That is different then your claim that they were saying it was "bred" here, which IS NOT what was said at all. So this is just you trying to spin what was said into some way to discredit what they said. Stop that Walt, I know you don't believe it but no reason to try to discredit someone with false truths. People say plenty of outlandish things on this site, we call out the ones that are blatantly untrue and discuss the rest.
I don't think its unreasonable to think it has an impact, just like I don't think its unreasonable to think it doesn't have an impact, both sides should be expected and discussed. But the claim that Walt made is that these same posters claim it was "bred" here, and no one made such a claim ever, just that it has an impact. So old Walt here is spinning some yarns.
They probably watch that channel because it mirrors opinions they already believe though, a lot of those channels are great echo chamber examples, Nerdrotic is another good one. I watch both of them but that’s probably because I usually agree with their takes and I find their style of humor hilarious.
Indeed. Which is exactly what I mean
Correct
My opinion is that many people unfortunately let these channels make decisions for them based on "biased" information. And if they didn't exist many would give whatever it is a chance, and many would end up actually liking it or at the very least leave with a better understanding of something instead of forming an uninformed opinion about something they know nothing about.
Maybe so but as I’ve said before this stuff brainwashes decent people into becoming what a YouTuber known as the birdman calls parrots people who parrot gifter opinions I would highly recommend ceasing your viewing of those channels
I don’t know if they would change their opinions but I don’t need nor want them to this isn’t about defending Disney this is about a battle against misinformation and the worst of human traits
Um, I was deep involved in MANY of those discussions. I know how ugly it got, and how much the Mods had to clean up, thank you very much.I think you want the record to more kind than it is. It got quite ugly and inappropriate on some of these. And for once…it can’t be put on me
Sure, backtrack now. LMAO
Least of all you, so don't play like you are correct here because you aren't. No one claimed the Anti-Disney stuff was "bred" here, ever. And this is why I call out this crap, because you like to play gatekeeper.
It’s only misinformation if they’re lying though, they are giving personal opinions, they aren’t news channels, they aren’t factual channels, they are entertainment.
In the olden days before the internet became what is it now, people would actually have to form opinions for themselves based on actually becoming informed. It was only the uneducated that would form opinions based on others. Now unfortunately we become a world of the uninformed watching the latest 10 second clip thinking we're now informed.
The problem is too many take those personal opinions as factual news and form their opinions based on it. Long gone are the days when we had actual news forming opinions. All you have to do is look at the recent Mackie clip taken out of context as an example, it wasn't real news, it was all opinion based. And people form their opinion based on that, even if it was a misinformed opinion.
That’s actually not the case
I’m sure there’s some that take it as gospel but my guess is it’s a very small number, Critical Drinker had a pretty bad review last week of Capt4 but the movies doing great, reviews are positive, and it’s exceeding expectations… his review may keep a couple butts at home but I suspect his actual influence is tiny, the majority aren’t watching him for a factual review, they’re watching his channel to be entertained and get his snarky take.
And you assume these people watch other more well vetted sources besides the Tubers and TikTok's, and that is something that cannot be assumed.
I don't personally think Critical Drinker has an impact on many people, but that channel is just one of many. So that is not to say that the totality of social media doesn't have an impact, it does, there are far more people out there posting things similar to Critical Drinker than there are like Sean Chandler, and that doesn't even count all the people that clip things from those channels and share them on social media, ie its a cascading effect. So its not about one single channel, its about the thousands of others like them that spread the same opinion, and that is what people use to form their opinions. Again long gone are the days when in general people actually formed opinions for themselves and not based on some clip from social media, whether positive or negative.
Well I appreciate your opinion but from my perspective there are tons of people on YouTube who take him and other grifters seriously the people who do trust him to give an honest review of a film imo aren’t the best at critical thinking sidenote even if he was a perfectly normal YouTuber I still couldn’t watch him his voice sounds like nails on a chalkboard
You’re off the map.
You didn’t read/follow again…and wasted 10 minutes of your time responding to what you had cooked up in your head.
I'm not "off the map", if you think its having an effect on serious things but not on movies, I think you don't really understand how people actually consume things. They don't just all of a sudden stop paying attention to social media just because its about a movie, but then pay attention only when its something serious. Human don't work that way, sorry. And while some may be predisposed to not like something they found a similar opinion of on social media, the algorithms tend to work that way creating that echo chamber, prior to the internet most people would give a such a movie a chance before just outright saying no. So yes there is an impact, even if you don't believe it.
