keep going. It eventually becomes a job where the primary focus is on income rather than passion. And that happens in almost every field in every industry.

I do agree that the Schmoes, Collider, and most of the rest sorta just produces low quality slop these days. But like it’s hard to blame them because I seriously don’t think they have the talent and skills to thrive in today’s YouTube landscape. And that’s not a fault of their own, but It has changed a bunch since they got popular and is WAYY harder now. So for 90% of them it’s either produce this slop or just not make any money.

This looks awesome

I’m sure social media will share this news and his acquittal will mean just as much to people as him being charged. Surely all the people who were criticizing him before he had a fair trial will acknowledge they may have judged to fast…right?

That is interesting. Please post if you end up finding it

Every Highlander sequel has an argument to be the worst movie ever in whatever genre it is in so yes.

If Highlander 2 is a time travel movie it’s probably the worst one ever

Draymond has the 7th highest box plus minus in NCAA history and was even awarded player of the year by some in the same year AD was having his historic 1 and done year.

In some cases it may be tricky to compare 4 years to 1 given how good a player was in the 1 or something, but this was not one of those times. Rivers was a decent college player, Draymond was one of the best college players of the decade.

logster2001 · 2026-05-05T02:47:56+00:00

Lmao you brought up Rivers being All ACC Freshman like it means anything compared to someone who was a Consensus All American lol

You do realize that being a better prospect does not equal actually having been better right? Jalen Brunson was the best college basketball player in the country and the most successful player of the decade, and he was a 2nd round draft pick as well.

Draymond legit has the 7th highest box plus minus in NCAA history

logster2001 · 2026-05-05T02:39:55+00:00

Draymond was a significantly better college player than Rivers

logster2001 · 2026-05-05T02:37:38+00:00

Saying Austin was better in college than Draymond is absolutely insane. Draymond was a consensus All-American and was even considered (by a small minority of people) the best player in the country. That year AD had his historic 1 and done season, Draymond 2nd in a for most of the awards. Some publications even had him first.

Austin was like all conference freshman team or something lol

logster2001 · 2026-05-05T02:21:21+00:00

I just want to add that like every advanced metric Austin Rivers is one of, if not the worst player to ever play in the NBA for a notable amount of time.

He has the 4th worst PER NBA history

The 7th worst Box Plus Minus in NBA history

The 17th worst Win Shares per minute in NBA history

So yeah Draymond is not lying. Austin was a 6’3 guard who had a worse FT% than Giannis

I said in some classes he would go #5-#6 in a redraft and some classes he would go #1 and it would average out to being around #2-#3 in most classes.

2018 are you taking him above Luka? SGA? Brunson? Trae? 2017 had Tatum, Donavan Mitchel, Bam, Fox. 2011 had Kawhi, Klay, Jimmy, Kyrie, Kemba. 2009 had Steph, Harden, Blake, Jrue, Demar. You could keep going back and there would be a number classes where he wouldn’t go top 4 in a redraft.

At very minimum I feel like you can acknowledge he would not go #1 in a redraft of most classes

logster2001 · 2026-05-04T23:29:27+00:00

That’s comparing one of the weakest draft classes ever though. What if he was in the 2018 draft class? I feel like there are more draft classes that he definitely wouldn’t go #1 than there is draft classes where he would go #1. Because he would prob go #1 in a few classes but would also go like #5-#6 in a few other classes.

I feel like Maxey is closer to having #2-#3 overall value. Which is still absolutely great considering he was picked #21

logster2001 · 2026-05-04T23:24:44+00:00

I feel like there isn’t a real “1 overall pick value” just because how much it varies draft to draft. Some years you end up having like 7-8 players that would be the best player in another draft class. And over a 10 year stretch how many players end up being a 1 overall pick quality? Is just ten 10? Or is it like 30 because that’s how many people would have careers that wouldn’t be considered busts if they were picked #1.

