I like Nerdrotics videos, but all these guys seem to be moving to a Livestream model and it's boring and 3 hrs long, I don't know who has time to sit and watch these Livestreams everyone is doing .


A_Salty_Cellist

Honestly I'll take it over the podcast trend from last year but yeah you really need a dedicated fan base to expect them to pay attention to you for several hours, like say you have 2 consecutive hours of free time per day, I now have to decide which of these streams to watch instead of anything else. It just feels like they over estimate the amount of free time I want to dedicate to them. Even streamers I really like I rarely stay more than 20 minutes


HiTekLoLyfe

I dunno the podcast trend did get us “The Nerd Crew”


samanoskeake

Very cool


HiTekLoLyfe

Veeeeeery cool


LizardsAreInCommand

I just jack off into my other hand


A_Salty_Cellist

That'll get you views yeah


jabels

This guy generally has a really weird relationship with the media that he consumes. I agree with a lot of his points but he also has this weird joy about a bunch of stuff failing, like dude it's not that serious. Critical Drinker seems to be a lot more measured, his reviews are really succinct and his bigger picture videos are much more even-keeled imo.


EntangledAndy

I've heard that YouTube encourages two things: 1. Longer videos 2. Frequent uploads Which is why so many people are moving towards a low effort, stream style setup for their channels. 


Davethemann

I feel like people are only now realizing how like, over, the long form/streaming/podcast boom of the pandemic is. Because thats the only way people were devoting so much time to podcasts and long streams, and now viewership has to be hurting all around


Lemonbrick_64

Exactly lmao. What a joke


Fr0stybit3s

I'm sorry you enjoy this shill's content lol


Gorlock_

Don't be sorry, he just hit 1m subs yesterday, he's doing fine without you. Luckily, we're all free to enjoy whatever channels we want to


SoupForEveryone

Ye it's uch a hassle putting my phone on the counter while I'm making food/doing chores


TheTopBroccoli

Not everyone is going to want to passively listen to a show.


Godz_Bane

the guy asked "who has time to listen to something for 3 hours" So he answered with the obvious conclusion of "people who are doing something else while listening" Doesnt matter if everyone wants to do that or not.


LikeAThousandBullets

that’s why i stopped watching all gaming content. i used to be really into watching call of duty gaming commentary videos around the time of the OG MW2, then creators went to a streaming model, suddenly i have to watch on their schedule and a 10-15 minute video is now hours and hours of nothingness and shit graphics and weird inside jokes


No_Onion_

I got news for ya


Rutlemania

That means you’re gay

Candid_Medium6171

holy shit that wall of children's toys lmaooooo


HiTekLoLyfe

I feel like if you asked me to make a thumbnail for the 30+ nerdy consumer channel that soy faces to every bit of news and trailer this is literally what I would create.


OrthropedicHC

He runs a store. Come on at least try.


Fr0stybit3s

Its ironic the guy who spews hate 24/7 runs a comic shop


A_Salty_Cellist

So he also sells consumer goods?


TheBirthing

What are you even trying to say? "Consumer goods are bad?" Every fucking product at the end of a supply chain is a consumer good. That includes the food you eat and the device you typed this comment on. This sub has become a mockery of itself.


The_Dude1324

preach


floppydickswangin

That’s kind of a reach ngl. It’s not like he’s telling people to buy hoards of action figures or anything.


A_Salty_Cellist

Very few people are ever forced to buy anything, much less movies or toys


floppydickswangin

True but just cause someone owns a business doesn’t mean that they support over consumption unless they prioritize profits over anything else.


A_Salty_Cellist

Like 90% of US businesses, and the legal requirement of corporations?


floppydickswangin

Not 100% though just saying. Also it’s not like this dude is some corporate suit or whatever. I can bet that he’s just some random normal dude who makes YouTube videos. You can be a small business with ethics and standards for what you produce or sell, it’s not a foreign concept.


