Undercover in an Insane Asylum: How a 23-Year-Old Changed Journalism 

whatever. Haha! That’s true 😭

whatever. That’s irony for you, for sure. 😆

Haven't watched the video yet, but I had to like your comment cause your grammar is on point.

@Blair Thomas yo das stoopid ! Hitler ‘twas grammatically sound

@@corbinhardy7294 That was a compliment actually

Or dissatisfied with your life or an inconvenience.

You sound hysterical. Nothing a bit of ice water therapy can’t fix.

Or independent.

Or be LGBTQ+

Yikes...

Bruh that was legit what I was thinking

No way would a good editor leave her in there. Too good a story to let disappear.

"So get this. I convinced this woman who wanted a job to have her self committed... What happened to her? Who cares!"

That's happened to more than one reporter before. They get themselves committed to investigate what's going on but then can not get out. The more you tell them your sane and the truth the crazier you sound. And if you get angry about you then you look crazy. Its sad.

+Justin Pipes Really? Who? Can you cite any of them? Because this is the only one I've ever heard of.

rfdub And her name was sometimes Pink. I bet P!NK would approve.

But you know that you aren’t, right?

Iceyard fan what’s the point of saying that? XD

@@MrWyzegy who tf said badasses are physically imposing? This is just YOUR opinion not law 😂

Wyzegy I am a badass, but I don’t need to be physically imposing. I have a brain that I actually use because I don’t resort to violence. On the same topic, Queen Elizabeth is a badass too. That means I like her.

You don't just tell someone to change their title wtf

JaNiE SuNdIaL well it's misleading.

@@chowder8802 he's right. Great video, but misleading title

If you want to learn about her experience read her report. It's called 10 day in a mad-house. It's a small book, about 100 pages long, I ordered it on Amazone. Totally worth reading if you're interested in such things, but I wouldn't recommend it if you can't stomach abuse especially when you know that it actually happend. When I read I automatically picture the scene in my head, so I personally couldn't read it in one go. Also Nellie Bly is a fucking queen, I loved her so much after reading it.

JaNiE SuNdIaL uh yes you do. It’s called constructive criticism and this is indeed a misleading title

She had a well-off man vouching for her. To Victorians, that's all you needed to get anywhere in life.

me too, but this was also very interesting. I'll be sure to read about the full asylum experience later though, i suggest you do the same.

i hated it all. i had to just listen to it in the background

@@theravenskeeper2849agreed

Yeah, I thought of Lana too

yes Lana Banana

I thought of the video game Outlast for some reason.

yeah, was she based on this story?

No

That would be China.

That would also be the USA

@@octogonSmuggler she didn't travel to China to ask that question

@Anonymous Anonymous Or Republican politicians or Catholic Church in 2019

Time hasn’t changed....

They were portraying how people/journalists of Nellie's time would somehow respond to her about her style of journalism - that's how I view it, sir.

That was bad, but the 1970’s theme from a bad porn was way more off putting to me.

It is good that you feel that way, it was intentional from their part, I think the production team did a great job in recreating the Nellie Bly story

@@avastavery5489 Are you sure the porn didn't just use the song too?

I thought it was an interesting way to tell the story.

@@TheLadyDelirium it was made to boost yourself so yes they intended you to think that way. its seems like a lie though

I liked it? Its pretty creative. I mean there were some cringey parts- especially when they tried to be funny, but otherwise it felt kinda personal and interesting

If you can watch an animated movie those actors are fake same with real movies. Its not any different. Tell me, do you hate audible?

Cody well it's a true story but yeah, the voiceover and stuff is fake.

and you would have ended up absolutely insane after a week. One of the women she wrote about was sent there because she was recovering from a severe illness and was too poor to go anywhere else... in other words not mentally ill at all, just physically very weak. She and Nellie were admitted at the same time. By the time Nellie got sprung the women was a gibbering insane mess due to how she was treated there. There was another women who only spoke German and was placed there because she got into a fight with her neighbor and no one could understand her. Perfectly sane, she just couldn't speak English. Nellie had intended to get herself admitted to the wing that was dedicated to the sickest patients but quickly realized once she was on the island that doing so would put her life in danger--apparently it wasn't uncommon for the patients in that wing to die of "seizures caused by brain-fever", baring injuries that suspiciously resembled severe beatings... It really was a horrific place

Same. Was thinking that!

I know people who think I’m mentally ill cause I don’t want kids. Even had my parents try to get me declared with some type of mental illness, where they would have to be my guardian and have control of the money my grandparents left me for college. Thankfully the judge didn’t believe my mother, and crazy actually didn’t listen to her opinion, as in, she didn’t have ay evidence except the stuff she made up.