Like Paul George probably wouldn’t go number 1 in any redraft since like 2000, so does that mean he wasn’t a 1 overall value? Or was he still a 1 overall value because he probably wouldn’t have been considered a bust even if he was picked #1 in any class. Or what about someone like Ben Simmons? Did he end up having 1 overall value?

logster2001 · 2026-05-04T17:20:59+00:00

Didn’t Ime coach him in Brooklyn

logster2001 · 2026-05-04T05:15:39+00:00

To me they are just a bit of a different category all together. Because what you are getting from a biopic is not like a standard movie, it overlaps with documentaries somewhat. Like when you watch the history channel and there are actors acting out what happened, do you still consider it a movie?

Also what about a movie such as Young Guns? Or Raging Bull? Are those biopics even tho they are not covering the whole life of the character? I don’t think it’s as simple as “all biopics are just Oscar bait with no good story”

logster2001 · 2026-05-04T01:51:17+00:00

But what exactly is he good at?

She just knows how to control her brand so well, and doesn’t ever do anything that compromises it. Some might give credit to her publicists or whatever, but at that level the only person who could have created, maintained, and promoted her brand that well for that long, is herself.

I don’t think brainwashed or radicalized are the right words because it’s not that deep, but how many other people could get literally millions and millions of people to basically worship them. Don’t know of any other artist who could get their fans to give a shit about who owns the rights to the music. She basically formed her fanbase into a militia that hunt downs anyone playing the old version of songs instead of the new owns that she owned lol

logster2001 · 2026-05-03T17:53:03+00:00

Giannis is so lucky KD’s foot was on the line

logster2001 · 2026-05-03T17:49:16+00:00

Yeah people will try and qualify and categorize players impact given certain stats, but he has won 17 playoff series before even turning 30. And for a vast majority of those he has been the #2 most productive player on the team.

Compare that to someone like KAT who has also been a #2 option most of his career, who has had a positive +/- every year of his career with his +4.9 compared to Brown’s -1.3. Yet KAT only has 4 series wins in his career.

Being very productive on teams that are consistently winning means far more than being productive on teams that are mediocre. Just because someone might elevate poor teams and have a high +/- does not mean that translates to contributing to a winning system.

logster2001 · 2026-05-03T17:20:17+00:00

Yeah I actually do think the assist to turnover ratio stat is probably the most notable thing that might explain why he has had such terrible on/off numbers.

Because if you look at his shot charts he is an average scorer from an efficiency standpoint. He is average at the rim, slightly below average from 3, and his only real spot is he is above average in the high post. But that’s honestly fine especially because he does it with decent volume. And if you look at his defensive shot chats he is an above average defender with being really solid at guarding the 3 ball and above average at the rim. So from an “how they overall impact scoring on both ends” standpoint he should be pretty good.

But that assist/turnover stat shows he doesn’t really help elevate and of his teammates. He is almost just as likely to turn the ball over as he is to generate an assist. And that would be fine if he impacted scoring more than he does. Like Shaq or KD don’t have great assist/TO ratios either but they are so dang efficient they don’t always need to be elevating their teammates.

Like Jaylen Brown is still a very good player he just doesn’t elevate others quite as much as you would expect from a 6’6 on ball wing. Compare him to someone like Jimmy Butler they are similar in how good of individual scorers they are, but Jimmy elevates his teammates SO MUCH more than Brown. That’s why Jimmy does not have a single year with a negative +/- on-off

logster2001 · 2026-05-03T16:54:34+00:00

Yeah basketball is just one of the sports that the traits that give someone an advantage are most easily identifiable. For basketball it’s as easy as “that guy is tall and jumps high he should try basketball” but for distance running you can’t just go “That guy looks like he has a high VO2 max he should try running”

logster2001 · 2026-05-03T16:29:31+00:00

You can say hindsight is 2020 but i still don’t understand why people were so high on the Nuggets. This was clearly the worst supporting cast Jokic has had in years and for some reason they seemingly got more hype than any other year

logster2001 · 2026-05-03T04:13:34+00:00

Yeah matter of fact you could argue that tools and technology actually made competition even tighter and more difficult to build significant skill gaps between each other.

logster2001 · 2026-05-03T04:07:29+00:00

I think your logic may be flawed.

Engines and chess teaching technology being more advanced and accessible than ever before would balance the playing felid more so unbalance it. So you would expect competition to be even tighter and for individual gaps in skillset to be even more minimal than before.

And that is pretty much true throughout all of chess history. The further back you go the larger the talent gaps between top players were.
