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.

I have never ever ever been able to get "into" MrBeast shit ever, it's always been so off-puting, and omg #FoldingIdeas strikes the nail on the head
-
Prior to today, I thought Mr Beast just made bad content for children. Thanks to Dan Olsen, I now know Mr Beast is bad at making bad content for children. Like really really bad at his actual literal job. I don't know why this was a surprise, now that I think about it.

Mr. Beast has always given me the ick with his shockingly plastic insincerity, seeming inability to smile with his eyes, and his legion of per-pubescent Internet trolls who believe you can buy moral standing after abusing and exploiting unaware vulnerable people for profit. But for all of these years, I've just thought the guy was a slimy, insufferable dick.
I really didn't fathom that he was also a ranging idiot, too.

CW: USPolitics, Folding Ideas.
God damn, Dan Olson never misses.
(And that run time is measured in minutes, not hours. Fooled the the first time I glanced at it)
-
#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.
-
Antiscience views are a symptom and a gateway for people puzzled by the modern world and by expanded perspectives.
I think more and more about Dan Olsen's truly excellent meditation on flat earthers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JTfhYyTuT44
"Their will is a hammer they are using to beat reality itself into a shape of their choosing, a simple world where reality is exactly what it looks like through their eyes ... They are trying to build a Flat Earth."

That feeling when your favourite YouTuber (that you're not married to) pushes out a new hour long video...
Dan at #FoldingIdeas makes wonderfully dense, thought-provoking, rambling, essay-style content.

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.
-
Watched #FoldingIdeas (Dan Olson's) video, This is Financial Advice on the #Gamestop Meme-stock community. Wow!
This piece, along with Dan's others on NFTs and flat-earth theorists, really show what a zero-evidence, post-truth world many in the population now inhabit.

Babe, wake up, new Folding Ideas video on capitalist propaganda just drops:
-
#FoldingIdeas' "I Can't Stop Watching #Contagion" is still my 🥇 zeitgeist summary of #CoVIDisnotOver & #CoVIDisAirborne https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsSzrVhdVuw So many truthbombs in there even after multiple years.
-
I finally made it through #ThisIsFinancialAdvice and it is the masterpice of storytelling we all expect from #FoldingIdeas
Watch it, if you have just the slightest interest in how the whole Gamestop thing actually never ended and people are still waiting for a short squeeze that will never happen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pYeoZaoWrA -
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. 🧛

Am all settled-in to watch the new 2.5 hour Dan Olsen video about the Memestocks trashfire, "This is Financial Advice".

#FoldingIdeas does it again...
This is a very detailed explanation that can be summed up as "If it looks too good to be truth, maybe it isn't".

Am I going to watch a 153 minute documentary about meme-stocks? I am if it is the new #FoldingIdeas video that dropped about 20 minutes ago.

That quote from Tim Sweeney was presented in one of the opening chapters of a long but entertaining web video called 'The Future is a Dead Mall':
https://piped.video/watch?v=EiZhdpLXZ8Q
Produced by Folding Ideas, it's a deconstruction of the VR hype cycle though the lens of "Metaverse" rhetoric. As a specific example, a crypto pump'n'dumper's online utopia called Decentraland.
More of this kind of video on #PeerTube please!

@gsymon Yes, a very interesting podcast (I listened to it last week).
Here also a video from Dan Olson of #FoldingIdeas about the Flat Earth movement gives a lot insights on how conspiracies work and how leverage on people's insecurities

@julieofthespirits Nah, just recently watched the Dan Olson #FoldingIdeas video essay on #Decentraland ("The Future Is A Dead Mall") and got blown away once again by how Libertarians/AnCaps see the world and envision utopia