I've never thought about it in this way but your very right!

I'm Autistic, I have a learning disorder and anxiety, I'm romantically attracted to both men and women but not sexually attracted to anyone, I don't want children or to be married, and I'm outspoken to my own detriment. I'd be absolutely *screwed.*

Yenrzzvezdrz lol that’s my question.

With a protagonist, they are usually written to be more relatable and more *normal* to our ears.

Lol stfu

I thought that too. The modern accent is so off-putting.

Anna Schvarzman Goncharova yes but with this title it gathers the attention of more than just people who actually know her name

@@zapsoda4984 I never knew she existed. So the title imo should atleast be a little exaggerated

@Northern Boy PewNews :>

@Northern Boy drama alert

@Northern Boy Philip DeFranco..do you just not use RU-vid?

You know? True.

No, she'd be hated for being a feminist.

Yeah... in studying journalism. She asked some good questions but she could have been or respectful. Like I get it's for the bit but that's not the best interview I've heard.

Can you please elaborate?

How is it a Clickbait? It’s obvious who they were talking about if anybody ever studied history of mental health.

@@48mavemiss2 I had no idea who this lady was, why should the general public have a deep study into the history of mental health before being able to click on a video?

If only they have put Nailey Bly in the title,I wouldn't feel bothered to click. I didn't know who she was.

Emma C in my opinion, you’re wrong. This type of title lures people in and gets them interested. More views equals, more recognition. I didn’t know who she was until after this video. And i probably wouldn’t have clicked on it if the title just had her name. So i would rather congratulate the person who made the title for getting people that may not even know anything about her to get to know her :))

Its scripted to show the public reaction of the time

Thank you... I find it kinda stupid and inaccurate, and people at that time didn't talk like that

Naomi Santana yes, that bothered me a bit, too.

Plus the title had little to nothing to do whit the video, i didnt even went through whit it

Because clickbait

@Glenna Ratcliff well she won't get more recognised by not advertising it

If you actually watch, then you will know more about her,,, but, if no one would be interested enough to click on the video, no one would care

@@SunnyBear the lady died whats the use?

@@tala3041 wait until you hear about the school subject "history"

that'd be me. I'd need a full out contract promising they'd get me out and a whole lot of money to agree to something like that lmao

The end.

I find this really interesting! Particularly because I'm a girl from Ohio as well and although we've still got a long way to go we as a country and as a society have made great strides

@@LoreEclectic I'm helping raise a 13 year old grandson & I see change in his generation like huge! Never let them take our rights away, keep fighting those that would prefer our voices quiet. Peace sister!

I often see your comments on videos. We obviously tend to watch the same stuff. Just wanted to say I really appreciate your input. :)

@@Ada-tv7zl ❤️

No she got started in Pittsburgh.

@@nellie3184 Yes but it was her expose in Mexico that made her renowned

Neat

i think humans are invincible when impassioned.

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS!!!

Yeah, maybe if you were blind or had never seen Archer.

@@dantetraitor847 this reply sounded like archer himself wrote it😅😂

NOTHING like it at ALL, mate. This animation is MUCH rougher, and the lines are slimmer,, move about, and the mouths are cruder and less defined. The animation on Archer is cleaner, sharper, like a knife and less cut-out, unlike this. I love the animation in both Archer and this little film, though. :-)

I can't unsee it now

gg chiu - ok, I’m glad I’m not the only one who saw that...

I know right

Who do you think Lana Winters was based on?

fajr YAAAAAAAS

@@LilithRoseoftheValley uffff

I really need to read this book. Nellie's story is so unique and interesting. Such a strong woman!

Thank you... I find it kinda stupid and inaccurate, and people at that time didn't talk like that

TBH the story is too important to go as far as to use the space you've been given to do nothing but complain about the format.

If you're going to put something in a platform like this that entertainment and likeness from the viewer is key for the success of the video or finding appealing is a key component being a good story doesn't cut it all the way here so criticism it's allowed and an valueble, doesn't have to be perfect but a lot of people find it annoying and don't like it the way it's framed and the interview aspect of this shit it's just kind of annoying... Js🤷

Yeah, I feel like they could’ve told the story in a more appropriate way if they didn’t use this interview and voice-acting style, which really didn’t sit too well with me in my opinion.

Right! I was just pointing out that man or woman, she was AMAZING!

Amelia P. There was a TV movie about her on lifetime, starring Christina Ricci as Nelly

karen d oh cool! I just meant a movie in the theaters so more people will know ab her

Haha

Yes
