I click the video thinking is it real, but 2 minutes was enough to doubt and go down to the comment section to check WTF IS GOING ON WITH PHIA AND WHY ZUCK PAID HER
the clever thing is also that this way, with upside down logic and irony, she can actually put out full-blast critique while still having the video monetized and not censored by youtubes no-tinfoilhat-policies. Actually people who want to make critical videos should maybe adopt this, just state everything in reverse.
I watched the whole video. I didn't check the time it was uploaded. I thought Phia was abducted by Zucc and experimented on, via microwave lenghts on her brain. I came to the comments to assemble an army to rescue Phia.... Thank god it was an april fools joke.
I'm personally looking forward to having every action I take commodified and monetized! We're already half way there, the metaverse will hopefully seal the deal! All hail Daddy Zuck!
Great video Phia! I'm posting my social security number publicly on Facebook now and setting up a 24/7 stream of all my security cameras for everyone on FB to enjoy! Life is so much better without privacy! YAY!!! One ZuckerLove!
lol. i just wrote basically a half page essay before i continued to watch the video an asked myself "is this a parody?" and checked the publish date^^ got me there.
i could never say a single word of this as a joke and yet you say this without the most IMMENSELY impressive confidence, and it scares me. very funny video
Y'now, at first this feels like a silly april fools joke, but thinking about it I'd expect to see a mascot saying this exact stuff on screens everywhere on the street in a distopian future
4:56 if she's actually shaking here, then she's been shaking all throughout this video.. I thought it was just her tracking being shaky. Are you okay Phia? Are you eating well? Take care of yoself plz!
You had me quite concerned that my quest 2 was going to start exerting mind control capabilities, until I noticed it was a April 1st posting. On the good side, how do you add all those fabulous facial expressions? Does that all come in post-production? That is really impressive.
I am so glad I made it to the end of the video. As a new Patreon subscriber who just found the video late, I have to admit you got me pretty good. I almost hit the panic button. I need to pay more attention to the dates, and not just trust the algorithm 😂
i have an embarrassing story where i had just got vr and i was playing hours at a time (ik thats not good to do when you jsut get it but hey) and once i took it off and put it down i still thought it was on like i kept grabbing my face like "why cant i take it off ? why isnt it coming off ?" and i was just havng an actual mental breakdown bc of it but in the end my eyes and brain were just readjusting so to people who are gonna get a vr DONT PLAY FOR HOURS AT ONCE WHEN YOU FIRST GET IT !!! and DO NOT go down the stairs if you get dizzy from vr ! and just please if you get nauseous just take a break and go back your brain hasnt been in a headset and its confused just dont please ;-;
Its not really related but wanted to comment on the most recent video in hopes it might get seen. But a full budget vr build or builds would be cool. Could you do anything for 100 or less? How about 200, etc. It might help people find a set up that works within their budget and illuminate people on options or alternatives they may not know about.
I stopped the video at 3:47 until I realised that this got uploaded on the first of April. I legit tried 3 minutes and 47 seconds to hear your "opinion" out in a serious manner. God, I am so bad at reading jokes xD
believe it or not, having a youtube account dating back to 2006, the algorythm only ever gives me shit it knows I'd click on, but only if that stuff I click on was actually watched by people with similar tastes in shit. so for instance, I get videos which have less than 1000 views, alongside videos with 100,000 views, and mostly only recently released ones, about one or two months back is as far back as they go. Everyone on the internet that hates the algorythm have all had an experience that is COMPLETELY different from myself, to the point that although I can easily imagine it, it doesn't actually affect me WHATSOEVER. I won't say I love it, because that is beside the point I'm trying to make, I'm actually saying that other than a channel (which I am now subscribed to called asionmetry) recently everything has been in my ball park. so yeah. I've had no issues. I actually forgot the health and beauty side of youtube even existed. I didn't get any girls doing yoga. no korean stuff. nothing sports related.... just tech, vtubers, gaming, and podcasts and history lessons. I've basically 'trained' the algo to not bother sending me stuff I won't click on. I seem to recall in 2012 ish, I may have gone into my google account settings to alter what gets advertised to me through google ads. but that is ads related and not youtube home page stuff specifically. I also subscribed to a shit ton of gaming related, tech related content.
Callum Upton, a RU-vidr from the UK that I've followed since he started posting videos last year, released a video about a month ago regarding a leaked slideshow presentation from a conference that the company held mere days prior. Some of the specific investor names were blacked out for obvious reasons, but the essential takeaway from the presentation was that the focus of Meta's involvement in the "metaverse" would truly be for business first, entertainment second. A lot of the brands they seem to be catering to in that regard are already ridiculously wealthy and popular as well, not small, local businesses that deserve the benefits way more than one near the size range of Gucci (just an example). Link to the video below, love your vids, Phia! Also, what the heck with that video removed bit? lol ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8OqcMtLnivg.html
Hitting the nail on the head. We cant have the big companies like Facebook and Google anywhere near potentially vital infrastructure like this, and we cannot have them dicating where we as a community go with VR. Also glad to hear i am not the only person getting strange things from being in VR. Is there more people like that out there?
in my opinion, i actually like where facebook (meta) is going. sure, they collect tons of data, but look at the apps on your iPhone, android, or Samsung. those collect lots of data, and use it for the better! Your windows, mac, or linux device also collects data, anything that has adverts and the internet browser collects data. (Happy april fools though!)
Aprils Fool maybe, but you got some valid points there. The real trick will be getting FB to create the Metaverse for us with all their money and then taking it from them and doing what we want with it. Like a rooted Quest 2 ;)
only thing i hate about Zuk is that he changed the icon Oculus i got so sad i saw the Oculus Symbol for the last time before updating it and then i had to see the dreaded Meta symbol UUUGGGHHH and then i played Vrchat the rest of the dat really sad.
You know...... **some** easily influenced dolt is only gonna watch to the 5 minute mark and walk away thinking "Phia's right, we should all bow to our corporate overlords!" Good video though, strikes an interesting blend of funny and horrifying.^^
