Personally I dont even view RU-vid as social media even though it is. To me its just modern TV. I would say this is probably one of the reasons its more trusted
It's probably because you almost always have to choose what to watch on YT. So you actively self-select stuff you are interested in, or agree with. With Tiktok or Insta, everything is served to you via a feed, and that's how you consume most of the content.
@@awijaya2116I was thinking about that the other day thinking about how "TV" doesn't really exist anymore with livestreaming and RU-vid and even going to the movies, you have to pick what you want to watch, so I was relating this with someone a little bit younger how cable/TV doesn't exist anymore. You however changed my mind because that's Tiktok now.
I also think its because most people don't have a YT channel where they post often and their real life friends follow them, like they do on Instagram or Snapchat.
Personally, if there isn’t a way to comment on someone’s profile or send them a message directly, I don’t consider it “social media”. Like, it is literally media that is social, but it’s not a myspace or a twitter or a facebook where social interaction is the primary purpose of the site.
I feel like companies put a lot of effort into making these lawsuits seem frivolous. False advertising is false advertising. The company should be penalized to set a precedent. The lady getting 5 mil is just a side bonus.
Tysm Atrioc, these nice chatting sections are the perfect length for my drive home from the gym, and they’re always uploaded just as I leave. Just wanted to let you know I super appreciate it and love these videos ❤
Interestingly, the Chinese game crackdown also bans any payment platform from supporting any monetary transaction for "illegal internet games". In the context of Chinese regulation, "illegal" means games not actively approved by the state (they have an ISBN-equivalent code to keep track), and "internet" refers to any internet usage during the operations AND/OR distribution. All games distributed by platforms like STEAM will be targeted by the crackdown, which was essentially a grey area before.
I used to be addicted to online poker. The catch was that I was almost always winning and have never been in the red. That doesn't mean it wasn't an addiction though. I quit years ago and still up around $20k. On one hand I miss it but online poker has been kinda ruined anyway in the last like 8 years.
im surprised that big A have never encountered all of this before. This format of livestream has existed for a very long time and is very prevalent in china, to which i presumed that is where it originated. Most livestreamer in china tiktok is under this category, which is considered a PK streamer. This is the most effective way to get the users to send gift, due to the pressure of the streamer that they are watching losing or getting punished. In this format of streaming, most smaller streamers survive with all the gifts people send while pking with most of the time all of it coming from one whale or multiple whales that is romantically interested in the streamer, and the supporter will feel like they will lose their chance to get together with the streamer if they stop supporting them one day. While the bigger streamers that does this have some bigger players, a CEO of the company in some instance, supporting them for advertisement and clout, some of the users will get a shoutout by the streamer to get mass followed by all the viewers of the stream, with the big streamers having at least 100k viewers at any point of the time (100k is the max viewers displayed in china TikTok, some big streamers can go until 1 million viewers as livestreaming is very big in china with everyone using it to entertainment and shopping). In china, their pk streams is very entertaining with the punishment being as simple as drawing a word on their body or dancing at times, or extreme to the point where they can sometimes bet on their livelihood with the person that lose quitting livestreaming or booking a flight to another state in china to go to some mountain to shout they are a loser or something like that. Some users in tiktok try to replicate their success but livestreaming is not as prevalent in a global scale but there are always clips of big pk floating around in tiktok where people spend millions of dollars in a match for their own ego, which is also not rare in china but it died down a little as people in china have been watching livestreams for over a decade and most people get bored of all the repetitive content (pk is almost always the same with everyone asking their supporter to send gift, with the only difference being the punishment). There are even streams with like 2-4 or more guys/girls in the stream where the users can send gifts to get one of the guy or girl to come up front and dance and sometimes they also transit into a similar pk format where people can send to support 1 of the guy or girl in the stream to win and the loser have to do a punishment, and they track all the gifts that is donated specifically to each person and the org or boss will draw a percentage before splitting it to all the guys and girls that appeared on the stream.
There are alot of different streaming platforms and on some platforms there exist gifts where users are legit gambling, like blind box where people send blind box with a chance to get back a gift with a value higher than what they spent, or a rebate gift, like a gift worth like 5 bucks with the streamer getting 1 buck but they might get back 25 bucks worth of currency.
@@aikentangyou would rather be behind than ahead in this case, because its just a few people siphoning the money and time of many other people, with the streaming platform earning at least 50% of the streamers total earning. Its considered a different format from twitch where most streamers have to talk to their whales offline consistently to ensure a stable stream of income. Some even resort to trading their adult content for those gifts on stream.
thank goodness you said something, it was probably just an accident. after all, we all know that if you upload something that happened more than 12hrs ago it’s not even worth fuckin watching
Omg when he mentioned the leather chair TikTok owner I immediately thought of that episode of DrawnTogether with the fat critic chick with dyed hair! lol this shit was great
having zero empathy for people that spend thousands of dollars is definitely not a thought-terminating behavioural pattern that you will have to fix eventually keep that rocking, you're totally golden if you think that way don't worry about it it *WON'T* cause any problems
I don’t view RU-vid as a social media because it’s not based and centred on interaction with the other users. It’s more like a content diffusing platform to me. I don’t especially trust RU-vid as a platform, but I trust the content I watch on it.
@@tcrvo01 yeah bro that's exactly what goes through the mind of an addict, they are very clear minded when they gamble yep you are definitely in the same situation as those people
Why you assume i wasn't ans addicte lol? I said i was in the same position. But you still need to take responsibility for your action and not blame the whole world. If they are kids yeah it's fucked up but as an adult that just cope@@PeidosFTW
I don't know what, but i feel more sympathetic towards a gambling addict than a "duals" addict, there's just something about them that gives off the feeling of utter contempt
The duel addicts are like those people who donate tons of money to streamers because they are parasocial, but without having the parasocial connection to the "duels" creator
Because we have a heavier cultural bias against emotional desperation than financial desperation would be my guess. I’d wager a significnatly higher percentage of the population has experienced hard times financially than being utterly alone in the world for extended periods of time even post-covid, too, and that naturally makes the path to empathy a lot easier to follow.
In cod mobile, skins are literally pay to win so it’s not people beating you just to look cool they also beat your ass because they’re using the latest meta weapons with built in red dot sights or better iron sights to have a tactical advantage.
I accidentally clicked on this video with 2x speed on and just ran with it. I thought the editor was making some kind of joke about tiktok brainrot and shortened attention spans but I guess I’m just dumb
Taking advantage of gambling addicts is no different from pushing opioids. You're ruining lives, but the people who do it make so much that they can make it legal.
the chatter who said they have no empathy for those people is why I don’t fuck with twitch lol. just way too many teenage boys with no life experience & it makes me big sadge
At a certain point you have to have enough self awareness to realize that spending $25k on stream donations is a bad idea. It would be like someone expecting you to feel bad for them when they intentionally burn their house down.
Speaking of gambling, there’s a new game called Balatro coming out tomorrow. It’s poker with a twist. The demo is out right now, and I’d thoroughly recommend the game.