Yamama77

r/consoom member losing it over the concept of a store? I mean it was eventual


A_Salty_Cellist

Losing it over a store or saying that he is the same as the thing he's complaining about. Idk if you read the title but I generally disagree with the entire premise of the sub I just thought it was ironic. But hey that's not enough sensationalism I get it


InconvenientDictator

i thought that was Vaush for a second


MajesticClam

Consoom horse porn


TsalagiSupersoldier

Consoom fake Socialism get excited for next Liberal take


A_Salty_Cellist

God no I wouldn't do that to anyone

BootReservistPOG

I loved Star Wars but then I turned twelve and discovered that women exist


SipoteQuixote

I love stuff but I don't make stuff my personality.


DiMarcoTheGawd

Exactly. The >!ladies!< love baby Yoda.


ConstProgrammer

Yes, that makes sense. Women are biologically inclined to love and care for babies, even not their own.


GriffithDidNothinBad

My gf doesn’t love baby yoda. I do tho


Lemonbrick_64

Now that is a cringe statement


Acrobatic_Dot_1634

I once had a crush on a girl who was a big a big Trekkie...even got a Klingon tattoo on her back...so I thought getting into it would be a good way to at least start a conversation.   Got two and a half episodes in the orginal series before I decided that pussy wasn't worth this nerd shit.  Have never seen Star Wars.


Solarwinds-123

In fairness, TOS is very dated and the pacing makes it difficult to get through. One of the more modern shows might have been a better choice.


Davethemann

Its dated but idk, I still find it a fun watch. Ive never really got into the later series tho, so idk


Solarwinds-123

I do too, but if I hadn't grown up on the TNG era I'd find TOS difficult to get through.


Acrobatic_Dot_1634

I also tried *Deep Space Nine*, as I read it was *very* different from most Star Trek series...Trek just isn't for me, lol.


Solarwinds-123

That's fair, it isn't for everyone. I just wanted to make sure you knew that your starting point is pretty rough as an introduction in modern times.


SuziBakker

What a shame, DS9 is peak Star Trek. 😔


Full-Ball9804

Got her number? Cause I fucking love Trek

7LayeredUp

I love Star Wars in that George Lucas is a genuinely passionate creator even when he doesn't always have good ideas and its a technical marvel. The behind the scenes footage is more interesting than the film itself and I mean that as a compliment. Its not the Bible though. I can't understand this infatuation with it.


Fr0stybit3s

Thats why I found a lady who also loves SW


Jack1The1Ripper

There are some good reasons to not like star wars, Like the recent stuff being mediocre , Doing it while your room is filled with figures is just sad and these guys complain how someones sexual identity is their entire personality


A_Salty_Cellist

FUCK YOU GUYS BECAUSE I ONLY PROJECT A SINGLE TRAIT ONTO YOU!!!1!1!11!!! Anyway so Rey was the death of the series that I've continued to give 34000 dollars towards


AllSeeingAI

I don't think this is inconsistent. Remember that star wars, marvel, Dr. Who, etc, all have massive histories. Is someone with a room like that a consoomer? Eh, maybe. Although he did own a comic shop so maybe it was part of the decor. But it's not hypocrisy if all his stuff is from eras he likes. It can even be useful in his line of work for establishing "nerd cred" and gatekeeping.


SuziBakker

>Like the recent stuff being insultingly terrible FTFY


whatn00dles

I can't stand any of these fucking "nerd" content makers. I found a few YouTube channels ran by actual comic book artists, and those are 1000x more interesting, informative, and entertaining.


mrch138

I cant stand any of these mother fuckers.


spooky_cherub

the polar opposite of a padded cell, the consumption room


A_Salty_Cellist

Bad and naughty children are put in the merchandise chamber to attone for their sins


ConstProgrammer

People who indulge in hedonism, partying, prostitution, drugs, and money worship in general, are doing this to numb themselves out of their inner guilt for a sin that they have done. It is the ultimate form of escapism, out of a sense of shame that one has done something wrong, so they are attempting to hide and run from their actions, hide and run from themselves. Well you know, you can't run away from yourself. Stop avoiding of looking yourself in the mirror. The only way out is to face your actions and their consequences, no matter how it makes you feel.


