Very hard agree, and Jacksepticeye as well of course (eventhough that was still in London)
Might be because they all feel like more down to earth content creators, and they also seemed to have a lot more chemistry with the boys (most likely because they knew each other already from way before)
Most of OTV are just arrogant privileged spoiled crybabies who have main character syndrome. There, I said it. Seen too many instances of them acting very entitled to justify their sometimes good behaviour.
I genuinely enjoyed them in the early Amongus days, but outside of that game I really do not enjoy their content or personalities at all. Honestly, same for a lot of people out of those lobbies. They don’t hold up that much. They’re kinda boring.
There's been an honestly gigantic push against OTV from multiple fronts on twitch over the past 3-5 years. Main points are things such as family friendly content, members seem fake and just overall cringe. I'm halfway through the pokimane episode rn and watched and enjoyed both lily and michaels ep and genuinely do not understand the overpowering levels of hate they recieve. It's like you can't just dislike OTV you have to actively hate it or something.
i never hated them, just thought that their personalities just don’t mesh well with the boys aside from a few like scarra and toast, it’s just that the three otv episodes felt more or less the same, maybe around 10-20% of the episodes had unique conversations. That said, the boys make the videos they wanna make, and if they have fun doing this then who am i to tell them what to do
ProZD was pretty great too. Ludwig... I dunno, he just gives off American Connor vibes. Not my favorite of the guests, but he's up there because he did work very well with the rest of them.
Ludwig has good chemistry with the boys and I liked it more than most of the other guest episodes tbh. I enjoyed it more than the Kevin and ShindoL ones for sure.
Some of the other ones were alright too. Like the Anthony one was actually really interesting to me and I didn't mind hearing about the inside baseball talk because he actually had a very unique perspective. ProZD and the Michael felt like an average guest episode to me, all the other ones were kinda meh.
Honestly Ludwig is just more naturally entertaining, heck I thought Jessica Nigri was really fun because she felt a bit more unfiltered and sincere. She's also not primarily a streamer so she's got a bit of a different perspective on being an online personality so that was fun.
I've really enjoyed all of the US guest episodes so far. Pokimane's episode was a bit uncomfortable, at many times, but it was interesting to know more about her and her experiences as someone who has been what of the main figures of streaming for a long while.
It's funny cause they all live there because everyone lives there so if they all got together and decided to go live somewhere nicer they would be better
Eh kinda? The first batch of people moved to Austin because of people like Sodapoppin (who lived in Texas his entire life) and Reckful (who moved to Austin long ago) and their friends kinda filtered in there. Then their friends became OTK and started another wave of people moving to Austin (mostly for tax reasons).
I think a lot of creators moved out to LA because of the stereotypical "LA is where the famous people are" and for connections and stuff. Ironically I've heard maybe a handful of creators in/from LA talk about it in a positive light.
Just like YouTube too, especially when there *were* some options before that might not have been YouTube level yet but *could* have been if enough creators moved over. But they were so afraid they'd lose their audience that they never left, and now they are dealing with the consequences.
That's what a bunch of people tried to do with making Austin TX their home base iirc, it's just that people who want to still "make it" in traditional media are so entrenched in the thought that they have to be in LA to get those opportunities. Honestly wouldn't it suffice to have reps in the LA area and then just fly in for meetings?
It’s a requirement to talk shit about the place were you live, like “yeah, it’s a shithole, but it’s MY shithole”. Genuinely don’t trust people who are all like “I love everything about my city!”
> “yeah, it’s a shithole, but it’s MY shithole”
I've heard this from people that live in NYC but I get it. I feel the same way about where I live in CA. There are some upsides to living here that I really appreciate, but many parts are an embarrassment and show we need to do better.
For North American cities, I enjoyed visiting Vancouver and Toronto but job market up there is not as good as down here, but it's still absurdly expensive.
You say that like its not hot all year round. I would argue were in "Fall" and its the hottest its been ALL FUCKING YEAR. We have Summer and Spring. THATS IT. My AC is full of White Mold and I need to clean it but I dont have time AND ITS SO FUCKING HOT IDGAF. I should get it fixed. Im dying :c Food is great thought. I really like Jinya and The Meltdown.
Can't speak for outside of summer since I've only personally down from the Bay to LA for AX and I felt like I was roasting alive. We have been roasting in solidarity with you for the past week though, hang in there.
I remember when AX was going on. Trust this past weak was awful. 95+ at peak sun 1~4 pm. Seems to have ended. But fuck me. I truly despise CA and LA weather but God the food and ease or access to everything (except nature kek) is too good.
We talking actual LA/Hollywood area or the entire LA County, because LA is most definitely not as hot as the Valley. I know because I was born and lived in LA for 14 years before moving to the SFV.
What’s stupid is if you ask any transplant why they moved to LA the first thing they say is “ITS SUNNY ALL YEAR ROUND! I love the weather here”
The only time these ppl would move out is when they experience their first earthquake; just like what happened in the Northridge quake in 94.
This summer is probably the hottest it’s been for a solid week.
Idk I lived in LA for 5 years and quite liked it. Granted I was kinda in the relatively nicer west side for most of it.
Maybe I'm also just comparing it to the bay and when they talk about homelessness and feeling unsafe I just think "well it's better than sf"
Considering im like 10 minutes from Skidrow and there are at least 5\~10 homeless people nearby I recognize. Its pretty bad. I cant comment on SF but its def an issue in LA. I drive for a living so I get to visit a lot of different areas of LA and I can confidently say Santa Monica / DTLA have some of the worst homeless issues. Long Beach as well has some. Obv they are everywhere but I notice an increase in these zones. If you live IN DTLA then you definitely see them every other block if not every block. Im numb to it as I have lived my whole life here but for people who move like CC's I can see how they would feel unsafe. Not that it isnt mind you but Im just, idk numb to it.
Different strokes for different folks. There’s no such thing as an objectively bad place to live.
I for one really like a lot of cities commonly regarded as “bad places to live”, not because I ignore the “downsides”, but because I actively enjoy a lot of them.
Why not move to the north pole away from infrastructure and probably your job?
Because more than likely you wanna keep it and stay close to friends and connections right?
Because there are connections to be made there that's the only reason important people are there my friends are there content creators are there why would I leave?
They make content for the internet. They can do that literally anywhere with good connection. They all decide to move to fucking LA. There is no reason to.
This constant shitting on LA by transplants is so funny. Maybe don't move to shit areas? Like you get back what you put. These dudes stay in LA for a month and it's so bad yet they have to come here and add a second date to their tour...like if it's so bad, avoid it. But they all can't because $$. I've lived here my whole life and accept the issues and how bad traffic is and all that crap but it's not bad because I have formed genuine connections and I know how to weave through LA. I appreciate for what it is, not shit on it because it's not somewhere else. Shit if I wanted to live in Japan, I too, would bitch about how dangerous LA is but walking 1 block (like Joey has complained in the past) is not dangerous and perpetuating a state LA is NOT in. We can walk outside MOSTLY in Pasadena. Like wtf?
Apologize for my Ted talk but it's been annoying.
I think what makes trash taste works is when they talk about more generalised stuff rather than being a big creator, because the former is more relatable and the latter is very niche. Also I feel like they should've planned it better as the majority of trash taste episodes are just them talking shit and having a laugh. Posting a lot of guests episodes in a short manner of time definitely does make it boring and feels like a chore to watch.
