TH-cam has decided this video is "sensitive information," and has demonetized it... which also means they won't be sharing it as much in sub feeds. Please give it a comment, like, or share. That will really help.
You make it sound more nefarious than I think it is. I used to work for one... traveling around, doing tech stuff and whatever else. They weren't scheming about all that... but all those things were a by-product of how they live and how they construct a societal shell around themselves... they have their own bubbles... they travel from rich place to rich place on their private jet or yacht... they do not want to see poverty or any of the damage they have caused... and they are surrounded by sycophants who enable this bullshit... beyond that, they have something deeply wrong with them where billions of dollars somehow isn't enough. So, they lobby for all the tax money to be used on the systems that benefit them... they get the investments moved into their areas... then I think a lot of their underlings are more the ones who do the social engineering. There's a whole industry of people who cater to these rich assholes and I see much of the blame with them... though, I'm sure you're right to a degree... there must be some who are just evil schemers, but I don't think it's the majority.
@teksyndicate i hope you are right, but it feels extremely nefarious. When questioned, they just sit there silent with their beady little eyes and refuse to say a word, because they know all they have to do is be patient until they can get back on their yacht. I see no difference between indifference to evil and intentional evil.
democracy is division and a step to socialism, created by the 'international' banking families - convince the masses to vote for your puppets and get the 'left' to endlessly argue with the 'right, while no one truly has their own opinion; and while the FED owners carry on the debt slavery game. Thats why the US is no longer a constitutional republic...and no one stopped it.
I don't jump on the social media bandwagon these days but I have had a Facebook account for a long time and I keep it at this point because for some extended family and long-time acquaintances its the only line of communication I have with them. But I immediately deleted the app from my phone after watching this video. I may end up just getting rid of Facebook entirely, and I may have to just accept that there are certain people I will never speak to again because of that.
I'll NEVER forget how years ago, my Facebook account got locked out for the LAMEST *bullshit* reason: I was improperly representing an organization... that no one could name! All of the appeals were a complete waste of time and it was FASTER to make ANOTHER Facebook account! Eventually, I got fed up with Facebook and joined Twitter back when co-founder Jack Dorsey was still the CEO, which has since turned into a humongous shit show when a certain overvalued narcissistic egomaniac became its new owner! I don't need to uninstall Threads because I NEVER started on it! I don't trust another Zuckerberg related app/site and that was before finding out all of the bad news shown in this video that I can't say I'm surprised about!
im glad i have no idea what you are talking about, eg. these companies, i did away with reading/listening to the news years ago and i am so much better off, ignorance is bliss, i still enjoy your videos though, cheers
Do you remember making tiger direct video about nvidia 8800 gts alpha dog edition? I miss it, its peace of history and i think its removed. Cant find it :(
that spot on point! I hope that our nation and our friends worldwide can come to recognize that excessive hoarding of resources (represented by $$) is not something to be lauded nor are they "job creators" the urge to hoard is has been essential to evolution but also the squirrel that saves enough nuts for a long winter are good and decent squirrels but the squirrel that fills an entire barn with enough nuts to last 50 lifetimes is just an asshole.
I really wish more people would get on to Mastodon and stuff like that. Having forms of social media that is run by the community instead of billionaires is so much better. People will not have to worry about all their data being stolen, while at the same time having a more personal community to bond with. Plus, while the big dogs refuse to stamp out hateful content on their platforms due to it generating way more engagement, most people really don't want to deal with that garbage, and if they were more in charge would put a stop to it. I think having social media IS a fun thing and it should be enjoyable to use, but there's no excuse for massive companies to take all of our data. If these platforms were more about community driven content, I think for the most part that kind of stuff would be removed. You'll have those corners where hatred thrives, but it wouldn't be the mainstream like it is now. I GENUINELY hope those sorts of open platforms catch on as time goes on. I think that would bea much better future for social media in general than what we have now.
I'll try support your store for some tshirts from now on, lost access to bandcamp account. Stay safe. I'll check easymode out as a poor sinner. thank u logan.
I just liked the twitter because you could @anyone publicly. And often get a response, publicly too. I totally don't get what's wrong with it (conceptually; as a software it became quite buggy in recent time)
I've been stepping away from my public fediverse account because I've become a persona. But I still have a private account (that you also follow :P) and posting about my travel and it's just been nice. Human stuff, without even the chance for something to go viral or have some big impact (because they're followers only). Anyway, thank you for keep tooting (heh) the fediverse horn. And I hope this comment still gets some more attention. But youtube's gonna youtube I guess
No with twitter dying i need the same twitter experience and threads is the only one that will do that. Also logan been a fan since the tiger direct days your gtx 8800 reviews are legendary
wow what a horrible place. I can not believe that they gave that girls private messages to law enforcement. I personally have been off meta for years and have successfully gotten family away from them as well. it is poison to our society and rights.