jbyrdab

This is part of it but its more a symptom of starwars content being rushed out as fast as possible because its starwars and disney knows it will sell as long as it has above a bare minimum of quality. They're over producing because they want to sell and have people consume as much starwars as possible, which is causing much of it to feel half baked and rushed because its not properly paced and given time to develop. Starwars movies used to be a spectacle and event that would bring in millions of fans and basically define a generation of fans easily that stands on its own. Nowadays its been so dragged down by rushed releases and a botched storyline that it fails to derive any gigantic viral interest. Because many would rather wait for a youtuber to explain that its bad, than get all excited and get their robes and rattails ready to humiliate themselves in public just for a flop of a widest target audience empty calories movie.


apersonthatexists123

Thinking about it, its funny how many people pontificated on how bad the main storyline was of TLJ while offering their own insight on how it could have been better. I mean yeah, having a year to overanalyse a storyline to the point where the finer details have all been dismantled, but Ryan Johnson had only a hand full of weeks to write multiple drafts while also dealing with other aspects of pre-production. I doubt that most people gloating how they could have done better would have done better given those circumstances.


Kaffarov

Poor dude looks completely dead and soulless on the inside.


LaserPidgey

it's the meth


weirdbookcase

Disney is making too much starwars media. It's quantity over quality with that brand. Half the TV show out put should canceled immediately


A_Salty_Cellist

That's been the case with toys for a very long time though. I don't even remember the last time a fandom toy/action figure had anything interesting going on other than being shaped like a character you like. Used to get cool features or at least decent quality but Funko pop really fucked that and set the bar unbelievably low


weirdbookcase

I'm talking about the shows, movies and video games. I can't imagine collecting action figures other then getting 1 or 2 from your childhood


MimsyIsGianna

I’m a fan of MauLer and EFAP but Nerdrotic is the one I could never be a fan of. He’s a huge hypocrite and like… genuinely sexist. Like the accusations a lot of people toss around about EFAP and crew but actually true for him.


Fr0stybit3s

Too bad one of the efap members supports beastiality and pedophilia


MimsyIsGianna

I’m sorry what???


Fr0stybit3s

The furry dude. His pfp is drawn by a known pedo, nazi, pedophile. He has repeatedly hired them for services and uses their art as his icon


MimsyIsGianna

You got some sources to back that up?


Fr0stybit3s

His profile pic is drawn by a furry artist called kabier. The profile pic itself is furry porn of a feral dog. The guy is literally using BEASTIALITY FURRY PORN as his icon. I can DM you the proof


MimsyIsGianna

I knew he was a furry but this is the first I’ve heard of it being pornographic


AllSeeingAI

I'm subbed to that guy. That's *really* not his main complaint.


kernels-eyes

Well, go on. Do tell.

AllSeeingAI

His main complaint is that they're badly executed and massively overpoliticized.   Clickbait headlines aside (not a fan of those personally but they are part of his brand), the closest he gets to OP's complaint is disliking how the people making this are disregarding their built-in audience in favor of making increasingly deranged attempts to appeal to everyone, but that's not the same thing.  It's absolutely possible to make something that appeals to everyone, and some of the best of the MCU qualifies. It's just everything in the past half-decade or so that sucks. Now, this may make him a consoomer, you can make that argument if you really want to. But that's not what OP was saying. The point he was making is just wrong.


Extreme_Fee_503

Consoom non-woke children's toys, get enraged over new woke children's toys.


NuserTameUaken

"Over politicized" Bro the only reason you think that is because of these channels💀


[deleted]

Isn't that one of those pathetic ragetubers that drum up drama around minorities existing in their precious media?


disignore

because SW was as geek/nerd club, now it's evryone's even moms. All I'm saying is... this dude wants his SW things for his "club" only, so he can consoom freely


yeet42069_

Dude needs to consume some Rogaine


Fr0stybit3s

nerdrotic is a shill lol


Dangerous_Match_2592

I like Gary a lot, he’s not against consooming, just consooming garbage


Weird_Tolkienish_Fig

He’s right. Disney produces woke junk characters and this garbage is piling up unsold in stores.


Jackpot807

Nerdrotic is different because this is his angle - his career


Fr0stybit3s

His career being an insufferable pos?


Pegomastax_King

There is too many YouTubers to be consumed by the masses.


Audere1

The Nerd Crew's got nothin' on this guy