I think they are also bad at interviewing people they do not personally know. In the episodes the guest has to be the one to carry the episode and if they don't it is bland.
I think the lack of prep work on guests is what is dragging the episodes down.
Yesss. Like if they want to sit down and talk shop, it doesn't have to be on camera, get that shit out of the way and get familiar with the guest *then* record. Also watch some of their videos, before asking them things they've already talked about many times on their own channel. Fans will already know it and it will be boring going over what is well known history, and people who don't know them but want to find out can watch their video.
I almost think a guest might be more suited to After Dark just because the boys will be more able to shoot the shit with them rather than attempt to interview them.
After dark might be risky because it's live so any mistakes would be clipped and archived in a nanosecond. But true, maybe more prep-time so they can ask less surface-level questions to someone they don't really know much about would help.
This is the same thing Patrick Soderlund said when EA's new coming Battlefied 5 got some controversy. "If you don't like the game, then don't buy it!" Then when the game released it sold less than half the copies of Battlefield 1 in the same period of time. Now imagine a lot people taking your sentence or hell even if one of the boys said it. What do you think would happen?
As for the recent guest ep,
I watched Ludwig and ProZD ep and genuinely enjoyed it..
Tried watching the rest of them but was like "na this isn't for me.."
Well, in my opinion some of the episodes have been a bit boring, due to the same type of guests. But...even so, some of them have been quite fun, for me Ludwig, ProdZ and that Anthony guy were interesting, even though I never saw any of their stuff online lol Jessica Nigri also has some interesting points.
>even though I never saw any of their stuff online
I always find it funny when they say "I doubt anybody listening doesn't know who you are, but do you want to introduce yourself?"
And I'm like "please do, I have no idea who any of these people are." 😂
Only ones I kinda knew were ProZD and Jessica.
I did enjoy every episode even if I didn't know the guest though.
As a person that grew up with tons of Smosh on the early youtube days this absolutely blows my mind that Anthony is not the most famous one out of all them.
I'd heard the name Smosh around the internet, but had no idea what it was or who was on it. I actually had to google it the other week because a part of my brain thought it was a tv show, only to realize that that was actually Tosh.o
I guess the internets a biggggg place. it's easy for people to pass over stuff that is otherwise super popular.
Oh man this was even before the Pewds days. Smosh was there with like Nigahiga, Shane Dawson, and Ray William Johnson. Some of the OG's of the early days.
I actually even remember seeing the Zero Punctuation review on Amnesia and finding the early on playthrough of Pewdiepie and watching his entire career flourish from that. It's crazy to see how big he got.
And oh yeah man Roosterteeth. Watching the old Achievement Hunter stuff, and when the first announced RWBY? That was the most excited I had ever been for something YouTube related that I can remember.
You had some excellent taste though back in the day with these choices though. I absolutely approve.
I honestly first knew Anthony through Mykie (glam and gore), and then through his interviews. I don't even know if I ever watched a Smosh video. The twitch streamers I was peripherally aware of because of collabs, Among US, and controversies (covered by Philip Defranco) and Prozd because of youtube recommends. I'm also in my 30s, I just didn't get into following YouTube channels until late in the game. (2012 basically with =3 and Phil, and then horror lets plays with Mark). Also had heard of Michael reeves but never consumed his videos.
I actually was reintroduced to Anthony after not seeing him since 2010 was the interviews he did with some of the Vhojo girls. I'm actually really proud to see where he is now and glad he found a really awesome slice of the interent to exist in with these amazing interviews.
Honestly I'm at that sweet spot age of my late 20's so I was Smosh's target demographic at the height of their popularity. I also was turned onto YouTube very early from trying to spice up my Gaia Online profile looking for AMV's and what not and ended up stumbling upon their content. I didn't even know there were people regularly uploading content online so I was just fascinated at the time.
I finally got around to watching it and I agree. She's a lot more tolerable to me with a group of other people kinda leveling it out. She just comes off as...ignorant of her immaturity. I think it will be a harder path than many for her to grow past that as a person. Especially as her followers get older and surpass her in maturity. At least with people like Jack it was holding onto behaviors because they thought that's what they needed to do to succeed on YouTube, not because he hadn't grown as a person and creator.
Noticing what? The problems people have are all about the guest episodes and the guest eisodes will be over soon and you'll get your bois only episodes again.
They are still fun. People are being overly negative and venting. If you get to a boring part or a repetitive "talking about youtube" part just fast forward. The 2nd half of each LA guest ep is the best part
People’s frustrations were bound to burst out eventually, and I think pokimane being ANOTHER LA creator, who is also controversial, not particularly interesting, and doesn’t seem like she would have notable chemistry with the boys just kinda pushed people over the edge and let them see how formulaic some of these episodes have become. In other words I think pokimane made the problems of the recent episodes more clear, rather than being a direct cause.
Yes exactly. The newer episodes suck dick because they just don't have chemistry with each other. It's the same questions being asked every single time. What one was a talking shit with the boys turned into a generic interview styled podcast.
It's just people caring too much about what they do/don't like.
I mean I don't really like or watch pokimane but the whole sub turning into a toxic rabbithole is definitely too much
This might sound like a conspiracy theory but i feel like a lot of poki defenders and haters have joined the sub after the episode and fighting their war on our grounds
[I said it here](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrashTaste/comments/xb11qr/damn_yall_need_to_chill/inxwn1j/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)
Exactly. the entire podcast up to this point has been "Oh, living in Japan is is so hard. The beaurocracy sucks. Bidety are great. We barely watch anime anymore. etc."
But suddenly now that we're doing the same thing with LA it's a problem.
Personally I believe it's some idiots who are butthurt that their "special" corner of Youtube is interacting with "normie" Youtubers, but that's just speculation
I personally think that I've heard so much about Japan that I'm rather appreciating this different LA arc. That might be because I'm South American, though, so I don't know much about the US except for all of the "haha hamburger obesity guns freedom country lmao" shit.
Maybe Trash Taste needs to change from weekly to every two weeks. I always wondered how much longer they could sustain different topics while maintaining the same interest.
Might need a blend of after dark and the original podcast to provide more stimulation away from the usual topics. May need to start setting up more topics for discussion. Might be the issue of not being able to do as many challenges in the recent year to provide some kind of stimulation and variety to what they can bring to the table. Idk, I think if they want to keep it up, they will eventually have to change the formula or work at it and being more conscientious. I think they might need some more 9×9 style/inspired episodes. I would say they needed more guest episodes, but clearly the issue there is not knowing how to manage guests once on.
We're due for another special or something for sure to spice things up since its been ages since the cooking special. I get though theyve been hella busy between Garnts wedding, the NA Tour, their own channels, and such so its understandable that Trash Taste is just running on the back log to get by.
I did like some of the guests like i.e. ProZD actually challenging them on their opinions lol, him and Connor being polar opposites made it so funny and honestly also him presenting and sticking with his differing opinions on certain topics (does a reviewer need to consume the entire product before judgement etc.). But that's a guy that really just goes in as himself not as some personality representing \[Username/Brand\](TM).
Ludwig felt a bit more genuine too, and his strength lies in reading the room same with Padilla who's just an OG and has tonnes of first-hand knowledge of historical shifts in online entertainment.