The zuk just found the easiest way to make him rich fast. The billionaire augment that Eminem had about trump becoming president is how can a billionaire know the problem of the lower class in America
Year 2000 was great! Only geeks (me included) were on internet, forums were all about games, star trek, music (and porn of course :). Politicians at that time didn't know how to open email, let alone understand the deeper concepts of Internet. We could upload/download anything, even if it was over dialup. Then over the years, other people came to the party. And their friends. And their weird uncles. Then came Zuck, which brought all aunties and all distant family to the internet. Then Twitter came. This is when politicians saw it as a way to bypass media and shout directly at consumers. All the sudden internet was no longer the place to connect and share, but place to shout, harass, call each other idiots and posting death threats. Then regulators started seeing that people spend more time on the internet reading posts and watching youtube than reading magazines and watching tv, so they started to regulate internet and basically start sucking the life of what internet used to be. At around 2010 I said to myself - enjoy the free internet while it still is free. I used to be liberal, you know - no borders, share everything, peace and love, now i'm much more defensive, realizing that we have to get the pitchforks and defend our internet, or "they" are going to take it away from us. Bit by bit.
Yeah, I'm just done with social media. Done with humans in social environments. No in-person get togethers, no online get togethers. It's just not worth it. Meta, X, Bluesky, etc, they can all just fail as well. I'm tired.
Like I literally do not care about all the data collection. I have no issue with them collecting all that and using it. I DO however HATE all forms of advertising. Even your sponsored bit is hard to get through. So the incessant increase on advertising importance just kills it all for me. Yes I understand that is contradicting, I'm human, we are walking contradictions.
Not big into tech, but I love your social commentary and I love when you go on rants, criticizing the system. You’re an artist and a free thinker. You’re skilled at articulating your thoughts and I appreciate what you do.
i wish people would recognize that it's the concept of feeds full of people you didnt manually select that are the problem, regardless of who's running it. i was super disappointed when i saw that was a main part of the mastodon vision
8:30 You hit the nail on the head. That's what every social platform wants you to do for the sake of engagement, at the detriment of society so they can tell advertisers they have an active platform to rake in billions.
there are definitely different quality tiers of membrane keyboards, big difference between the oid reliable one and the cheap chinese shit that I got for Xmas last year. the spacebar wont even work until bashed pretty deep.
Annnd now I'm cleaning energy drink off my keyboard. (Do you want to rub me right?) But I agree with everything you said. It's scary the "voluntary" surveillance data we surrender to corporate social media platforms.
boo hoo. Get some actual hobbies. This all ends when you lot start getting a life again. Sat chatting garbage on twitter all day for decades, what a joke
Discord is the only social media im on. Basicly irc with voice chat there are servers and channels for everything any niche you can find your people for all your interests. You can use it a lot like a forum but its diffrent forums are better for finding information, discord is better for finding brains
Discord isn't encrypted or able to indexed for search engines. I forsee a lot of very valuable info and resources being totally lost when these discord echochambers implode due to petty drama and cliques. The modding scene for various games is plagued with this problem.
Strongly disagree with your opinion on elon, the dude likes money because it allows him to reinvest it into other things he's interested in but I don't see how he is evil to any extent or greedy..
@@teksyndicate Okay so I hear people say this a lot and I agreed until I looked into it... He asked for a robust plan with accountability to solve world hunger and he'd donate 6B to anyone who could. UN came up with a plan but lets be honest, the united nations can't wipe it's own ass so unless someone can take all that cash and actually use it effectively without some of it going "missing" I'm sure he would. Maybe could be something TH-camrs get together and put together, no? Not sure but the argument he is hoarding cash like that isn't true at all.
@@teksyndicate Also good example of tons of cash being poured into social programs with little to no effect is California and the piles of money they've tried using to end homelessness but all that money basically vanished
@@teksyndicateYou dont get to dictate where others spend their money Logan. Thats like saying because ive made a few quid in my lifetime that i should spend it on homeless people. No, its my money and ill do what I want with it and Elon has every right to spend his wherever he sees fit. If you have an issue with how wealth is distributed then stop voting in corrupt leftys that say one thing and do the opposite. The last President America had that tried to distribute the wealth better and stop monopolies you all claimed "orange man bad" The hypocrisy by the American/Canadian left is appalling, even the left wingers here in the UK think you lot are the biggest hypocrits going. You want to end the big tech monopoly Logan then take your kids outdoors and give them actual hobbies, you know like the old days where occupied minds dont need screens. Yeah but you'd rather sit about putting nail varnish on and pointing a camera at yourself and have a moan. Have a look in the mirror man.
5:12 I have no idea how to answer this 🤣 stupid question, are the same privacy concerns still present even if using a "wrapper" app instead of the official social media apps from these companies? (probably, I'm guessing)

Jesus loves you dude!

Marxism is the way. The people must unite.

You are spot on about society, democracy is destroyed by power and greed, our society's are being erroded, we are being controlled by division.
no shit sherlock

It's a better life in all regards, we really don't need social media it's more harm than good overall.
