nowadays people are swayed by random FUD articles and by targeted advertising, designed to reach most susceptible people. In an age where people can be involved in anything people sure do feel like they have less purpose than ever. Probably why they dive head first into conflicts they have no clue about or even bother fact checking first. All emotion no logic.

Stop watching TV and take control of what you do online, or get off it yesterday. No one can resist the sophistication of internet social prestige.

Its capitalism. It takes over everything and commercializes it, so normal people move to the new thing, and then companies latch onto the new thing and ruin it. Remember how awesome the internet was when it was first starting?

@@ThePizzaGoblin couldn't agree more

Shhh dont spread it or the fbi will be at your front door

It's scary not interesting to be honest.

Basically ARG

Not only did it not attempt to convince the audience it was real (most of the broadcast was done in traditional radio play format, the news parts are only one section) but literally nobody at the time actually thought it was real. That’s a fabrication by historians who wanted to paint people in the past as easily manipulated and afraid of new technology. Same goes for the film of a train arriving at a station. There are ZERO contemporary reports of anybody being even remotely scared by the film, but as history moved on, things were exaggerated to a point where people were screaming and yelling in the theater thinking an actual train was coming.

@Potato King To be fair, they wouldn't really have to make things up. There have been plenty of crazy internet hoaxes, and enough people have been falsely "cancelled" that an incident like this could easily occur and nobody would be surprised.

CNN in a nutshell

@@----.__ cap

I didn’t even know there was still money in that industry! sounds fun!

It’s why they also still do audio books. Some actually put out sound effects, music, and multiple actors reading the audio books for you. Anything lucrative will gain momentum. However, Mr Welles is someone who sees the future & it’s social aspects. Which reflects on what is actually really going on NOW in our “social media” news, and it’s created such biased distrust like no other. Cuz why? Money. And Controlled thru FEAR. Our Emotions is what is always being manipulated for another persons gain.

There were a couple movies in the 80s that tried to bring it back (to an extent)

@@keikialanifrazee8892 Part of the reason this radio play was so effective is because it was broadcast by a huge, very popular radio station, and when people tuned to it too late, they weren't be able to tell it was fiction. With audio books, you can choose when to start, and you know coming in that you're listening to a work of fiction. It's not as immersive as a broadcast from a station that also has its own news station. Seriously, that radio play was like if some real, big news station decided to upload analogue (or digital, if that's becoming a new trend) horror videos to the exact same RU-vid channel they also use for real news.

I would recommend trying to give some ARG (alternate reality games) projects a chance (which is, granted, much easier said than done due to their curious nature or not identifying themselves) but yeah, it seems to me to be the modern adaptation of this "con artist" broadcasting perspective. Never quite know the whole truth. I can find some cool rabbit holes to dive down if ur interested

I dont doubt it, don't *really* care to find out tho.

It was. You can look it up and it's right there

Thank you. There was NO mass hysteria. Most people understood that it was just fictional entertainment. The "Mass Hysteria" myth keeps being propagated and people keep believing it.

Go away! You aren't memory holing this one SHILL! YES, there was MAJOR PANIC! YES. We all know a close relative that was alive during the broad cast. NO. You are NOT going to be successful.

@@brentfarvors192 I have a family member that lived through it too. Go on the wiki for the incident and read the extent portion. Some people panicked but it was a very very small amount. The news stations used it to make the radio news to look less trustful, so they lied about the panic.

Orson Welles later exaggerated the incident himself, mostly as a way to promote his career through sensationalism.

@@SpookeyGael Thank you, so many people here repeating the story as if it establishes some kind of psychological fact about people's imaginations.

Yeah, it's pretty well known that the stories about the mass panic surrounding this broadcast were _extremely_ exaggerated. It's like when Blair Witch came out, even though they were 100% serious about it being real found footage, everyone knew that it was just three actors running around a forest.

@@SpookeyGael promote the show, which was up against charlie mccarthy i dont believe mercury radio theater ever had a sponsor...despite the high quality of it's broadcasts

@@dungeonsanddobbers2683 Ahhhhh...No they didn't . Many people were unsure if it was real or not. Seems people still don't give all the facts, make shit up as they go or under-report.

Crazier to think we went from mozart to billy eilish

Wait

Yep, that quote itself really drives it home: "Anything that came out of the new machine was believed". That is exactly what happens with misinformation on the internet now - people have always been people, the type of technology is just different now.

I stream a lot of old time radio. The PSAs from in the immediate aftermath of WW2 and the spread of communism are particularly interesting and still relevant. The need to protect our school curriculum and children from outside influence, our institutions from outside influence, our family structure, our faith support systems that give so much strength to our communities, etc. The playbook of our adversary was not a new one. Our grandparents knew what was coming. And here we are.

If you thought the broadcast scare was real, then you clearly didn’t know anything about the broadcast, and neither does disrupt.

Sadly the Oligarchs own media, the control is almost total.

I don't know a single person who watches corporate media anymore. The white pill is real. It's easier than ever to introduce someone to alternative media that will show then how the sausage is made, and why. They'll likely push back. They might not even talk to you for awhile, if ever again. It can take years to fully step out of the bubble. Plenty never will, unfortunately. But the ride is turning in a major way and it scares the shit out of all the right people. The increasing authoritarianism shows their weakness.

Melty heat ray laser goes pew pew.

another thing Im not even sure that scientist was a word yet, wasn't it still Experimental Philosopher or what ever?

@@davidbanan. i'm not really sure, but evidence shows that the word was born in cambridge in the early 1800's to replace concepts such as "philosopher of sicence", "cultivator of sicence", and similars. There's a dude who made official use of the word at that time, don't remember the name. But, i don't know if the word "scientist" was used regularly in daily talk in the early 1900's. Maybe an expert will show up and explain it to us xd

I also remember this

It's rather commonly accepted today that the supposed mass panic was grossly exaggerated by newspapers, who were at the time in a furious competition with radio. So it is rather ironic that modern internet users will mock their predecessors for so easily falling for fake stories, all the while falling for one themselves.

There was absolutely no panic at all.

@@theFLCLguy safe and effective™

​@@theLV2 Was thinkin the same thing. That it's ironic that most people will believe this vid without even questioning it as everybody's heard the story/ myth and most believe it to be true already. Hell I used to think was true that there's was mass hysteria until I learned it was actually all blown way out of proportion and as you say, was greatly exaggerated. I wonder if Disrupt did it on purpose or he's just unknowingly perpetuating the same old bs story 🤷‍♂

Perhaps not. But do you find its message valuable and relevant today? I won’t use any specific political example as I feel its divisiveness distracts from the message, because both the left and the right are egregiously and blatantly guilty of narratives that favor their interests. The media has always lied to us, there is no denying it. The important thing to ask yourself is, who is speaking to you, and what do they want? I can’t break it down any simpler then that.

@@bansheeownz It being relevant I can agree with, I didn't think about that aspect. But all the retellings feel like it ends with "Look how silly these people were for believing a story on the radio. And nobody believed a lie on the radio ever again, because the radio is more careful now" I think a nicer message would be to put examples in on how this probably made radio, and media in general, more sneaky to the way they tell "their truth", whatever it might be

BS. Stop trying to change the past. We all have relatives. We know there was major panic. Seriously, just STOP!