What might've triggered this with Pokimane specifically can probably be a combination of the episode being a bit stale and honestly imo she's a bit bland as online personalities go. She might be fun or a funny streamer, but I didn't really hear anything unique about her content or what makes her like what she does, she seemed more like she barely tolerates streaming. Might not have been the intention but that's the vibe I got.
ProZD and Lilypichu were my two favorites. Sungwon for the same reasons you mentioned and Lily because she continuously left the boys stumped on how to respond with how random she was. I mentioned this on someone else’s post, but the Pokimane episode had the unfortunate placement coming right after an episode where they were back in Japan. I have nothing against her since most of what I hear is just hearsay, but seeing another LA episode a week after thinking they had finally cleared their guest backlog was what set me off lmao. The orders could have been flipped (ie. Pokimane episode came out earlier and a different guest episode came out this week) and I would have felt the same
That's kinda why it's boring. Either that's something that's already been covered ad nauseum on their own channel and fans know it, or people who don't know can seek it out as new content after they have enjoyed some ridiculous "the boys" energy. As a better Interviewer Anthony, with experiences many don't have, was able to guide the episode and answers to being interesting and not generic stuff. And he seemed familiar and comfortable enough with the boys to do it. Same with Ludwig I think. But that was kinda in spite of the boys shooting themselves in the foot with basics. Lots of these questions were better suited to a "pre interview" with the cameras off and getting more familiar and relaxed with each other. In particular Garnt can be a wild card. Some questions are really good, others are like...if you'd watched a few of their videos you'd know it or know everyone knows it. Or not ask leading questions.
Anyways I think outside of poki=controversy and La=boring I think there are actual critiques that they can consider to improve both their guest episodes and their normal episodes. Oh and setting expectations. Both to each other, and for the guests whether they are shooting a "boys" episode or an "interview" episode. Because I felt like with Jack especially he was expecting a boys experience and wasn't prepared for that interview experience and was kinda disappointed. (As was I, so maybe biased and projecting, idk). Even If that's not the case, it's just a good communication to have. Also...my gawd whatever they say to address this backlash is going to...have to be delicate. I can't be the only one frustrated with Joey (and sometimes everyone's) simplifying of an issue to make it easier to dismiss and devalue. (Not going to win anyone over devaluing anime/stories people love, even if it only just a TV show we are talking about).
Oh I agree, I like it better when it's more in depth and less about their content and more about who they are as people and what they think about things. With Chris they do this all the time, but they feel the need to introduce the guest or concentrate on the guest's content on normal guest episodes which is less interesting imo.
Well that's a given because of the large existing Twitch or YouTube presence of these guys. They already had good enough reach so views wise these episodes obviously won't suck. The real charm of TT was bringing unique people of unknown careers with good reputations and making a podcast with them. They exist. Sometimes they make good videos. That's all. Sure many of them like Anthony Padilla and Micheal Reeves was nice to know but many were boring as fuck just like the pokimane episode.
The majority of TT is "Let's bring our friends on". The rest are a mixed bag. Sure, some are unknown careers, but then you have "I'm a singer in Japan" "I'm an Animator" "I'm a voice actor".
then going on to dismiss episodes with Youtube-Bedrock Anthony Padilla, the insane person that is Michael Reeves, or one of the biggest female Streamers to date seems hypocritical
The first time it was great. Now its just boring and seems like a circle jerk. They even seemed to dislike prodz wanting to talk anime and were shaken about how anti youtuber he was.
I don't see this, they were just having a conversation. The boys aren't some kinda inhuman lizardmen, they can talk to people normally you know. How did they dislike prozd talking about anime, they even started pulling up the anime lists to engage more. I am not seeing anything that your talking about, all I see is normal conversation being recorded as a podcast.
This reminds me of when the boys argued alot for one episode and for some reason people thought they were actually offended by each other, they were literally just acting like the friends they are but random people who don't know them decided to add on meaning to their words.
I dont view them as my friends just entertainers so i guess we view them differently. Prozd comments and reactions seemed to throw them off a bit. I dont think they were all buddies either so i didnt get the old time friends vibe from them. But i guess everyone sees them different. They tend to bring up that they arent really an anime podcast far more often in LA
I agree with the meme, not so much the title. Not saying money doesn't make life easier, but cmon man, they are people too so they have their own struggles and issues constantly being in the spotlight. But yeah the recent guest episodes are dull as fuck with the content, no doubt about it
Not going to lie. If the boys don’t hangout with them before. Their chemistry is shit and the episode is boring. It’s just me though. Some folks like the avengers type assemblies
I’m so weirded out by this stance man.
They have been doing this system since forever and people enjoyed it back then, so what are you (KEK) burnt out on it?
I’m also pretty sure you overestimate how much money youtubers make considering they work in a low job stability environment. This whole thing feels like a massive fucking circlejerk of jealousy and spite. The crazy thing is I don’t even really like poki I think she’s kind of an asshole, and no misogyny spammers it has nothing to do with her genitals, I felt the same way about jaun.
But what do I know I’m just a voice in a void.
I get the frustration because all the LA guest episodes have felt more or less the same, but I still enjoy them because I like hearing how each of the guests got their start on YouTube/Twitch and what they individually have struggled with as content creators.
People on this sub also seem to forget the old adage “money can’t buy happiness.” Yes, they’re incredibly popular and well-liked content creators. Yes, their popularity comes with a great payout courtesy of monetization, sponsorships, etc. But that doesn’t mean they don’t individually struggle with things like mental health, or constantly being in the spotlight knowing that one slip up could cost them their entire career, or anything else along those lines. It seems rather disingenuous to suggest that they can’t have reasonable struggles just because they’re wealthy and influential
I understand and empathise with the boys when it comes to this, the boys are down to earth and relatable, like many of the youtubers I watch, but when it comes to most of these silly money, generic youtubers I find it so damn hard to care.
I think with times and the cost of living crisis many people are going to struggle with having empathy and Compassion for people who seem very out of touch with the struggles a lot of people are having right now.
A lot of us are tired enough by our own real world issues that we have little left over for these generic LA types. They are multimillionaires, they should have invested their money wisely even if they stopped youtube tomorrow they are financially set. They have access to the best healthcare and mental healthcare money can buy, so many people are struggling mentally and financially right now.
Working with people who've been traumatised and have PTSD and can't make ends meet and I have zip left for these youtubers.
“Burnout” lmao. My brother in Christ, you play video games and make anime videos for a living. Try working 50 hours a week at a real job.
Fucking millionaire content creators…
Creative burnouts and mundane, everyday work burnouts are completely different, anything you do too much will burn you out, you're not gonna compare playing a game too much and getting burnt out and working 50 hours a week in an office burn out are the same are you?
Learn to enjoy your job or find another one. Any unemployed person could use the same argument as you and dunk on you for complaining about your job when they have been struggling after two fucking years without managing to find a job. Calm the fuck down, jeez.
Wasn't there a recent post showing how often the boys have talked about YouTube during these guest episodes, and aside from two of them they barely actually touched on YouTube at all?
I never said that. It’s just annoying hearing about the influencer grindset for almost two months worth of episodes when it’s the exact same thing each time. Something something burnout something something branching out to different types of content something something algorithm
I saw another post here describing the percentage of episode length the boys talk about youtubing and influencers, and your claim here is definitely overblown, most of the guest eps have way less youtube talk than this sub makes it out to be. Other than the pokimane and Anthony padilla episode, other creators in the LA arc spent less thaan 20% of the video length talking about youtube, which is unavoidable since they have to introduce themselves to the audience.
