Showing Off Our Cool Stuff To Other Dimensions 

It was super easy

Barely an inconvenience

Oh really?

That is the genius of Ryan George. The only thing missing was wasp Ryan saying, "but why???" Then it pans to Producer Ryan at another table saying, "because money!"

Yesss

So you've got an alternate dimension series for me?

Wauw! I hadn't seen it that way. Cool!

"if you swat them they release a pheromone that makes the others more violent"

Very good

Does it go deeper? When we acknowledge that most wasp species get a bad rap and that most of their viciousness is basically heresay, is there a deeper point being played out?

@@lukedogwalker If, to go deeper, "WE" must acknowledge that sentiment--then, no. It doesn't lol. My experiences with wasps haven't been the sort that allow me to refer to them as gracious creatures, if disturbed. But that's just my humble opinion :)

Become a politician and you can tell them it's not wasps. And when they eventually get stung you can say it wasn't you who gave them the wasps and say it was someone who worked for you but they've been disciplined and fired and it's terrible that they did that (while pocketing money from pest control)

You don't just "give" them wasps. Those are samples.

@@FeniksGaming oh no but I liked the stuff it was showing me before

Yeah I agree with what you've said because people like me are smart and good so you must be good too so praising you is like praising myself!

Everyone else’s opinions are spoonfed to them in bad faith, mine are based on objective and systematic research. I don’t understand how they don’t see it and just take my word for how they should be conducting themselves. We should form some kind of club where we share our logical and rational thoughts with each other and bemoan the benighted state of society outside of our club.

People who aren't like us base their thoughts off their petty emotions, but people like us are high minded and honest, and one of you said something that im now convinced I always thought also

The whole line of thought reminds me of the song scapegoat by atmosphere or this quote by Terry pratchett "It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things"

It's silly to think other dimensions would be interested in wasps or think they are cool. I know this because I'm flooded with so much information in a day that I can formulate an opinion just by reading the title and watching 30 seconds of the video before commenting and moving on. They really should just make all video 30 seconds long to really nail that sweet spot of focus and interest.

Agreed!

True. Gotta watch out for those wasps

That’s a bit much

Wouldn't they be using the internet by watching this video? There's no escape...

Or the desire for profit.

Hm, I wouldn't say _every_ algorithm has a bias, but it is obvious that at least _some_ people want to use them to spread their views on the world. Look at the censorship system on social apps. In theory, this is to avoid people from insulting each other and using bad language. But in practice, the guys writing those systems can add whatever they want. Ever heard of that pedophile's daughter working at Reddit? She had worked on the "blacklist" of Reddit to erase anything surrounding her father, to bury his dark secret. *That was no accident, she had purposefully used the censorship system of Reddit to hide something.* Now that's just a random person in the world trying to help her father's reputation. Do you really think politicians and activists don't want to use those systems to push their agendas?

Why not both at the same time? Never let a crisis go to waste, and if you can notice one brewing and make it worse, all the better.

It's mostly apathy. If you're interested in learning more about how exactly it all came about I highly recommend the documentary The Social Dilemma, I watched it on Netflix, idk what else it's available on

I think most people realize that it's about the ideological groups not being as well defined as is implied by social media, and that a system that prioritizes engagement but doesn't consider what kind of engagement it is might yield results that weren't directly intended.

No you re wrong.

Because it is

Haa! If they still made those "For Dummies" books, this would have been the first chapter of Electronic Social Media "For Dummies" 😆👍

@@Ellipsis115 I think what he's saying is that indulging in social media is like taking free samples of wasps. It's super unhealthy and "if you swat one it releases a pheromone that makes the others more violent". So you engage with a bad story, and it influences the algorithm to give you more bad stories. The moral of the story being: gorging yourself on negative stories on social media is like swatting at a wasp. Doing it only attracts even more.

uBlock Origin keeps me safe and protected like a warm blanket!!!

