your YouTube is bad and you should feel bad

Hey, so guys I'm so done with the trend of 'media critiquing' YouTube channels. I'm done with the critiquing everything 'content', if you can call it that.

Hey so do you know how fucking hard it is to make hand-drawn animation, or make any art, for that matter? Or do you just choose cowardice and drone on with terrible voiceovers and supposedly 'analyse' every media you can?

I just saw one ripping into Disney films and franchise, but then it dawned on me that I just didn't agree with this person. Walt Disney pioneered a good thing, despite some sloppy sooky stories that supposedly 'pacify' people into believing prince charming will fix them. 

But I don't think Disney's legacy stands for just that. It is not only insulting to everyone who has ever worked there and helped pioneer 2D animation techniques, it also insults every child whose ever smiled and laughed at a Disney film. So simplistic to preach that Disney is somehow harmful to the internet.

I love the golden age of Disney films (90s), but this person didn't believe any of them were good. Bruh, how can you have an 'animation analysis' channel if you diss all of Disney? What the fuck is good animation to you then? Pray tell me, just what animation is 'good'?

If they are too soft or mushy or saccharine for your tastes, you have the choice of watching Serbian Film or Human Centipede 2 on loop if Disney's Mulan isn't your cuppa' tea.

YouTube is officially a gross echo chamber of pretentious post-hipster untalented millennials that can't get a real job or make art and share it online. They just take, take and take.

I don't post anymore, but I need to actually commit to letting my channel die. I have another throwaway channel without videos, I feel at peace there.

These videos have mastered a formula that hooks you at first glance with a click-baity thumbnail and tagline. As you watch, it leaves you anticipating some divine wisdom for an entire 45 minute-long duration. Content is now created based around how many juicy sponsor ads you can cram up into it, yummy.

I can't stand it.

I need to not engage.

Bit stressed right now though. Wasting all my time getting distracted when bubs is asleep. 

My final assignment is due in a week and a bit, so I'm trying to keep it all together.