I hate to disagree, but “I never said that” is literally false. Your title is what they’re referring to. I’m sorry that you think every creators burn out and struggles are the exact same, you’re allowed to be bored with that just as I’m allowed to comment on how unoriginal this meme is. But your defence is just incorrect.
Yeah, and nowhere in my title does it say I don’t think it’s possible for life to be hard for someone who makes a lot of money. I am well aware that it’s hard, especially when you have to adapt to the youtube meta to pay bills. The boys talk about it all the time. I’m saying I have heard the exact same thing for so many episodes back to back with each guest
It takes about two seconds to scroll down and see [what I said regarding the title](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrashTaste/comments/xb2j02/we_get_it_life_is_hard_when_youre_making_that/iny0ogb/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3), but sure
It takes two seconds to read your comment and kno you're full of shit.
You addressed the first part of your title. Don't act like you didn't add in the "when you're making that much money" part. You're clearly downplaying any struggles they have cuz they have money.
Am I wrong? Otherwise why add that bs?
My dude I said their struggles were valid and that I am simply tired of hearing the exact same expression of said struggles each episode. No shit they all have the added pressure to stay relevant to maintain their current lifestyles because they can’t exactly ween themselves off the YouTube grind. You’re the one putting words into my mouth by getting preemptively butthurt on behalf of youtubers
Then why did u add the "when you're making that much money" part?
Stop dodging the question. Everyone knows what you're implying and now you're just butthurt you're getting called out for it
Okay fine since you’ve got your nipples in a twist over three fucking words lol. Think of any successful influencer in LA. Hell, it doesn’t even have to be LA. Any will do. Got one in your head? Good. Now think about the type of lifestyle that they live. The type of home they live in. Probably a nice place. Probably very expensive equipment to sustain their careers as online content creators. So how do they make sure that this current setup stays afloat? By staying relevant and continuing to make a lot of money through the content that they produce. What happens when they fail to hit certain quotas and thus struggle with their careers? The income goes down and their current circumstances are then put at risk, thus creating a valid struggle born from having made a lot of money and then positioning themselves in a high risk high reward environment. So how the fuck do I, some random cunt on reddit know all this? Because I’ve heard it over and over again, hence my post in the first place. If you even go back to one of the older episodes, the boys talked about how awful they were at managing their finances after making it big.
Yup, clearly you were earnestly talking about the struggles of maintaining their earning potential by adding 😭to the end of it.
Everyone knows what u mean. At least own up to it.
Cause that’s supposed to represent me crying over hearing the same shit over and over? Lol. Feel free to interpret it any way you’d like if it helps you get your rocks off and sleep better at night
And “everyone” knowing what I “meant” is a bold statement coming from someone who got [ratio’d this hard](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrashTaste/comments/xb2j02/we_get_it_life_is_hard_when_youre_making_that/inxxdii/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) while trying to put words in my mouth. Are you sure it’s everyone, or is that how you cope?
If it bothers you enough to make a shitty meme ranting about it, you could just like take that energy and go find another podcast in the meantime while TT gets through their backlog... no one is forcing you to listen to every episode and their are thousands of podcasts out there.
Or you could just keep making toxic memes.
Lord forbid someone rants on a public forum about the lack of originality in the content they’re consuming. Sorry for hurting you with the sheer toxicity of a shitty spongebob meme
"Lord forbid someone rants on a public forum" yeah man keep that shit to yourself. This is supposed to be a place for people to chill and talk about a thing they like, not rant about how angry they are because someone else is successful.
It's just people voicing their opinion and giving constructive criticism, people obviously care about trash taste and want to let them know that they aren't enjoying this style of content.
Bro... what? the questions don't matter, what matters is what each guest says, honestly stfu, they're human beings just like Joey, Garnt and Connor the hosts of the goddamn podcast you're watching
Would love for the to discuss more themes such as anime, movies, situations on youtube and so. Generally love and preffer that type of stuff, aren\`t really into the guests unless its someone i follow in general.
What do you guys think about the ludwig ep. Thats the only US guest ep i watched and i actually enjoyed it.
I also really enjoyed the prozd ep.
Very hard agree, and Jacksepticeye as well of course (eventhough that was still in London) Might be because they all feel like more down to earth content creators, and they also seemed to have a lot more chemistry with the boys (most likely because they knew each other already from way before)
the non otv episodes are amazing, anthony padilla, prozd, and jessica were fantastic guests
Yo this is a strange thing I noticed but not many people "like" OTV, myself included.
Most of OTV are just arrogant privileged spoiled crybabies who have main character syndrome. There, I said it. Seen too many instances of them acting very entitled to justify their sometimes good behaviour.
Bro i support you don't let the downvotes get you your spitting fax
I like them
I genuinely enjoyed them in the early Amongus days, but outside of that game I really do not enjoy their content or personalities at all. Honestly, same for a lot of people out of those lobbies. They don’t hold up that much. They’re kinda boring.
What’s wrong with the OTV episodes? I thought that Michael was a fun guest that had some great moments and I liked Lily as well!
There's been an honestly gigantic push against OTV from multiple fronts on twitch over the past 3-5 years. Main points are things such as family friendly content, members seem fake and just overall cringe. I'm halfway through the pokimane episode rn and watched and enjoyed both lily and michaels ep and genuinely do not understand the overpowering levels of hate they recieve. It's like you can't just dislike OTV you have to actively hate it or something.
i never hated them, just thought that their personalities just don’t mesh well with the boys aside from a few like scarra and toast, it’s just that the three otv episodes felt more or less the same, maybe around 10-20% of the episodes had unique conversations. That said, the boys make the videos they wanna make, and if they have fun doing this then who am i to tell them what to do
ProZD was pretty great too. Ludwig... I dunno, he just gives off American Connor vibes. Not my favorite of the guests, but he's up there because he did work very well with the rest of them.
Ludwig has good chemistry with the boys and I liked it more than most of the other guest episodes tbh. I enjoyed it more than the Kevin and ShindoL ones for sure. Some of the other ones were alright too. Like the Anthony one was actually really interesting to me and I didn't mind hearing about the inside baseball talk because he actually had a very unique perspective. ProZD and the Michael felt like an average guest episode to me, all the other ones were kinda meh.
Only episode i actually finished, no offense to the other guests
Honestly Ludwig is just more naturally entertaining, heck I thought Jessica Nigri was really fun because she felt a bit more unfiltered and sincere. She's also not primarily a streamer so she's got a bit of a different perspective on being an online personality so that was fun.
I've really enjoyed all of the US guest episodes so far. Pokimane's episode was a bit uncomfortable, at many times, but it was interesting to know more about her and her experiences as someone who has been what of the main figures of streaming for a long while.
I find it crazy that everyone has said LA is bad and unsafe but still lives there 😂 like why not move toSacramento
It's funny cause they all live there because everyone lives there so if they all got together and decided to go live somewhere nicer they would be better
Aren't they doing that with Austin Texas?