That is not unfortunate at all, that is on purpose. RU-vid will match advertisers to videos containing the tags the advertiser wants to be associated with. That is for example why you will always get Monsanto ads on anything critical of Monsanto, cause they decided they want to create a counter narrative right where they are criticised and youtube provides them with the infrastructure to do that. By the same logic someone selling alcohol might anticipate to make the bigger profit, if they get 20 alcoholics to relapse as opposed to getting 20 random people interested in their product. Sometimes the ads don't land perfectly, like with that pest control ad, but often the choices are made very deliberately, like with that RV. Worried your RV will blow up? Better buy a new one.

@@RoyalBlueJay free wasps by the handful.. i like his style too.

@@lebensraummetal every handful comes with at least 1 free Queen

yeah yeah yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah! Turns out people now do something called hate watching, which is where they spend their time watching something they hate, increasing that video's ad revenue and driving engagement up by commenting how the video wasted their time. But didn't they just chose to waste their own time? It's not like someone forced them to click the video. Yes, of course, but admitting that you did anything wrong is sooo 20th century. They will get mad at the video and spend more time watching other videos like it. Don't they understand that the channel that uploaded the video profits of that? I mean it's very easy to look that fact up. Looking things up? Sir, it's 2021, no one even knows what that means anymore. Get with the time and get angry when you don't understand something!

​@@creativedesignation7880 It's not always hate-watching though. Every negative story a news outlet shows is designed to attract you attention and often invoke an emotion of anger, fear, etc. that makes you more likely to make the viewer or reader continue being fed this stuff. Hate-watching is completely separate from this topic as hate-watching is not some news covering the thing you hate it's just the content. Hate-watching is if a Democrat was to watch a Trump rally which isn't a common thing for someone to do whats more likely is a Democrat will watch a CNN bit that invokes anger in them about said Trump rally.

I would like your comment but it has 240 likes and I'm not going to be the guy that ruins that number

@kevin 😂

For most of us this is at least somewhat true. Whether your belief originates in religion, philosophy, childhood trauma or just common sense, the majority of us believe killing innocent people is wrong and something we would never do, as is abusing the weak or stealing from the destitute. By definition therefore, those who do these things have a different belief regardless what group they claim to belong to.

@@adamrobinson6951 I think its ok to kill an innocent if it means saving more innocents, assuming you aren't killing children to do this. And even then, killing one 3 year old to save the lives of two 3 year olds, all of which are innocent, and happy, is a good idea aside from it being illegal.

can you explain the joke please? I didn't got it

@@idonoy661 radical is slang for cool, but echo chambers and extreme political groups often produce “radicals” meaning people with extreme and often revolutionary or dangerous ideas

An echo chamber is just a group of people with the same views talking to eachother. So what you say is only what you hear. Thus an "echo". A radical is someone that breaks from the norm and goes "radical". So the echo chamber saying that it gets radical over here is just ironicle.

@@Boatsidebbq Good point, but can't an echo chamber make a true radical? They only reinforce your existing opinions, sure, but what if you have a very unpopular opinion that gets reinforced because now the "whole world" agrees with you?

@@aristideslourdas8478 The point is that by reinforcing your views on things it can drive you so far down a particular mindset that you tune out all rational thoughts other than the ones you've already had reinforced. Thus potentially turning you into a radical.

Murder lives forever and so does war. 🎶

Said everyone on Fakebook, Twitter, and RU-vid. Except us, of course, we are not like them, we actually engage with like-minded individuals who were exposed to the exact same content that the algorithm recommended to us.

Spelling didn't make the list.

Elegant and clever maybe, but this sketch couldn't get any less subtle. I think the strength of the sketch is more from the fact that it is rather dry and unbiased explanation of social media radicalization. It strays away from examples that would alienate audiences that have unknowingly fallen into echo chambers, the exact people that really need a reminder of this sort of thing.

If this passes as subtlety these days, then I guess a pack of elephants stampeding through a store selling antique fine china is the peak of subtlety.

@@Banazama but the algorithm part wasn’t directly referencing radicalized groups it was referencing the concept of Facebook and Twitter social circles becoming echo chambers of agreeing or applauding the ego because you get into groups of similar thought. This happens to pretty much every group not just flat earthers. Left, Right, Authoritarian, or libertarian, the whole political compass is the precursor to tribe mentality around political ideology that the algorithm and social media has helped flat earthers and pig fuckers to find communities to help justify their actions or thoughts.
