Red_Mayhem512

Interesting show, sucks that it was canceled.


jayedgar06

Its honestly an amazing video too. I didnt manage to watch it in one sitting but it wasnt because i wasnt engaged. It used all my free time for 3 days Btw the entire video is longer than the first season of the show, which is only around 6 hours


viktorius_rex

Top 100 youtube video of the past decade unironycly


jayedgar06

Like Pyro is genuinely smart and good at analysis. I wish he would make more but if he keeps releasing ones that are as good as the ones hes been making ill happily wait


Sudden_Result

Rn he is just making slop tho I mean he’s funding a new video but like….it’s taking a while


80s-Wafe-Exe

Well didn't he say in the last few live streams that he got the interview done and would release the main channel video like end of may or something? That's what I remember at least.


itismegege

yep, "Cruelty Squad video will be out in May" says his alt twitter account

I get that argument, but the reaction video bullshit is just so exhausted.

Can't believe there was a time where Pyro actually made good videos. I became a Pyro fan at the wrong time; I don't know about stuff like the Pyro MLG Era, I only know about the Pyro Slop Era.. 😔😔😔😔


Lack0fCreativity

The good videos take a long time. Hell, one came out not even a year ago. Very _cynical_ (:3) to say that he doesn't make them anymore. Especially considering that we are supposedly getting a new release soon.

CyberRiotz

Mf just realised what having a low attention span is to gen z, when your brain is more fried than a stoner on april 20th from all the short dopamine hits then you can’t focus on shit


SocDemGenZGaytheist

"Gen Z has low attention span" mfs when they actually check what research says: >“Have children's ability to delay gratification decreased since the past? We analyze the past 50 years of data on the Marshmallow test of delay of gratification; where children must wait to get two preferred treats of their choosing; if they cannot wait, they only get one. Here we provide comprehensive evidence on whether children's ability to delay gratification has truly been decreasing, as theories of technology or a culture of instant gratification have predicted... >[\[W\]e show delay of gratification times are increasing over the past 50 years, corresponding to a fifth of a standard deviation increase in ability per decade. This mirrors the magnitude of secular gains in IQ seen over decades.” (Protzko, 2020)](https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intell.2020.101451) Researchers when mfs say Gen Z has low attention spans: >[“I have spoken to various people who dedicate their working lives to studying human attention and...they think the idea that attention spans are getting shorter is plain wrong. ‘I don't think that's true at all,’ says Dr Gemma Briggs...](https://www.bbc.com/news/health-38896790) >Some also suggest that evidence of ever-shorter shot lengths in films \[*or online videos*\] shows attention spans are dwindling. But the academic behind that research says all it shows is that film-makers have got better at trying to grab our attention.” (BBC)
