The early 2000s was my favourite era on the internet. People were making videos just to have fun, be silly, or show their film making skills. It was more genuine. These days, it's mostly about chasing sponsorships, reacting to old content over and over again.

Oh man, NFTs.... people are STILL trying to sell NFTs on Twitter and elsewhere. Well, I said it back then and I still say it now: Ponzi would be proud.

[Yuni-official]

The eras are literally getting worse and worse…

2:51"they weren't robbers, they were social media influencers"
hits deeper than expected, as if there was a meaning to it, a *metaphor* if you will.

We really need to stop giving the label "influencer" to people that act recklessly, stupidly and/or criminally

Which i feel would bring those numbers down at least 90%

[evannamanku]

Cant blame lil tay herself. Her parents were controlling her and greedy. Poor her.

[happyfuntimepewpew]

the first mistake is calling them “influencers”

[elleh]

Ayeee, our boy VV is now engaged! Congrats, man! Love your work as usual.

[Greybell]

You cannot just include Lil Tay and just gloss over the fact it wasn't even her idea to have the flexer persona. Fortunately, she turned out fine and is now focusing on making good music and drop the "flexer" persona that was given to her.

Man. I miss the old days when Smosh, Ray William Johnson (His show Equals Three =3), Annoying Orange & several Let's Players were at the PEAK of YouTube Content.

"Everyone was excited about the metaverse, being able to put a headset on and be in a new world" (25:00 ) VRChat came out in 2017, no one was stopping you from experiencing "a new world" already lol

Can we take a moment to realize how good the narration and flow and cinematography is

[mohammadtahaaslei]

The fact that you have started giving away your own opinions about those things makes the video a lot better and feels more person to person of course you are not directly talking to me but it feels more realistic. You are awesome

I miss when 'skibidi' was just a made-up word.

[kusapedia]

Concerning the AI issue. And in particular, the part where Elon Musk and others asked for the developments of AI to be paused, it was clearly just a way for him to buy time to build the infrastructure to get his own AI running.

[TescoTuber]

Influencers will do absolutely anything for fame, it’s kinda the sad reality of this world.

[DylanDoss]

Visual Venture is one of the few channels I've ever encountered on Youtube that warns against the dangers of the internet instead of looking at you like you're a dollar sign.

Speaking of TikTok challenges that needs to die is the kia challenge, many innocent people have been victimized by teens who break into kias and hyundais and go joy riding after watching a TikTok that basically showed them how to do. These kids call them selves the kia boys, I speak from experience as I was a victim of them. My car was recovered but the back end was damaged, the driver side door has no door handle and the worst is they ripped my steering column appart and it was found idling with the wipers on and when I got it back, the battery is dead.

[LalaluDonutsWithVaniella]

This is the only channel where I can watch a 50 min video from you are so entertaining and captivating I can’t stop

[marcilliez]

AI is the absolute worst though. God i hope they don’t ruin the world with this bullshit
