If you missed it you should watch the new Folding Ideas video essay about MRBeast and Beast Games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0dwagg5wYY4

Stolen from Squeakitties on Tumblr, but the recent Folding Ideas Video on Mr. Beast didn't emphasize enough how strange it was that Mr. Beast had to ask 12 random YouTubers "How do you build Fandom?". Like, it marks a turning point in the narrative of the essay, it has a whole title card to itself, it's given significant spotlight, but nothing shows how HOLLOW Mr. Beast's media empire is more than the TVTropes page on Beast Games. This is the whole thing. 114 words. Not a single fan cared enough to add more than 114 words. That's about as many words as are in this post. No subpages either. Jimmy's creative output never evolved from counting to 100,000.

#DanOlson, of #FoldingIdeas, #contrepeneurs video is a great watch but also an excellent summary of the core of the techbros that currently run America. Mediocre leeches that lecture the world on being lazy while spending other people's effort and capital to enrich only themselves. People that couldn't pass a first year comms class because they didn't show up, then claiming college has nothing to teach.
Just the laziest, slimiest, wage-thieving leeches.

Pleased to find that #DanOlsen / #FoldingIdeas has released a new video and it's on #dinosaur #fossils ... and creationism and human gullibility.
Not as mind-expanding as his videos on flat-earthism, NFTs, the metaverse or GameStop, but still a fascinating watch that (yet again) shows how deeply all our misinformation-fuelled problems are grounded in human nature and US evangelical hotbeddery.

I watched the new Folding Ideas video on #AVGN and, I don't know, I guess this is interesting because it's very human.
I say it, and not him, because James, the person, probably has grown up. He seems to really enjoy being a Dad and I'm glad for him. I think that's mature.
It, however, is the type of thing that Bart Simpson would have nightmares about, stuck in the 4th grade at age 40 with his son Bart Junior.
I feel like right now, people my age, something weird is happening. There seems to be this want, to go back to being an edgy teenager again. Let's just call it growing pains, I guess.

Dan Olson - About that Idris Elba gold documentary

Dan Olsen's latest Folding Ideas video is bewildering and fascinating... it's a (long) video-essay on the internet subculture and lore that arose following the Gamestop pump-and-dump excitement in 2021.
Had to watch it in three sittings to fully internalise some of the nuances of the story and truly appreciate the depths these people have allowed themselves to be dragged.

TLDW of #FoldingIdeas' #Gamestock / #MemeStocks video https://youtu.be/5pYeoZaoWrA?t=8826 😔 "No one deserves" to:
1> be exploited like this
2> get shaken down [so] they have no other choice but to become #grifters themselves […]
3> have their ego and security ground down to the point that there’s no escape, no reason to step back and admit defeat, no reason to reflectEmpathy, sufficiency & community (#GameB #SolarPunk #TeamHuman) are antidotes to greed & despair of #VampireCapitalism! 🌞 vs. 🧛