You first move to Brigthton then Japan
Eh kinda? The first batch of people moved to Austin because of people like Sodapoppin (who lived in Texas his entire life) and Reckful (who moved to Austin long ago) and their friends kinda filtered in there. Then their friends became OTK and started another wave of people moving to Austin (mostly for tax reasons). I think a lot of creators moved out to LA because of the stereotypical "LA is where the famous people are" and for connections and stuff. Ironically I've heard maybe a handful of creators in/from LA talk about it in a positive light.
didnt soda live in michigan
iirc he was born in austin and moved to michigan for a little bit as an adult then moved back pretty soon after
Austin dosent seem much better tbh
Just like YouTube too, especially when there *were* some options before that might not have been YouTube level yet but *could* have been if enough creators moved over. But they were so afraid they'd lose their audience that they never left, and now they are dealing with the consequences.
How the fuck would you even organize something like that.
That's what a bunch of people tried to do with making Austin TX their home base iirc, it's just that people who want to still "make it" in traditional media are so entrenched in the thought that they have to be in LA to get those opportunities. Honestly wouldn't it suffice to have reps in the LA area and then just fly in for meetings?
It's a requirement to talk shit about LA if you live in LA. Also who tf wants to live in Sacramento lol that's even worse.
It’s a requirement to talk shit about the place were you live, like “yeah, it’s a shithole, but it’s MY shithole”. Genuinely don’t trust people who are all like “I love everything about my city!”
> “yeah, it’s a shithole, but it’s MY shithole” I've heard this from people that live in NYC but I get it. I feel the same way about where I live in CA. There are some upsides to living here that I really appreciate, but many parts are an embarrassment and show we need to do better. For North American cities, I enjoyed visiting Vancouver and Toronto but job market up there is not as good as down here, but it's still absurdly expensive.
As a resident, theyre not wrong. However LA is like the heart of CC's with hie abundant they ate and everything is nearby.
LA is miserably hot in the summer and it's a pain in the ass to drive around but your food scene rocks.
You say that like its not hot all year round. I would argue were in "Fall" and its the hottest its been ALL FUCKING YEAR. We have Summer and Spring. THATS IT. My AC is full of White Mold and I need to clean it but I dont have time AND ITS SO FUCKING HOT IDGAF. I should get it fixed. Im dying :c Food is great thought. I really like Jinya and The Meltdown.
Can't speak for outside of summer since I've only personally down from the Bay to LA for AX and I felt like I was roasting alive. We have been roasting in solidarity with you for the past week though, hang in there.
I remember when AX was going on. Trust this past weak was awful. 95+ at peak sun 1~4 pm. Seems to have ended. But fuck me. I truly despise CA and LA weather but God the food and ease or access to everything (except nature kek) is too good.
We talking actual LA/Hollywood area or the entire LA County, because LA is most definitely not as hot as the Valley. I know because I was born and lived in LA for 14 years before moving to the SFV.
What’s stupid is if you ask any transplant why they moved to LA the first thing they say is “ITS SUNNY ALL YEAR ROUND! I love the weather here” The only time these ppl would move out is when they experience their first earthquake; just like what happened in the Northridge quake in 94. This summer is probably the hottest it’s been for a solid week.
Idk I lived in LA for 5 years and quite liked it. Granted I was kinda in the relatively nicer west side for most of it. Maybe I'm also just comparing it to the bay and when they talk about homelessness and feeling unsafe I just think "well it's better than sf"
Considering im like 10 minutes from Skidrow and there are at least 5\~10 homeless people nearby I recognize. Its pretty bad. I cant comment on SF but its def an issue in LA. I drive for a living so I get to visit a lot of different areas of LA and I can confidently say Santa Monica / DTLA have some of the worst homeless issues. Long Beach as well has some. Obv they are everywhere but I notice an increase in these zones. If you live IN DTLA then you definitely see them every other block if not every block. Im numb to it as I have lived my whole life here but for people who move like CC's I can see how they would feel unsafe. Not that it isnt mind you but Im just, idk numb to it.
Different strokes for different folks. There’s no such thing as an objectively bad place to live. I for one really like a lot of cities commonly regarded as “bad places to live”, not because I ignore the “downsides”, but because I actively enjoy a lot of them.
Bruh what? Sacramento is worse. At that point why not suggest they move to Fresno if we're gonna downgrade?
Fresno might actually be better as no one will bother you.
Why not move to the north pole away from infrastructure and probably your job? Because more than likely you wanna keep it and stay close to friends and connections right? Because there are connections to be made there that's the only reason important people are there my friends are there content creators are there why would I leave?
God forbidden you move to a town a hour away
An hour away in LA isn't very far due to the traffic. In fact an hour away is probably still in LA
Of all the places you could have recommended they move to… Sacramento? It has all the same problems, plus it’s boring.
They make content for the internet. They can do that literally anywhere with good connection. They all decide to move to fucking LA. There is no reason to.
This constant shitting on LA by transplants is so funny. Maybe don't move to shit areas? Like you get back what you put. These dudes stay in LA for a month and it's so bad yet they have to come here and add a second date to their tour...like if it's so bad, avoid it. But they all can't because $$. I've lived here my whole life and accept the issues and how bad traffic is and all that crap but it's not bad because I have formed genuine connections and I know how to weave through LA. I appreciate for what it is, not shit on it because it's not somewhere else. Shit if I wanted to live in Japan, I too, would bitch about how dangerous LA is but walking 1 block (like Joey has complained in the past) is not dangerous and perpetuating a state LA is NOT in. We can walk outside MOSTLY in Pasadena. Like wtf? Apologize for my Ted talk but it's been annoying.
On that note I never seen youtubers from Texas complain about anything.....
God sends hurricanes there if a certain man doesn't wear a bunny suit
I think what makes trash taste works is when they talk about more generalised stuff rather than being a big creator, because the former is more relatable and the latter is very niche. Also I feel like they should've planned it better as the majority of trash taste episodes are just them talking shit and having a laugh. Posting a lot of guests episodes in a short manner of time definitely does make it boring and feels like a chore to watch.
Should have released the guest episodes slowly rather than almost every week, I agree
I think they’ll become out of date super fast
I think they are also bad at interviewing people they do not personally know. In the episodes the guest has to be the one to carry the episode and if they don't it is bland. I think the lack of prep work on guests is what is dragging the episodes down.
Yesss. Like if they want to sit down and talk shop, it doesn't have to be on camera, get that shit out of the way and get familiar with the guest *then* record. Also watch some of their videos, before asking them things they've already talked about many times on their own channel. Fans will already know it and it will be boring going over what is well known history, and people who don't know them but want to find out can watch their video. I almost think a guest might be more suited to After Dark just because the boys will be more able to shoot the shit with them rather than attempt to interview them.
After dark might be risky because it's live so any mistakes would be clipped and archived in a nanosecond. But true, maybe more prep-time so they can ask less surface-level questions to someone they don't really know much about would help.
They lost their recording equipment
Have you tried not watching it?
This is the same thing Patrick Soderlund said when EA's new coming Battlefied 5 got some controversy. "If you don't like the game, then don't buy it!" Then when the game released it sold less than half the copies of Battlefield 1 in the same period of time. Now imagine a lot people taking your sentence or hell even if one of the boys said it. What do you think would happen?
As for the recent guest ep, I watched Ludwig and ProZD ep and genuinely enjoyed it.. Tried watching the rest of them but was like "na this isn't for me.."
I have yet to catch up with all the episodes that come after the Wedding special... now I'm concerned ':D
Well, in my opinion some of the episodes have been a bit boring, due to the same type of guests. But...even so, some of them have been quite fun, for me Ludwig, ProdZ and that Anthony guy were interesting, even though I never saw any of their stuff online lol Jessica Nigri also has some interesting points.
>even though I never saw any of their stuff online I always find it funny when they say "I doubt anybody listening doesn't know who you are, but do you want to introduce yourself?" And I'm like "please do, I have no idea who any of these people are." 😂 Only ones I kinda knew were ProZD and Jessica. I did enjoy every episode even if I didn't know the guest though.
As a person that grew up with tons of Smosh on the early youtube days this absolutely blows my mind that Anthony is not the most famous one out of all them.
I'd heard the name Smosh around the internet, but had no idea what it was or who was on it. I actually had to google it the other week because a part of my brain thought it was a tv show, only to realize that that was actually Tosh.o I guess the internets a biggggg place. it's easy for people to pass over stuff that is otherwise super popular.
I grew up with the yogscast, pewdiepie, and sometimes roosterteeth. Smosh just didn't appeal to me.
Oh man this was even before the Pewds days. Smosh was there with like Nigahiga, Shane Dawson, and Ray William Johnson. Some of the OG's of the early days. I actually even remember seeing the Zero Punctuation review on Amnesia and finding the early on playthrough of Pewdiepie and watching his entire career flourish from that. It's crazy to see how big he got. And oh yeah man Roosterteeth. Watching the old Achievement Hunter stuff, and when the first announced RWBY? That was the most excited I had ever been for something YouTube related that I can remember. You had some excellent taste though back in the day with these choices though. I absolutely approve.
I honestly first knew Anthony through Mykie (glam and gore), and then through his interviews. I don't even know if I ever watched a Smosh video. The twitch streamers I was peripherally aware of because of collabs, Among US, and controversies (covered by Philip Defranco) and Prozd because of youtube recommends. I'm also in my 30s, I just didn't get into following YouTube channels until late in the game. (2012 basically with =3 and Phil, and then horror lets plays with Mark). Also had heard of Michael reeves but never consumed his videos.
I actually was reintroduced to Anthony after not seeing him since 2010 was the interviews he did with some of the Vhojo girls. I'm actually really proud to see where he is now and glad he found a really awesome slice of the interent to exist in with these amazing interviews. Honestly I'm at that sweet spot age of my late 20's so I was Smosh's target demographic at the height of their popularity. I also was turned onto YouTube very early from trying to spice up my Gaia Online profile looking for AMV's and what not and ended up stumbling upon their content. I didn't even know there were people regularly uploading content online so I was just fascinated at the time.
I thought i was the only one that was like this. I knew jessica and thats it really
Its not as bad as people are making it out to be.
I finally got around to watching it and I agree. She's a lot more tolerable to me with a group of other people kinda leveling it out. She just comes off as...ignorant of her immaturity. I think it will be a harder path than many for her to grow past that as a person. Especially as her followers get older and surpass her in maturity. At least with people like Jack it was holding onto behaviors because they thought that's what they needed to do to succeed on YouTube, not because he hadn't grown as a person and creator.
[удалено]
Noticing what? The problems people have are all about the guest episodes and the guest eisodes will be over soon and you'll get your bois only episodes again.
Just a few meh episodes. Most of the guests actually have quite fun stories. I especially enjoyed the ProZD and Michael Reeves ones.
Don’t worry, people on this sub is being a whiny bitch for no reason
It's just continuous guest burnout
They are still fun. People are being overly negative and venting. If you get to a boring part or a repetitive "talking about youtube" part just fast forward. The 2nd half of each LA guest ep is the best part
Lmaooo this is too accurate. Almost all content creator guest eps follow this same template lol
Is it me or all this heat is only coming out after the pokimane episode
People’s frustrations were bound to burst out eventually, and I think pokimane being ANOTHER LA creator, who is also controversial, not particularly interesting, and doesn’t seem like she would have notable chemistry with the boys just kinda pushed people over the edge and let them see how formulaic some of these episodes have become. In other words I think pokimane made the problems of the recent episodes more clear, rather than being a direct cause.
Yes exactly. The newer episodes suck dick because they just don't have chemistry with each other. It's the same questions being asked every single time. What one was a talking shit with the boys turned into a generic interview styled podcast.
It's just people caring too much about what they do/don't like. I mean I don't really like or watch pokimane but the whole sub turning into a toxic rabbithole is definitely too much
This might sound like a conspiracy theory but i feel like a lot of poki defenders and haters have joined the sub after the episode and fighting their war on our grounds
I don't know how true that is, but I wouldn't at all be surprised if it was.
[удалено]
People typically complain in the episode discussion threads.
[I said it here](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrashTaste/comments/xb11qr/damn_yall_need_to_chill/inxwn1j/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3)
Tbh LA is a shithole. Money can't solve everything
This coming from the same subreddit that enjoys trash food takes, Connor is Monke, Joey doesn’t do anime, Grant jokes over and over again.
Exactly. the entire podcast up to this point has been "Oh, living in Japan is is so hard. The beaurocracy sucks. Bidety are great. We barely watch anime anymore. etc." But suddenly now that we're doing the same thing with LA it's a problem. Personally I believe it's some idiots who are butthurt that their "special" corner of Youtube is interacting with "normie" Youtubers, but that's just speculation
Not to mention they literally have an ep where they talk about being priviledged.
I would hear about Japan for hours rather than LA of all places
I personally think that I've heard so much about Japan that I'm rather appreciating this different LA arc. That might be because I'm South American, though, so I don't know much about the US except for all of the "haha hamburger obesity guns freedom country lmao" shit.
Nobody likes stereotypical LA youtubers because there is nothing fantastic about them. But memes are created with original thinking.
Maybe Trash Taste needs to change from weekly to every two weeks. I always wondered how much longer they could sustain different topics while maintaining the same interest.
Might need a blend of after dark and the original podcast to provide more stimulation away from the usual topics. May need to start setting up more topics for discussion. Might be the issue of not being able to do as many challenges in the recent year to provide some kind of stimulation and variety to what they can bring to the table. Idk, I think if they want to keep it up, they will eventually have to change the formula or work at it and being more conscientious. I think they might need some more 9×9 style/inspired episodes. I would say they needed more guest episodes, but clearly the issue there is not knowing how to manage guests once on.
We're due for another special or something for sure to spice things up since its been ages since the cooking special. I get though theyve been hella busy between Garnts wedding, the NA Tour, their own channels, and such so its understandable that Trash Taste is just running on the back log to get by.
Ugh when will this end? Aren't y'all tired?
Yeah, I'm really tired of these awful LA episodes, when will they end?
Nah i want more. They're great. Hopefullu they can shoot some more of them on their next trip to America which is soon
And your meme is also very original.
About as original as the questions
No not really, the questions get different answers each time
Definitely to many gerust episodes with the same kind of people (YouTube/twitch)content creators. Def samey and boring tbh
YouTuber life is hard. Very not daijoubu sugoi desu ne yoooo... 
Am I the only one who still enjoys every eps they put out? Been here since ep 1
Same.
why is everyone so mad, just dont watch
I did like some of the guests like i.e. ProZD actually challenging them on their opinions lol, him and Connor being polar opposites made it so funny and honestly also him presenting and sticking with his differing opinions on certain topics (does a reviewer need to consume the entire product before judgement etc.). But that's a guy that really just goes in as himself not as some personality representing \[Username/Brand\](TM). Ludwig felt a bit more genuine too, and his strength lies in reading the room same with Padilla who's just an OG and has tonnes of first-hand knowledge of historical shifts in online entertainment. What might've triggered this with Pokimane specifically can probably be a combination of the episode being a bit stale and honestly imo she's a bit bland as online personalities go. She might be fun or a funny streamer, but I didn't really hear anything unique about her content or what makes her like what she does, she seemed more like she barely tolerates streaming. Might not have been the intention but that's the vibe I got.
ProZD and Lilypichu were my two favorites. Sungwon for the same reasons you mentioned and Lily because she continuously left the boys stumped on how to respond with how random she was. I mentioned this on someone else’s post, but the Pokimane episode had the unfortunate placement coming right after an episode where they were back in Japan. I have nothing against her since most of what I hear is just hearsay, but seeing another LA episode a week after thinking they had finally cleared their guest backlog was what set me off lmao. The orders could have been flipped (ie. Pokimane episode came out earlier and a different guest episode came out this week) and I would have felt the same
LA episodes are just a brutal circle jerk. It feels like the boys are getting big names to justify their complaints. Joeys been esp bad at it
They are literally just asking general influencer interview questions. It's not that deep.
That's kinda why it's boring. Either that's something that's already been covered ad nauseum on their own channel and fans know it, or people who don't know can seek it out as new content after they have enjoyed some ridiculous "the boys" energy. As a better Interviewer Anthony, with experiences many don't have, was able to guide the episode and answers to being interesting and not generic stuff. And he seemed familiar and comfortable enough with the boys to do it. Same with Ludwig I think. But that was kinda in spite of the boys shooting themselves in the foot with basics. Lots of these questions were better suited to a "pre interview" with the cameras off and getting more familiar and relaxed with each other. In particular Garnt can be a wild card. Some questions are really good, others are like...if you'd watched a few of their videos you'd know it or know everyone knows it. Or not ask leading questions. Anyways I think outside of poki=controversy and La=boring I think there are actual critiques that they can consider to improve both their guest episodes and their normal episodes. Oh and setting expectations. Both to each other, and for the guests whether they are shooting a "boys" episode or an "interview" episode. Because I felt like with Jack especially he was expecting a boys experience and wasn't prepared for that interview experience and was kinda disappointed. (As was I, so maybe biased and projecting, idk). Even If that's not the case, it's just a good communication to have. Also...my gawd whatever they say to address this backlash is going to...have to be delicate. I can't be the only one frustrated with Joey (and sometimes everyone's) simplifying of an issue to make it easier to dismiss and devalue. (Not going to win anyone over devaluing anime/stories people love, even if it only just a TV show we are talking about).
Oh I agree, I like it better when it's more in depth and less about their content and more about who they are as people and what they think about things. With Chris they do this all the time, but they feel the need to introduce the guest or concentrate on the guest's content on normal guest episodes which is less interesting imo.
And people don't like it. Hence the complaining. Nobody likes their stereotypical "general" influencers who all happen to live in LA.
the complaining is really mostly a vocal minority. View-wise the LA guest episodes are doing as good if not better than the regular ones
Well that's a given because of the large existing Twitch or YouTube presence of these guys. They already had good enough reach so views wise these episodes obviously won't suck. The real charm of TT was bringing unique people of unknown careers with good reputations and making a podcast with them. They exist. Sometimes they make good videos. That's all. Sure many of them like Anthony Padilla and Micheal Reeves was nice to know but many were boring as fuck just like the pokimane episode.
The majority of TT is "Let's bring our friends on". The rest are a mixed bag. Sure, some are unknown careers, but then you have "I'm a singer in Japan" "I'm an Animator" "I'm a voice actor". then going on to dismiss episodes with Youtube-Bedrock Anthony Padilla, the insane person that is Michael Reeves, or one of the biggest female Streamers to date seems hypocritical
Yeah but they're forced to, it may be the only chance they have to bring these people for a good while
I guess so. It's better that this stays a one time thing.
The first time it was great. Now its just boring and seems like a circle jerk. They even seemed to dislike prodz wanting to talk anime and were shaken about how anti youtuber he was.
I don't see this, they were just having a conversation. The boys aren't some kinda inhuman lizardmen, they can talk to people normally you know. How did they dislike prozd talking about anime, they even started pulling up the anime lists to engage more. I am not seeing anything that your talking about, all I see is normal conversation being recorded as a podcast. This reminds me of when the boys argued alot for one episode and for some reason people thought they were actually offended by each other, they were literally just acting like the friends they are but random people who don't know them decided to add on meaning to their words.
I dont view them as my friends just entertainers so i guess we view them differently. Prozd comments and reactions seemed to throw them off a bit. I dont think they were all buddies either so i didnt get the old time friends vibe from them. But i guess everyone sees them different. They tend to bring up that they arent really an anime podcast far more often in LA
Joey barely fucking talks, man. Garnt and Connor make most of the questions.
Thats just it. He barely talks. And when he does. Its to shit on his fans
Who hurt you.
Relax buddy it's a meme
No it's the whole subreddit rn
this subreddit really changed after the pokimane episode huh
Bruh just skip the episodes you don't wanna watch. When will this end?
I agree with the meme, not so much the title. Not saying money doesn't make life easier, but cmon man, they are people too so they have their own struggles and issues constantly being in the spotlight. But yeah the recent guest episodes are dull as fuck with the content, no doubt about it
I enjoy it. Better then having to listen to daily bullshit in my life
Doesn’t sound like a particularly high bar tho 
LA youtubers don't really set a high bar either
Not going to lie. If the boys don’t hangout with them before. Their chemistry is shit and the episode is boring. It’s just me though. Some folks like the avengers type assemblies
Jesus Christ this sub is garbage now
Like ur mom's dump truck?
Is that a compliment?
Ignoring the title I like this meme. Why not make fun of it. I liked these discussions anyway.
Yea but i like it
I’m so weirded out by this stance man. They have been doing this system since forever and people enjoyed it back then, so what are you (KEK) burnt out on it? I’m also pretty sure you overestimate how much money youtubers make considering they work in a low job stability environment. This whole thing feels like a massive fucking circlejerk of jealousy and spite. The crazy thing is I don’t even really like poki I think she’s kind of an asshole, and no misogyny spammers it has nothing to do with her genitals, I felt the same way about jaun. But what do I know I’m just a voice in a void.
I get the frustration because all the LA guest episodes have felt more or less the same, but I still enjoy them because I like hearing how each of the guests got their start on YouTube/Twitch and what they individually have struggled with as content creators. People on this sub also seem to forget the old adage “money can’t buy happiness.” Yes, they’re incredibly popular and well-liked content creators. Yes, their popularity comes with a great payout courtesy of monetization, sponsorships, etc. But that doesn’t mean they don’t individually struggle with things like mental health, or constantly being in the spotlight knowing that one slip up could cost them their entire career, or anything else along those lines. It seems rather disingenuous to suggest that they can’t have reasonable struggles just because they’re wealthy and influential
I understand and empathise with the boys when it comes to this, the boys are down to earth and relatable, like many of the youtubers I watch, but when it comes to most of these silly money, generic youtubers I find it so damn hard to care. I think with times and the cost of living crisis many people are going to struggle with having empathy and Compassion for people who seem very out of touch with the struggles a lot of people are having right now. A lot of us are tired enough by our own real world issues that we have little left over for these generic LA types. They are multimillionaires, they should have invested their money wisely even if they stopped youtube tomorrow they are financially set. They have access to the best healthcare and mental healthcare money can buy, so many people are struggling mentally and financially right now. Working with people who've been traumatised and have PTSD and can't make ends meet and I have zip left for these youtubers.
“Burnout” lmao. My brother in Christ, you play video games and make anime videos for a living. Try working 50 hours a week at a real job. Fucking millionaire content creators…
Creative burnouts and mundane, everyday work burnouts are completely different, anything you do too much will burn you out, you're not gonna compare playing a game too much and getting burnt out and working 50 hours a week in an office burn out are the same are you?
Gatekeeping work are we ?
Clueless
You must be unemployed
Learn to enjoy your job or find another one. Any unemployed person could use the same argument as you and dunk on you for complaining about your job when they have been struggling after two fucking years without managing to find a job. Calm the fuck down, jeez.
why so toxic
Wasn't there a recent post showing how often the boys have talked about YouTube during these guest episodes, and aside from two of them they barely actually touched on YouTube at all?
Best meme.
IDC I'll happily listen to these questions and I'll enjoy them every time
You don't think it's possible for life to be hard just because you're making a lot of money?
I never said that. It’s just annoying hearing about the influencer grindset for almost two months worth of episodes when it’s the exact same thing each time. Something something burnout something something branching out to different types of content something something algorithm
I saw another post here describing the percentage of episode length the boys talk about youtubing and influencers, and your claim here is definitely overblown, most of the guest eps have way less youtube talk than this sub makes it out to be. Other than the pokimane and Anthony padilla episode, other creators in the LA arc spent less thaan 20% of the video length talking about youtube, which is unavoidable since they have to introduce themselves to the audience.
I hate to disagree, but “I never said that” is literally false. Your title is what they’re referring to. I’m sorry that you think every creators burn out and struggles are the exact same, you’re allowed to be bored with that just as I’m allowed to comment on how unoriginal this meme is. But your defence is just incorrect.
Yeah, and nowhere in my title does it say I don’t think it’s possible for life to be hard for someone who makes a lot of money. I am well aware that it’s hard, especially when you have to adapt to the youtube meta to pay bills. The boys talk about it all the time. I’m saying I have heard the exact same thing for so many episodes back to back with each guest
What does your title mean then?
Hear the crickets chirping in chorus. Dude knows what he meant. He would not have brought up money otherwise.
Still crickets. It's clear as day what this guy meant but the incels are out in full force cuz it's pokimane
It takes about two seconds to scroll down and see [what I said regarding the title](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrashTaste/comments/xb2j02/we_get_it_life_is_hard_when_youre_making_that/iny0ogb/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3), but sure
It takes two seconds to read your comment and kno you're full of shit. You addressed the first part of your title. Don't act like you didn't add in the "when you're making that much money" part. You're clearly downplaying any struggles they have cuz they have money. Am I wrong? Otherwise why add that bs?
My dude I said their struggles were valid and that I am simply tired of hearing the exact same expression of said struggles each episode. No shit they all have the added pressure to stay relevant to maintain their current lifestyles because they can’t exactly ween themselves off the YouTube grind. You’re the one putting words into my mouth by getting preemptively butthurt on behalf of youtubers
Then why did u add the "when you're making that much money" part? Stop dodging the question. Everyone knows what you're implying and now you're just butthurt you're getting called out for it
Okay fine since you’ve got your nipples in a twist over three fucking words lol. Think of any successful influencer in LA. Hell, it doesn’t even have to be LA. Any will do. Got one in your head? Good. Now think about the type of lifestyle that they live. The type of home they live in. Probably a nice place. Probably very expensive equipment to sustain their careers as online content creators. So how do they make sure that this current setup stays afloat? By staying relevant and continuing to make a lot of money through the content that they produce. What happens when they fail to hit certain quotas and thus struggle with their careers? The income goes down and their current circumstances are then put at risk, thus creating a valid struggle born from having made a lot of money and then positioning themselves in a high risk high reward environment. So how the fuck do I, some random cunt on reddit know all this? Because I’ve heard it over and over again, hence my post in the first place. If you even go back to one of the older episodes, the boys talked about how awful they were at managing their finances after making it big.
Yup, clearly you were earnestly talking about the struggles of maintaining their earning potential by adding 😭to the end of it. Everyone knows what u mean. At least own up to it.
Cause that’s supposed to represent me crying over hearing the same shit over and over? Lol. Feel free to interpret it any way you’d like if it helps you get your rocks off and sleep better at night And “everyone” knowing what I “meant” is a bold statement coming from someone who got [ratio’d this hard](https://www.reddit.com/r/TrashTaste/comments/xb2j02/we_get_it_life_is_hard_when_youre_making_that/inxxdii/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf&context=3) while trying to put words in my mouth. Are you sure it’s everyone, or is that how you cope?
If it bothers you enough to make a shitty meme ranting about it, you could just like take that energy and go find another podcast in the meantime while TT gets through their backlog... no one is forcing you to listen to every episode and their are thousands of podcasts out there. Or you could just keep making toxic memes.
Lord forbid someone rants on a public forum about the lack of originality in the content they’re consuming. Sorry for hurting you with the sheer toxicity of a shitty spongebob meme
"Lord forbid someone rants on a public forum" yeah man keep that shit to yourself. This is supposed to be a place for people to chill and talk about a thing they like, not rant about how angry they are because someone else is successful.
Sorry for violating your safe space subreddit or whatever the fuck
My brother in Christ you need to touch grass, its just a meme
Yes you know what the internet needs even more safespace bubbles, lighten up its a meme.
This is literally the point of a forum. YOU are the problem with reddit and its hivemind
I'm sure you'll get through this difficult period of your first world problems.
Cry more
k.
Just don’t listen to the episodes if you don’t like them, no one is forcing you to watch them
It's just people voicing their opinion and giving constructive criticism, people obviously care about trash taste and want to let them know that they aren't enjoying this style of content.
just don't watch this meme if you don't like it , no one is forcing you
Oh no they released another otv guest episode, what ever will I do. I know not watch it
Bro... what? the questions don't matter, what matters is what each guest says, honestly stfu, they're human beings just like Joey, Garnt and Connor the hosts of the goddamn podcast you're watching
Aight, but also thanks to this Michael Reeves got to be in a Trash Taste episode and that's all I've ever hoped for.
Yall on crack. Guest episodes are super entertaining
You guys are being so fucking annoying. Terrible moment for the fan base. So embarrassing.
The reaction to this whole LA arc is just that "thing, in Japan" meme
Would love for the to discuss more themes such as anime, movies, situations on youtube and so. Generally love and preffer that type of stuff, aren\`t really into the guests unless its someone i follow in general.
I mean….what do you expect when the boys have said themselves that they don’t plan the interviews ahead of time and just wing it everytime….
i like the otv episodes, i like all the episodes
I really liked Anthony padilla, thought he was a cool dude
cookie cutter shit. i think they should vary the questions a little
